Centauri 4

Centauri-6 joins Fleet Space Technologies’ existing satellites Centauri-3 (launched March 2021), Centauri-4 (launched June 2021), and Centauri-5 (launched May 2022) in Fleet Space’s satellite constellation.

Upgrades from the CENTAURI-4 payload include direct communication links to ground stations and an extended S-band range that allows uplink at standard ground station frequencies.

CENTAURI-5's payload includes upgrades over CENTAURI-4 that mitigate radiation effects in LEO, provide direct communication links to ground stations, and extend S-band range to allow uplink at standard ground station frequencies.

Fleet Space previously deployed Centauri 4 on SpaceX’s Transporter-2 mission in June 2021.

Centauri 4 payload upgrades include an extended S-band range that allows uplink at standard ground-station frequencies.

Swissto12 helped Fleet Space Technologies deliver metal 3D-printed patch antennas used on Fleet Space’s Centauri 4 satellite.

Centauri 4 was developed in collaboration with Tyvak and has been integrated with Fleet Space’s smallsat digital beamforming technology using an array of multiple 3D-printed, all-metal antennas and Digital Signal Processing.

Fleet Space Technologies launched its sixth smallsat, Centauri 4 (C4), aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Transporter-2 mission on 2021-06-30, EST.

Centauri 4 implements Fleet Space’s first 3D-printed antenna system, completely designed in-house.

Centauri 4 was one of 88 government, military, and commercial satellites released at 525 km into low Earth orbit on the Transporter-2 mission pushed toward a sun-synchronous, pole-to-pole Earth orbit.

Centauri 4 was launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral.

Tyvak International launched the nanosatellite Centauri 4 on 2021-07-23.
