HERMES-SP (High Energy Rapid Modular Ensemble of Satellites - Scientific Pathfinder) is a mission concept based on a constellation of nano-satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) for GRB detection and localisation.

15/03/2025

📢Today, March 15, 2025 (7:39 CET), the HERMES Pathfinder mission (https://www.hermes-sp.eu) was successfully launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, as part of the Transporter-13 mission. 🚀

The HERMES constellation, composed of six 3U CubeSat nanosatellites, was delivered into a Sun-synchronous orbit at approximately 510 km altitude, as planned in the mission profile. Over the coming days, the satellites will be gradually released into orbit from D-Orbit’s ION Satellite Carrier platform, with one satellite deployed per day.

HERMES Pathfinder is an international project led by Italy, coordinated by INAF - Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica and Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI), involving numerous research institutions and universities:

🔹 INAF - Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica
🔹 Agenzia Spaziale Italiana
🔹 Politecnico di Milano
🔹 Università degli studi di Pavia
🔹 UniCa - Università degli Studi di Cagliari
🔹 Fondazione Bruno Kessler
🔹 INFN - Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare
🔹 Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen
🔹 Università degli Studi di Udine
🔹 Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), CAS, China

Additional partners of the HERMES Scientific Pathfinder project include: FPM, Skylabs, University of Nova Gorica, Aalta-lab, ELTE, C3S, Masaryk University, Konkoly Observatory, and DEIMOS.

The HERMES Pathfinder mission aims to probe the temporal variability of X-ray radiation emitted by high-energy cosmic transients, such as Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and electromagnetic counterparts of Gravitational Wave Events (GWEs). Thanks to a new generation of miniaturized detectors mounted aboard a constellation of nanosatellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), HERMES Pathfinder will open new avenues in the study of extreme astrophysical phenomena.

Scientific coordination of the project is led by Dr. Fabrizio Fiore, Director of INAF Osservatorio Astronomico di Trieste, who emphasizes:

“With HERMES Pathfinder, Italy confirms its leading role in high-energy space science. This mission demonstrates the potential of small satellite constellations for astrophysical research, opening new perspectives in the observation of the Universe and in international collaboration.”

The mission control center is managed by ALTEC in Turin, while the science operations center is located at ASI’s scientific data center. Ground support is provided by two dedicated stations: one in Italy (Spino d’Adda) and one in Australia (Katherine), operated by an international consortium funded by the EC project AHEAD2020, comprising INAF as well as the University of Tasmania, the The University of Melbourne , and Masaryk University.

🚀 NEWS - Hermes Launch Delay Update (March 14, 23:39 Pacific / March 15, 06:39 UTC)

The launch of the Hermes mission has experienced a slight delay and is now officially rescheduled for March 15, 2025, at 06:39 UTC (07:39 Central European Time). ⏰

According to the latest update provided by the Hermes mission team, the deployment of the ION is scheduled to occur at precisely 07:38:51.53 UTC. The updated orbital parameters for the ION upon release are as follows:

Perigee Altitude: 504.504 km
Apogee Altitude: 518.565 km
Inclination: 97.442°
Local Time of Ascending Node (LTAN): 10:20:35.666972
Argument of Perigee: 78.026°
Longitude of Ascending Node: 40.770°
Mean Anomaly: -77.744°

Despite this minor schedule adjustment, the mission remains on track to achieve its scientific and technological objectives. 🎯 Further updates will be provided as they become available.

📢🚀HERMES PATHFINDER SCHEDULED FOR LAUNCH ON BOARD TRANSPORTER 13 ON MARCH 15, 2025 🛰️🚀

SpaceX has confirmed that Transporter 13 is scheduled for launch at 06:39:00 UTC on March 15, 2025 (7:39 AM Italian time, still March 14 in California time), from the Vandenberg Space Force Base (VSFB), California, USA. The six HERMES Pathfinder 3U cubesats will be integrated into D-Orbit ION at the beginning of February 2025 at VSFB. Later, ION will be integrated into the SpaceX Falcon 9. The liftoff is scheduled at 01:06:47 UTC. ION is foreseen to be released in a Sun Synchronous Orbit with an altitude of 512-522 km, an inclination of 97.436 degrees, and an LTAN of 10:30 ± 10 minutes. The HERMES Pathfinder constellation will be released starting from one week later, one satellite per day.

The HERMES Pathfinder Mission Operation Center is handled by Altec Torino, and the Scientific Operation Center is hosted by ASI Space Science Data Center. Two dedicated Ground Stations will support the operation, one at Spino D’Adda in Italy and a second in Katherine, Northern Territory, Australia.

The six HERMES Pathfinder satellites have been integrated and tested at Politecnico di Milano facilities in Milano. The six X-ray/gamma-ray payloads have been integrated, tested, and calibrated at INAF-IAPS and Fondazione Bruno Kessler facilities in Roma and Trento. Environmental mechanical tests have been performed at Politecnico di Milano facilities, thermal vacuum tests at Thales Alenia Space’s Gorgonzola facility and INAF-IAPS’s facility.

Three of the six HERMES Pathfinder flight units were developed under the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 program, HERMES-Scientific Pathfinder project (GA 821896). Three flight units were realized under the framework of the ASI contracts HERMES-Technological Pathfinder. The Katherine Ground Station is managed by the University of Tasmania in the framework of an agreement with INAF, the University of Melbourne, and Masaryk University, and it is mostly funded by the EC INFRAIE project AHEAD2020 (GA 871158).

We look forward to hearing soon the first HERMES Pathfinder whispering from space!
