Spacebit calculated re-entry point of Peregrine lander.
It was a great flight! And we will do it again.

At Spacebit we calculated time and place of the Peregrine lander contact with Earth atmosphere. Would you like to know the result?

"Sending the heart shaped flag and map of Ukraine to the Moon, I want to honor the indomitable spirit of my homeland. It will be forever preserved on the moon as a symbol of the Ukrainian people's faith in their future, regardless of external challenges," stated the founder of the company Spacebit, British-Ukrainian, Pavlo Tanasyuk.

На новій ракеті-носії Vulcan сьогодні в космос разом з місячним посадковим модулем Astrobotic Peregrine та капсулою з прахом акторів серіалу «Зоряний шлях» також відправилося корисне навантаження масою близько 1,5 кг британської компанії Spacebit, заснованої українцем Павлом Танасюком. Воно включає температурний та радіаційний датчики, відеокамеру, а ще металеву пластину з прапором та мапою України.

«На знак солідарності з українським народом Spacebit надсилає прапор України з металевим тисненням мапи України. У цій металевій пластині використовується новий тип покриття, яке раніше ніколи не випробовувалося на поверхні Місяця. Ці фарби створені на водній основі і можуть витримувати екстремальні температури протягом сотень років. Копію таблички було подаровано президенту України Володимиру Зеленському перед повномасштабним вторгненням росії в Україну», - говориться на сайті компанії.

Пластину виробив один із заводів «Укроборонпром» у Києві. Вона зроблена з алюмінію, вкрита золотом.

Have your name forever on the Moon with Spacebit - Wevolver Engineering Challenge!

Our exciting new partnership with the Wevolver platform is designed to create a competitive advantage for the global engineering community.

The Spacebit Engineering Challenge enables engineers around the world to contribute to the development of “Asagumo 2.0”, a four-legged walking rover that is set to fly to the Moon with the NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program in 2021 and 2022.

We're super excited to kick of the "Spacebit Engineering Challenge with Spacebit, a UK-based space startup developing space robotic technology and space data analytics tools for space exploration that includes advanced micro robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The Spacebit Engineering Challenge enables engineers around the world to contribute to the development of “Asagumo 2.0”, a four-legged walking rover that is set to fly to the Moon with the NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program in 2021 and 2022.

Over the next several weeks Spacebit will invite the Wevolver community in an open format, for inputs and ideas on various engineering challenges as they develop new rover designs and technologies for space-based applications, beginning with the Moon. The technical feedback will be used to help improve and iterate Spacebit’s technology.

The engineering inputs will be assessed and the most valuable contributors will be rewarded by having their name engraved on the Asagumo rover before it launches on its maiden journey to the Moon. Additionally, the winning engineer will be invited to the control room in the UK or US; or, participate in Spacebit’s remote Robotic Operations & Control Center (ROCC).

Great business dinner with a great company.
Was good to inspire with innovation with our moon mission.

Surviving vast temperature drops on Mars is a major milestone for the 4-pound (1.8 kilograms) rotorcraft with the right insulation, thermal properties, and enough energy in its battery to survive the cold night.
Our software engineers are now eagerly waiting for Ingenuity's first flight (the first powered flight on another planet) for highly reliable SW components.

Safe & sound on the surface of Mars: the , Ingenuity, has survived the first cold night on its own, a major milestone for the small rotorcraft because surface temps can plunge as low as -130 degrees F (-90 degrees C). http://go.nasa.gov/3dztqB1

“Building small rovers has its advantages.” Small rovers allow for greater participation in space exploration due to lower cost barriers.
Private companies, national space agencies, science and research institutes have access to our solar system and can perform space science like never before. Asagumo, as CNN mentions simply makes space more accessible.
