🛰️ Our Azalea™ radio frequency satellites, designed and built in the UK, have been successfully launched into low Earth orbit, marking a crucial milestone in our self-funded mission. Flying in formation, the satellites will use their ultra-wideband radio frequency sensors to monitor and geolocate radio signals on Earth to deliver a powerful layer of information directly to decision-makers across air, land and sea. They are joined by a Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite from ICEYE creating a cluster of four satellites with advanced multi-sensing capabilities.
