More satellites on orbit!

🔎 Mission Spotlight 🔎
Today, we’re thrilled to introduce Alba Orbital , a returning passenger flying aboard our ION Satellite Carrier, recently launched into space.

ION SCV Eminent Emmanuel carries two AlbaPods, specialized satellite deployers developed by Alba Orbital for PocketQube satellites, accommodating formats ranging from 1p to 3p.

On this mission, the AlbaPods are hosting and deploying the following PocketQube satellites:

🛰 SKYLINK-1 & SKYLINK-2 - the latest additions to Hello Space’s IoT Pico-satellite series.
🛰 HYPE AGH - a 1P PocketQube by SatLab AGH, a student club from AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, and the first PocketQube from Poland.
🛰 PROMETHEUS-1 - an open-source 1P PocketQube developed by Universidade do Minho, Instituto Superior Técnico, and Carnegie Mellon University under the “PROMETHEUS” project.
🛰 POQUITO - "PocketQube for In Orbit Technology Operations," the first PocketQube mission by the Interdisciplinary Center of Security, Reliability, and Trust (SnT) at the University of Luxembourg.
🛰 HADES-R (aka ‘SmartSat’) and HYDRA-T - two 1.5P PocketQubes by Hydra Space Systems S.L., operated by AMSAT-EA.

It’s a pleasure to have you all on board!
