šĀ Milestone Achieved on the Road to Venus!
At the end of May,Ā SpaceAMĀ successfully completed critical 20 and 30 metre calibration drop tests for ourĀ LEVL probesā a major step forward in our mission to explore Venus.
These tests mark a key moment ahead of shipping our first prototypes to the U.S. The probes were weighted to match the final payload mass, even though the scientific sensors are still in development.
The results? Proof thatĀ SpaceAM's LEVL probes can achieve stable, auto-rotating slow descent ā without parachutes or propulsion.Ā This breakthrough enables anĀ ultra-lightweight design, ideal for harsh planetary environments.
Each LEVL probe, even when fully equipped, weighs justĀ 30 gramsĀ and is capable of transmitting scientific data back to a mothership and then an orbiter.
Weāre proud of the progress and excited about whatās next. šš°ļø
