During Victus Nox, Millennium Space has 60 hours to transport a satellite to Firefly Aerospace, which in turn must launch the satellite in under 24 hours.
“The U.S. Space Force’s vision to quickly launch an asset in response to dynamic changes in space is a critical capability for our national security,” said Firefly Aerospace CEO Bill Weber in a statement emailed to Gizmodo. “The importance of this mission for the Space Force and our country has been one of the motivating factors for our team to rapidly innovate, test, integrate, and stand ready for the 24-hour call up.
for adding the payload to the rocket, and on April 12, the company completed a static fire test of the rocket, according to Schnautz.“We’re now completing the final readiness milestones for the build-up phase before we enter the stand-by phase and wait for activation, ” Schautz told Gizmodo. “Firefly’s rapid-assembly manufacturing capabilities across the organization allows the team to accelerate Alpha production and support on-demand launch timelines.”
Until then, we must all wait in anticipation. While Victus Nox is serving as a blueprint for bolstering national security from the threat of a damaged or destroyed satellite, the applications of a successful demonstration of tactically responsive space could pave the way for compressed launch windows in both private and publicly funded space agencies.
