It was an incredible experience to watch the SpaceX Twilight mission launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base on January 11, 2026! I will write more, but the most important news is that Pandora has been successfully deployed. Orbital altitude is even better than aimed for, which could further extend mission lifetime. BlackCat CubeSat and SPARCS shared the same ride and were also successfully deployed.
Huge congratulations to everyone involved – amazing to see Pandora, BlackCat and SPARCS in orbit after all those years of hard work! I am excited to see the unique science they will provide.
More to come…
