 "Rocket, space rocket")
Pixxel, an Indian space-tech startup, has signed an agreement with Silicon Valley-based in-space satellite transportation and infrastructure company Momentus Inc, to launch its second satellite into space.
The launch, scheduled for next year on top of a SpaceX Falcon-9 to SSO orbit (Sun-synchronous orbit), a particular kind of polar orbit. Satellites in SSO, travelling over the polar regions, are synchronous with the Sun. SSO is one of the most frequently used orbits for Earth-science and national security missions. The company’s first satellite is scheduled to be launched towards the end of this year on a Russian Soyuz rocket.
