PS: Araqys-D2 может быть неотделяемой ПН

То есть получается 100.

Плюс 14 неотделяемых ПН.
И еще пять ПН пока не нашли.

We have shipped our 20kW satellite - Gravitas - to the launch site.
... few levels of success for this mission
Tier 1 (Baseline mission success): Deploy solar arrays, establish comms, operate the satellite —> we've now got an operational 20kW satellite on orbit
Tier 2: Power on the payloads, activate the 20kW propulsion system —> we're completing payload missions and have fired the highest power hall thruster ever flown on orbit

Первый уровень пройден.

Neel Kunjur, Co-Founder and CTO K2 Space
I'm excited to announce we have achieved our Tier 1 mission success criteria and have begun gathering a tremendous amount of data on how this brand new spacecraft performs.

On March 30th, 13:17:08Z, the Gravitas spacecraft separated from the SpaceX Transporter-16 stack to begin its mission as one of the highest power free-flying satellites ever launched.

Immediately after separation, the spacecraft autonomously:
- Executed detumbling maneuvers
- Established two-way communications with the ground (on our very first ground station pass)
- Deployed its 20kW solar arrays
- Slewed to a safe and stable attitude to await further ground commands

These actions alone are a testament to the incredible work of our in-house engineering, software, and GNC teams to build a robust spacecraft.

Since then, our operations team completed all initial system activations and checkouts, confirming the vehicle is in a power positive and thermally stable state with no major anomalies observed at this time.
We completed this phase of the mission ahead of schedule. Next up we will be powering up and downlinking data for all payloads aboard the Gravitas spacecraft in support of our customers and partners while continuing to put the spacecraft through its paces.
As we noted ahead of launch: The goal of this mission is to experiment and push our systems to the limit to inform future missions. I look forward to sharing more on our successes and challenges as the mission proceeds.

Первый уровень пройден.

Теперь второй уровень.

Karan Kunjur, Co-Founder and CEO К2 Space 18:54 UTC · Apr 8, 2026
I'm very proud to share that the team К2 Space  has achieved Tier 2 Mission Success for Gravitas!

Over the past week, we've:

• Powered on our payloads
• Activated our high power propulsion system and fired the thruster
• Completed testing of our software system, including a software update

With all of the satellite bus systems demonstrated and checked out, we will be transitioning to sustaining operations for the rest of the mission.

This includes continuing our payload demonstrations while pushing the satellite bus systems to the limit to learn as much as possible for future missions.

(And yes, this photo is real. Our thruster firing on orbit.)
