You wrote “I have a satellite launching on the second Vigoride and I am not getting information on when it will fly. I hear June from my integrator but if they haven’t launched the first one, how can they say June for the second unless they are combining things (not a good look)”

Since they have lost contracts, it seems that room has opened up. You probably got your ride in June due to that opened opportunity. You are right, it does not look so good for the company, but hopefully they will get through this rocky start and will be able to serve a large number of customers in the future.

Please let us know the results of your flight. As I recall, you are flying a 5 cm cubesat to test your idea for solar arrays. Good luck to you.

I have a satellite launching on the second Vigoride and I am not getting information on when it will fly. I hear June from my integrator but if they haven’t launched the first one, how can they say June for the second unless they are combining things (not a good look).

Transparency in this industry is hard to come by. Every thinks they are protecting secrets but they really aren’t going about it with the right methodology. Just keep customers in the loop. It goes a long way.
