This project is focused on several subsystems associated with the OrbAstro Flocking Module. The Flocking Module wholly enables formation flight and flocking of satellites. The variant of Flocking Module being developed within this project is targeting the nanosatellite market. The output of this project will the completion of a TRL5 fully-integrated Flocking Module. The technology developed will serve as the foundation for a range of Flocking Modules addressing the broader constellations and clusters market.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
