Solstar provides Wi-Fi link between NASA cubesat and Vigoride-7

Solstar Space connected NASA's R5-S10 cubesat with Momentus' Vigoride-7 orbital vehicle via Wi-Fi during a proximity operations demo, relaying over 2,300 files to NASA Johnson through an Iridium data link. Ground tests showed the link working beyond 200 meters.

• Over 2,300 files with optical, infrared and lidar data sent in ~30 minutes
• Data relayed via an experimental Iridium Communications link
• Ground tests showed the Deke link reaching beyond 200 meters
• Data will help train AI models for autonomous missions
