Orpheus
Two near identical mini satellites that will fly in formation to observe and collect critical data to measure the effects of space weather.
Purpose / Objective
As global reliance on space infrastructure grows, so do the threats posed by space weather, adversarial actions, and orbital congestion. As a critical step in strengthening the UK’s capabilities in space, the Orpheus mission objectives are to enhance our understanding of space weather and improve space situational awareness.
Orpheus is a collaborative effort between UK industry, government and academia–as well as international government partners in Canada and the US.
