Electron Flight 47 | Beginning Of The Swarm
Beginning Of The Swarm carried two spacecraft for separate programs and used Electron's Kick Stage to place them in orbits roughly 500 kilometres apart. KAIST's NEONSAT-1 began a Korean Earth-observation constellation for disaster monitoring, while NASA's Advanced Composite Solar Sail System demonstrated lightweight composite booms for deploying a nine-metre-square solar sail.
