Momentus announces advancements in Vigoride-7 mission

Momentus (MNTS) shared a series of significant achievements in the ongoing Vigoride-7 mission, marking one of the most successful early-phase operations in the company’s history. Following separation from SpaceX’s Transporter-16 mission at approximately 520 km altitude, the Vigoride-7 Orbital Service Vehicle powered on autonomously, deployed its solar arrays, and executed initial configuration as designed. Within hours, Momentus established two-way communication between Vigoride-7 and our San Jose based Mission Operations Center. Early communication verified the spacecraft and its hosted payloads are healthy. Comprehensive bus system checks validated that primary and redundant subsystems for power, command & data handling, and attitude control were fully operational.
