Barry-1 Hello World Mission launch and deploy inaugural spacecraft successfully
GILFORD, NH, November 13, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ — Rogue Space Systems, creator of Orbots™, autonomous AI robots that provide in-space infrastructure and services, is proud to announce the successful launch and deployment of its first spacecraft, Barry-1. The satellite was launched on SpaceX’s Transporter-9 mission via Exolaunch on 11 November, 2023. Once operational in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Barry-1 will test Rogue’s Scalable Compute Platform (SCP) and its ability to aggregate data from multiple sensors and process that data in real time. Additionally, Rogue will be performing on-orbit testing of internal and customer-developed algorithms. The satellite will be equipped with a range of sensors that will collect data on various aspects of spaceflight, including radiation levels, temperature, and atmospheric conditions.
Barry-1 is a demonstration vehicle showcasing Rogue’s novel technology. The satellite will test the company’s proprietary Scalable Compute Platform (SCP), which has been developed in part under a contract awarded through the SpaceWERX Orbital Prime Program. The SCP is designed to aggregate data from multiple sensors and process it in real-time, enabling fast onboard decision-making and safer operations.
Barry-1 was jointly integrated into its EXOpod Nova deployer with Exolaunch, who provided mission management, integration, and deployment hardware and services, before being transported to Vandenberg Space Force Base for launch. The satellite was launched on SpaceX’s Transporter-9 mission, the latest mission in SpaceX’s dedicated Smallsat rideshare program.
Barry-1 also has some interesting customer hardware payloads. The Rogue team will be testing two IVO Quantum Drives – propellant-less propulsion systems. Rogue was contracted by IVO to ensure thorough in-space testing and validation were conducted.
