MyRadar has signed a launch agreement with Exolaunch for the deployment of the company’s first two HORIS pathfinder satellites— these satellites, HORIS-1 and HORIS-2, are set to launch on upcoming SpaceX rideshare missions.
This agreement signifies an important development in MyRadar’s satellite-based capabilities. The HORIS pathfinder satellites represent the initial phase in deploying a comprehensive constellation of roughly 150 satellites. These satellites are integral to MyRadar’s strategy to enhance global weather forecasting and environmental monitoring and alerting capabilities.
HORIS-1 is scheduled to launch to LEO on the SpaceX Transporter-12 mission. This launch is pivotal in establishing the technological and operational groundwork for the subsequent HORIS constellation. Following this step, HORIS-2 is slated for launch aboard the SpaceX Transporter-13 mission, continuing the pathfinder phase of the project.
The primary objective of these initial satellites is to validate the technologies and operational protocols that will be used in the full HORIS constellation, as well as to gather AI training data for its observation and alerting models. The data collected from HORIS-1 and HORIS-2 will be instrumental in refining our approach to providing accurate, real-time environmental data.
As part of the NOAA Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador initiative, MyRadar is actively engaged in advancing the field of space-based weather monitoring and environmental data analysis. We anticipate sharing further updates as we approach the launch dates and continue to progress in our space-based initiatives.
“Partnering with Exolaunch represents our commitment to employing advanced space technologies for the modern era,” said CEO of MyRadar, Andy Green. “These collaborations are a testament to our dedication to innovation in the field of weather and EO technology.”
