Indra Space will present itself at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) starting on Monday 2 March as an architect of a new paradigm for secure communications.
Federated Learning is a distributed machine learning paradigm in which models travel to data rather than sending raw data to a central model.
Orbital Paradigm’s KID reentry vehicle survived long enough to transmit valuable data despite ISRO’s PSLV failing during launch.
Orbital Paradigm’s sensors saturated at a maximum reading of 30 g during the flight.
Orbital Paradigm’s data indicate the KID demonstrator experienced external temperatures of 300–350º and internal temperatures of 85º.
Orbital Paradigm designed the vehicle KID, also known as Kestrel Initial Demonstrator.
Orbital Paradigm built the KID vehicle in one year with fewer than 10 engineers and a budget under one million euros.
Orbital Paradigm expected KID to experience 14 g during the flight.
Orbital Paradigm considers the reentry data from KID sufficiently complete to forgo a second KID mission.
Orbital Paradigm will focus on the Learn to Fly mission next year, which will include full recovery capabilities and carry commercial customers.
Orbital Paradigm estimates that KID survived an acceleration probably exceeding 35 g, about 2.5 times the original expectation.
KID achieved four of the five technological challenges that Orbital Paradigm set for the demonstrator.
Orbital Paradigm’s Kestrel Initial Demonstrator (KID) transmitted flight data for 190 seconds despite the PSLV-C62 third-stage anomaly.
KID is a 25-kilogram, football-sized reentry capsule developed by Spanish startup Orbital Paradigm.
Orbital Paradigm’s KID endured forces beyond its design limits, returned partial telemetry, and initial analysis indicates four of five planned mission milestones were achieved, but customer data could not be delivered and the company did not declare the mission a success.
Orbital Paradigm achieved 4 out of 5 launch milestones with the KID demonstrator, albeit through an off-nominal profile.
Orbital Paradigm, based in Valencia, was founded in 2023 and is developing a reusable capsule called Kestrel with the capability to host payloads of up to 120 kilograms in orbit for up to three months.
Orbital Paradigm considers the KID flight a failure because customer data was scheduled to be transmitted later in the flight and the capsule did not have enough time to complete that before ocean impact.
Orbital Paradigm reported that the survival of the KID demonstrator after the PSLV launch anomaly came as a surprise.
Orbital Paradigm is developing a new capsule that will be fully recovered, scheduled to launch in early 2027.
