Kodiak Star – The Mission, the Challenges, the Success: A Look at Lesson’s Learned from the First Orbital Flight from Alaska
The Kodiak Star was a fast paced mission utilizing a number of first flight items including a payload upper deck, a light band separation system, and a method of deploying multiple payloads from the launch vehicle. The total integration time for this mission was 10-months from a novel remote launch...
