Today we announce the conclusion of the Otter Pup mission. A robust little satellite, it validated Starfish tech, anchored our physics models, and even captured images during a rendezvous. Congratulations to Otter Pup on a well deserved retirement! Throughout this mission we’ve felt grateful to be a part of a dynamic and supportive industry. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported this project, particularly our partners who helped make the mission possible. We hope you all enjoy one final image captured by Otter Pup of our Nautilus capture mechanism overlooking Earth. 🌎 ASI by Rocket Lab, Astro Digital, D-Orbit, Exotrail, Honeybee Robotics, a Blue Origin Company, Launcher, LeoLabs, Redwire Space, SpaceX
