Collision Space is targeting September 23, at 5pm GMT, for the second launch of Eternity One.
After multiple first- and second-stage tests, Eternity is ready to fly again, this time with a longer mission than its first flight.
The second stage will carry two Piper Sat satellites into orbit.
these satellites are developed by Collision Space and are intended to give effective communication service for our vehicles in space.
the satellites that will be launched, are a test version to verify the systems developed for the second version that should be the final one.
After analysing the data from the first launch of Eternity One, the team decided that it's too risky to make a landing on land and so the booster will perform a gentle splashdown in front of the coast of our launch pad.
Due to the short distance from the coast of the splashdown site, the camera team should be able to capture the landing giving us not only data but also images to make future improvements to this tricky manoeuvre.
This time, after releasing the payload, the SS4 second stage will remain in orbit for another 24 hours or so to test various systems, including ground communications via piper sat, for future longer missions.
In fact, the next version of this vehicle should be able to be refueled in orbit to carry the payload into higher orbits to even droo's two satellites, Brigo and Luna.
