Skykraft Block 1 (Majura)
Skykraft Block 1 (Majura) [Skykraft]
Skykraft Majura is the Block 1 prototype for Skykrafts constellation providing global coverage and the reliability needed for air traffic management to provide continuous coverage for aircraft at all altitudes and locations. Skykraft’s space-based solution allows real-time communications between air traffic controllers and pilots.
The prototype satellite was planned to fly on a Momentus Vigoride space tug on a ride-share mission.
The prototype satellite was built, but not launched as Skykraft decided to start launching directly with Skykraft Block 2 satellites.
