✅ Successful Transporter-18 launch with Meridian Space's First Customer Link (FCL) satellite
✅ Contact on 1st pass; all systems activated, including Meridian’s payload
✅ Major step toward affordable LEO broadband networks for governments and organizations

Built on our MP42 microsatellite bus, FCL carries Meridian’s novel reflectarray communications payload, designed to enable smaller, more power-efficient satellites and reduce the cost and complexity of deploying dedicated broadband networks.

The mission went from kickoff to orbit in just over a year. FCL will now allow Meridian to validate its technology in space, while both teams use operational learnings from the mission to inform the constellation-optimized satellites already in development.

Under our €122.5 million contract, we will build 280 satellites for Meridian. Combined with our serial satellite manufacturing capacity, Meridian aims to make customer-owned LEO broadband networks financially feasible for more governments and organizations worldwide.

The launch continues our 100% first-contact success record across more than 60 launched customer satellites and carried multiple communication and power systems we supplied to repeat customers as well.

Next stop: Space! The mission is set to launch in under 2 hours on October 1st at 18:22 UTC. Here's what's heading to Sun-synchronous orbit from California this time:

🛰️ The Meridian Space First Customer Link (FCL) satellite:

Built on our MP42 microsatellite bus, FCL will demonstrate Meridian’s proprietary 5G communications technology, including two advanced reflectarray antennas, in orbit. The mission will validate the technology for a constellation-optimized satellite we are designing together for serial manufacturing at a rate of 100s of units per year. Meridian's compact, power-efficient reflectarray design, paired with our buses, will enable high-capacity sovereign SatCom constellations that can be independently owned and controlled by governments and enterprises.

🛰️ Communication and power systems supporting other missions:

We supplied several other customer satellites aboard Transporter-18 with our flight-proven hardware, including communication and complete power solutions comprising electrical power systems, battery packs, and solar panels, powering an undisclosed customer's constellation.

It's been just over a year since project kickoff, and Meridian Space's First Customer Link (FCL) satellite is sitting atop its launch vehicle, ready to demonstrate Meridian's proprietary 5G communications technology in orbit.

Set to launch aboard Transporter-18 on October 1st at 18:18 UTC, FCL carries Meridian's proprietary communications payload, including two advanced reflectarray antennas, aboard our MP42 microsatellite bus.

These systems will lay the foundation for what's coming next:

A constellation-optimized satellite we are designing together for scalable manufacturing, with a compact, power-efficient design that makes the most of launch vehicle payload volume and reduces deployment costs as Meridian scales toward its high-capacity LEO constellation.

For governments and enterprises, this will open up more accessible, sovereign broadband infrastructure that they can own and control independently.

Learn more about broadband constellations designed for sovereign affordability in the comments below and stay tuned for more launch updates.

„Į šią [kosmoso inžinerijos] sritį ėjau vedama smalsumo ir žingeidumo, tad apie tai, su kokiais iššūkiais gali tekti susidurti, per daug negalvojau. Visada sau sakau: jei gali kiti, galiu ir aš“, – sako Evelina. Sakitykite daugiau: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0ysfjd0

In addition to our recent 500 kg-class MP42D satellite bus announcement, we introduced significant Gen-2 upgrades to our smaller microsatellite buses - the (now) 200 kg-class MP42 and the 100 kg-class MP42H:

— Max payload mass increased to 100 kg for MP42 and 35 kg for MP42H
— All microsatellite lifetimes increased from 5 years in a 600 km SSO to 7 years in a 750 km SSO
— X-band data downlink rates increased to 650 Mbps
— Rad-tolerant data storage increased to more than 512 GB
— Greater GNSS jamming and spoofing resistance
— Higher satellite agility and greater pointing accuracy at all times

The first handful of Gen-2 MP42 microsatellite buses have already been built, tested, and are getting ready to launch soon.

Yours can be ready in as little as 9 months from project kickoff.
