JAKARTA Momentus, a space transportation company, also entrusted five satellites on the SpaceX Transporter mission, namely the Sideshareke Orbit Sinkron Matahari (SSO), in mid-November.
Previously, this launch was confirmed to be going well. However, Momentus recently said that three of the five satellites he had entrusted failed to launch. In fact, these satellites are thought to have disappeared.
The momentum cannot confirm the deployment of the remaining three satellites for three other customers. Based on the results of a detailed investigation, the company is not sure the satellites were launched by third parties (SpaceX)," said Momentus, quoted fromSpacenews.
Momentus explained that the three satellites that were missing were AMAN-1 owned by the government of Oman, Jinju's JINJUSAT-1 in South Korea, and CubeSat's Picacho. All of the Momentus satellites SpaceX carries do not use the Vigoride fishing boat.
Before Momentus confirmed that the three satellites were not launched, Lunasonde, the Picacho developer startup, said that the satellites launched on the Transporter mission were already in orbit and operating.
This statement is certainly confusing, especially Lunasonde believes the public that Picacho has installed its main antenna. They said that the placement of the four-meter-long antenna went well.

"Lunasonde is very happy that after the perfect launch, our Picacho satellite is now in orbit," said Lunasonde Founder Jeremiah Pate on LinkedIn. However, Pate provided additional information after the news of his satellite disappeared.
The Lunasonde executive explained that the door to the Picacho spread was open, but the driving plate that was supposed to issue the satellite did not move. Although the Momentus telemetry could get a Picacho signal, they don't know where the satellite is.
"We feel the right thing to do is to assume that the satellite is in orbit and it is our duty to try to find it," Pate said.
