ARIETIS-NS, the state-of-the-art 3-axis gyroscope from InnaLabs®, launches into space with the ESA - European Space Agency ‘HERA’ mission later on today!
ARIETIS-NS will finally launch at 15:52 Irish time this afternoon from Cape Canaveral, Florida as part of the HERA mission, helping to guide the satellite towards the Didymos asteroid system. The result of years of hard work will come to fruition this afternoon, the ARIETIS-NS is a high-performance, space-qualified radiation-tolerant gyroscope unit that has been meticulously designed for missions such as this, to endure the harshest of journeys through outer space.
Everyone at InnaLabs® is proud of our hand in the HERA mission today, and we will be looking on this afternoon with pride knowing that our young Irish company played a critical role in the exploration of planetary defence of Earth.
