Capella Seeks OK for Q2 EESS Mission

Capella Space, with seven other Earth Exploration Satellite Service non-geostationary orbit satellites in space, hopes to launch another in Q2, it said in an FCC International Bureau application filed Wednesday. Capella-9, like the other Capella satellites, would be "about the size of a household washing machine," it said, saying its downlinks would be in the X band and it has a coordination agreement with NASA, the Air Force and other federal agencies.
