Atlanta, GA, March 29, 2019<\/strong>– Blink Astro (Blink\u00ae) is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of their custom radio receiver payload hosted on the NanoAvionics\u2019 M6P 6U spacecraft using Indian Space Research Organization\u2019s (ISRO) PSLV-C45 launch vehicle slated for March 31, 2019.<\/p>\n
Back in November 2017, Blink\u00ae\u00a0released its first ground terminal device, the AgriBlinkR\u2122, showcasing Blink’s end-to-end customer solution for monitoring and analyzing the precision agriculture sector. Building on the success of the AgriBlinkR\u2122 release, the upcoming spaceflight demonstration mission provides a key demonstration of Blink’s proprietary radio technology and lays the foundation for the future BlinkSat\u2122 constellation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are excited for the upcoming flight to prove out a number of key technologies for our custom data network, including the BlinkR\u00ae\u00a0ground-based sensor terminals, on-orbit radio systems, and user data portal,\u201d said Kevin Feld, Blink\u2019s Chief Engineer.<\/p>\n
The collaboration with NanoAvionics has allowed Blink\u00ae\u00a0the ability to test payload software and simulate all functional parts for the low cost global IoT satellite constellation vision.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur hosted payload partners at NanoAvionics have been fantastic to work with to get this first technology demonstrator payload into space. We are hoping to use this mission as a proof-of-concept toward our vision of a more comprehensive low cost space-based IoT solution in several of our key markets, including agriculture, transportation, environmental monitoring, and military applications,\u201d said Dr. John R. Olds, Blink Astro\u2019s CEO.<\/p>\n
