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 🚀 https://t.co/c61gunZ8Gn
