Rocket Lab, one of the largest startups in the NewSpace category (New Space), providing services for launching spacecraft into orbit and satellite communications, announced the Photon satellite platform.
According to Rocket Lab, customers will now be able to place orders with it to make satellites. The Photon platform has been designed so that customers do not have to build their own satellite equipment.
"Small satellite operators want to focus on delivering data or services using spacecraft, but the need to build satellite hardware is a significant barrier to achieving that goal," Rocket Lab founder and CEO Peter Beck said. Rocket Lab will provide customers with a turnkey solution for small satellite missions, providing easy access to space, he said. βWe enable our customers to focus on their payload and mission β we take care of the rest,β said Peter Beck.
