MightySat II Launches

MightySat II was the second phase of a program designed to cut the wait time previously seen as necessary to launch a program from 7 years down to 2 years. It successfully demonstrated that a multi-mission, small satellite program could provide relatively swift on-orbit demonstrations of high payoff space technologies. MightySat II carried ten payloads. The most important was the Fourier Transform Hyperspectral Imager, which illustrated revolutionary spectrometry technology.
