Commissioning milestones ahead of schedule . Monthly newsletter on time, 1st of month. We have too much real news to post a joke today, but we’ll have a good one next year.
A lot has happened in two weeks. We launched Clarity-1. Made first contact. Transitioned to Protect mode. Commissioned our hardware and operational modes. Completed an on-orbit software update. Hop aboard the rocketship or you'll get left behind 🚀.

Creating shareholder value thanks to @tbpn - live from Mission Control.
We asked @TopherHaddad to break down what @Albedo does. "We started 2020 in @ycombinator.". "Albedo builds satellites that fly in VLEO (Very Low Earth Orbit) and capture clear images.". "It's a breakthrough in terms of the data quality and costs."

The biggest news yet. 14 hours after launch, Clarity-1 is now in Protect Mode - a version of traditional safe mode with a bunch of extras for the unique VLEO envt. Internal estimates were L+4 days to this point. Control algo’s to slew with our CMGs, flight software functionality,.
We successfully made first contact with Clarity-1 at 5:11 am MT, approximately 3 hours after our SpaceX deployment. Commands and telemetry are flowing; all systems nominal. 🗣️. First contact, first mission, first satellite that will operate in VLEO - whole lotta firsts🥇
