Fledgling is the 4th iteration in our series of technology demonstration satellites that prove out the majority of Care Weather's in-house satellite radar technology on orbit from an incredibly low-cost platform.

Fledgling aims to demonstrate:
🌀 Measurement of ocean surface wind speed.
💻 Linux central processor.
✈️ Attitude determination and control software for nadir pointing.
☀️ Deployed solar.
🪄 Shape-memory alloy deployment actuators.
📻 Over-the-air updates and a high-rate radio.
