Solstar demonstrates space Wi-Fi in NASA RPO mission
Solstar Space demonstrated in-space Wi-Fi with its Deke Space Communicator aboard Momentus Vigoride-7 during a rendezvous and proximity mission with NASA's R5-S10 cubesat. The payload collected over 2,300 files in 30 minutes, including imagery and optical, infrared and LiDAR sensor data, and relayed them to NASA Johnson Space Center via the Iridium network.
