Asteria does not require preinstalled infrastructure to attach to orbital assets.
Kall Morris Inc. will develop Asteria, a payload attachment system that can connect to existing and next-generation orbital assets using a controlled-release, non-destructive adhesive.
Kall Morris Inc. is developing Asteria, a payload attachment system that can dock with existing and next-generation orbital assets using a non-destructive, controlled-release adhesive.
Asteria could support satellite servicing, life-extension operations, and data collection.
Kall Morris Inc. will develop Asteria, an add-on satellite retention system that can be installed on spacecraft already in orbit without requiring preinstalled infrastructure.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory deployed ASTERIA to observe the exoplanet 55 Cancri e in 2017.
MEOLUT Next pinpointed the Asteria’s location within four minutes on 2022-11-18, enabling rescue crews to reach the yacht and save the skipper Tapio Lehtinen.
A MEOLUT Next antenna picked up a distress signal from the yacht Asteria on 2022-11-18, 2,0 m southwest of La Réunion.
ASTERIA required pointing control and thermal control at levels not previously demonstrated on a cubesat platform in order to perform high-precision transit photometry.
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory lost contact with the ASTERIA spacecraft on 2020-01-03.
ASTERIA was deployed from the International Space Station in November 2017.
