We dedicate these first images of MH- 1 to all those who believe it's possible ... and build!

‍
Yes, MH-1 is what it's called it at the historic moment of its launch on 4 March aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9.

‍

MH-1 has now passed another important milestone with the completion of the first phase of LEOP (Launch and Early Orbit Phase), which includes the assessment of the satellite's operating status and integrity and the initial tests of the on-board sensors, having established vital communications with the antennas of the Teleport on the island of Santa Maria on 19 March.

‍

The images we're sharing today were taken by the low-resolution RGB camera. At the moment, the satellite is still in the commissioning phase, in which all the subsystems are being tested and monitored and operations activities are being consolidated in the CEiiA and Thales teams.

MH-1 is the result of a project led by Thales Edisoft Portugal in collaboration with CEiiA, involving a consortium of 12 entities, including the companies Spin.Works and dstelecom, and the University of Minho, the University of Porto and the University of Algarve, Instituto Superior Técnico, CoLab + Atlântico, Okeanos - Institute of Marine Sciences and AIR Centre - Atlantic International Research Centre.
