LOXSAT's Photon spacecraft has been completed and has received clearance for Systems Integration Review (SIR) from Rocket Lab.

The SIR marks a key milestone for the program, allowing the team to proceed with payload integration. Rocket Lab will now proceed with environmental testing for the mission.

“We are excited to reach this milestone”, said Bill Notardonato, CEO of Eta Space. “We chose Rocket Lab as a launch provider based on their proven Electron rocket and the chance to have a dedicated launch to our exact orbit on our schedule. But their spacecraft experience and payload hosting services have proven to be just as valuable as launch services for our project success.”

Our lead software engineer, Frank Laterza, and associate software engineer, Garrett Webb, attended the Space Software Summit last week. 🚀🏔️

They had a great opportunity to learn how other companies build their systems and what products software vendors offer to accelerate missions, attend workshops, and network with other professionals in the industry.

“We are already working to apply what we learned into LOXSAT and now have a head start for future Eta Space endeavors.” - Garrett Webb

We’re excited to welcome Kevin Mellett to the Eta Space team as Project Manager for Eta Defense! 🎉

Kevin brings 40+ years of leadership and technical expertise across the Department of Defense, NASA, and the commercial space sector. He also represented NASA and the European, Canadian, and Japanese space agencies while stationed at the Russian ISS Mission Control Center in Moscow for 4 years.

At Eta Space, Kevin will lead our Cryo-Dock program—an advanced orbital system designed to store and deliver cryogenic propellants to orbital vehicles.

We’re thrilled to have him on board! 🚀
