2013

April 2013

dragNET De-Orbit System

Launched in 2013 on the Minotaur I ORS-3 Mission, the dragNET De-orbit System successfully de-orbited the upper stage of the launch vehicle.
November 2013

dragNET De-Orbit System

Launched on the STPSat-3 in 2013, a dragNET De-orbit is awaiting mission completion to activate.

January 2016

dragNET De-orbit System

Successfully achieved its mission by de-orbiting the upper stage of the Minotaur launch vehicle.

April 2017

SHARC HaWK

MMA’s HaWK Solar Array launched in 2017 with the SHARC mission. It is successfully on orbit, and will help to accelerate the satellite’s de-orbit at end-of-life to mitigate orbital debris.
November 2017

ASTERIA HaWK

MMA’s HaWK Solar Array launched in 2017 and is successfully powering the ASTERIA mission.

May 2018

MarCO HaWK

Launched in May 2018, MarCO’s twin satellites provide real-time data relay during descent and landing of the InSight Mars Lander, and is the first interplanetary cubesat mission.
May 2018

Commercial HaWK

Launched in May 2018, this HaWK is powering data relays to satellites using laser communication down links for higher data transfer rates.
October 2018

FalconSAT-7

This mission launches in late 2018, and aims to image the sun, demonstrates a deployable optical telescope that uses a membrane photon sieve (developed by MMA Design) instead of a traditional rigid optical lens.
November 2018

SPARC-1

The Space Plug-and-play Architecture (SPA) Research Cubesat, or SPARC-1 mission, is a joint program between the US and Sweden to explore the potential of modular, miniature avionics to empower spacecraft with for useful military applications.

November 2019

BioSentinel HaWK

Launching in 2019, this mission will demonstrate a biosensor to detect, measure, and correlate the impact of space radiation to living organisms over long durations beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
December 2019

LunaH-Map eHaWK

Launching in 2019 on SLS, this mission searches for hydrogen deposits on the Moon’s south pole.
December 2019

Lunar FlashLight HaWK

Launching in 2019 on SLS, this mission explores ice deposits in the moon’s permanently shadowed craters to detect composition, quantity, distribution, form of water/H species and other volatiles found there.
December 2019

EQUULEUS HaWK

Launching on SLS in 2019, EQUULEUS will measure the distribution of plasma that surrounds the Earth (plasmasphere) to help scientists understand the radiation environment in that region.
December 2019

NEAScout HaWK

Launching in 2019 on SLS, this mission is a robotic reconnaissance mission that will be deployed to fly by, and return data from, an asteroid representative of NEAs that may one day be human destinations.returns data from an asteroid representative of near-earth asteroids (NEAs) that may one day be human destinations.
