Successful Commissioning of Cubesats
After the successful launch on October 7, the cubesats on Europe’s Hera asteroid mission have already made first contact. This initial communication marks a significant step forward in the commissioning process. During this period, the teams confirmed that the cubesat instruments and systems operate as intended.
Moreover, they validated the full ground command infrastructure, ensuring everything functions correctly. These achievements pave the way for further exploration and data collection as the mission progresses.
