Momentus signs contract with Australian Research Centre to place satellite in orbit
Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS) has signed a contract with the CUAVA Training Centre at the University of Sydney to deploy the CUAVA-2 CubeSat in low-Earth orbit in October 2023.
CUAVA is the Australian Research Council Training Centre for CubeSats, Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles, and their Applications. CUAVA is a partnership centered at the University of Sydney that aims to fundamentally change t USC works with Polaris Dawn to study in-flight space medicine
Today's spaceflights typically last a few days to a few months, so onboard medical treatment is mostly limited to first aid. But researchers are increasingly exploring new terrain-known as in-flight space medicine-that will be critical for maintaining astronauts' health during longer missions, such as the 21-month roundtrip to Mars.

For a team of NASA and industry researchers seeking to make aviation more sustainable, it's all about the twist.
No, we're not thinking of Chubby Checker and his signature song and dance. Instead, the focus here is on metal alloys whose molecules literally change shape when exposed to a certain temperature range.

Rain gauges are plentiful around the United States, but that's not the case elsewhere in the world - particularly over oceans and sparsely populated areas. That means scientists and other data users have to rely on satellite measurements - such as those provided by NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission - to fill in the gaps.
The list of data users now includes the U.S. Air Media invitation: Meteosat Third Generation Imager-1 launch
