LOXSAT's Photon spacecraft has been completed and has received clearance for Systems Integration Review (SIR) from @rocketlabcorp .
The SIR marks a key milestone for the program, allowing the team to proceed with payload integration. Rocket Lab will now proceed with environmental testing for the mission.
“We are excited to reach this milestone”, said Bill Notardonato, CEO of Eta Space. “We chose Rocket Lab as a launch provider based on their proven Electron rocket and the chance to have a dedicated launch to our exact orbit on our schedule. But their spacecraft experience and payload hosting services have proven to be just as valuable as launch services for our project success.”

Our lead software engineer, Frank Laterza, and associate software engineer, Garrett Webb, attended the Space Software Summit last week. 🚀🏔️
They had a great opportunity to learn how other companies build their systems and what products software vendors offer to accelerate missions, attend workshops, and network with other professionals in the industry.
“We are already working to apply what we learned into LOXSAT and now have a head start for future Eta Space endeavors.” - Garrett Webb

We're excited to have Narottama "Tom" Esser join the Eta Space team as a Mechanical Engineer I. 🚀
He brings experience from an internship at NASA, where he worked on fluid and thermal modeling with cryogenic fluids, as well as a master’s thesis focused on cryogenic line chilldown modeling.
At Eta Space, Tom will be contributing his expertise in cryogenics to advance our space and energy applications.
Welcome to the team, Tom!

Our interns, Mitchell White and David Smith, wrapped up their summer internships with us last week. Here’s what they had to say about their favorite moments:
💬 “Doing tests with the whole team was fun, it was a good experience because you work with a lot of people and you’re learning about other people.” - David Smith
💬 “[I enjoyed] how much I learned as far as hands-on learning. The coworkers and how willing they were to help and incorporate me in a lot of the tasks I had to do.” - Mitchell White
We thank them for their contributions and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors!
