WESTMINSTER, Colo., Feb. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Space, a leading space tech solutions company, is pleased to announce that CAPSTONE™ – the Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment – continues to be "The Little Satellite That Could" as it flies near the Moon over 440 days. The spacecraft is conducting operations in Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit (NRHO); achieving record-long mission operational "up times;" conducting experiments that demonstrate its usefulness for position, navigation, and timing (PNT); and for testing software at the Moon.

Key Points: 
  • CAPSTONE™ continues to be “The Little Satellite That Could” as it flies near the Moon for 445 days.
  • The 112 days were interrupted by a system reset caused by a ground station being unavailable as scheduled.
  • On the positive side, this brief reset meant that the spacecraft operated as designed when it didn't hear from us.
  • Currently, CAPSTONE is using the NASA DSN ground architecture, but other ground segments could be demonstrated.
