Tomorrow MS1, ..., MS18
Tomorrow MS1 [Tomorrow.io]
Tomorrow.io Microwave Sounder is a remote sensing mission comprised of 18 6U CubeSat sized satellites called Tomorrow-MS1 to -MS18, that will be used to provide worldwide low latency weather data for both numerical weather prediction and long-range weather forecasts.
The system consists of a Passive Microwave Sounder which leverages technologies of MIT Lincoln Laboratories (MIT LL), built by Tomorrow.io, integrated into a spacecraft based on Blue Canyon Technologies (BCT) standardized 6U Cubesat design.
The Tomorrow.io Weather Constellation is scheduled to launch in pairs on multiple SpaceX Falcon 9 rideshare missions, currently planned from Q2 2024 through Q3 2025. The planned launch location for launches is Cape Canaveral, Florida or Vandenberg Space Force Base, California.
