AAC Clyde Space's satellite Kelpie-2 payload antenna failure2023-11-22 AAC Clyde Space AB (publ)
AAC Clyde Space's 3U Space Data as a Service satellite Kelpie-2 suffered an anomaly of its payload antenna which did not deploy. Due to the malfunction the satellite will be unable to deliver the planned data services, and as such it is considered a total loss. The loss of the satellite has been reported to the company's insurer. AAC Clyde Space is investigating other options to deliver the data service to the customer to mitigate any financial consequences. AAC Clyde Space Satellite Operations and Engineering Teams were supported by the antenna manufacturer's engineering and management teams to identify the root cause of the failure. The cause was identified as a procedural issue that has been corrected for future uses of that antenna.
The satellite, launched in June 2023, was insured and the company has submitted an insurance claim for the satellite loss.
The company is investigating other options to deliver the data service to the customer in order to mitigate any financial consequences. AAC Clyde Space owns and operates a growing constellation of satellites dedicated to Space Data as a Service.
Data deliveries to the customer from AAC Clyde Space's existing Space Data as a Service constellations continues unchanged. FOR MORE INFORMATION:
