TURION

On 6/12/2023, we launched Droid.001. Today, after approximately 15,698 orbits around Earth and 1,022 successful tasking collects totaling 26,467 images, D1 has officially deorbited.

Behind every successful mission is a room that never looks away. No noise and no guesswork, just teams who have done this before.

Since DROID.001’s deorbiting, we’re continuing our series of sharing some of it's earliest captures. This pass captures COSMOS 2567 (NORAD ID 55978), observed in 2024. Starting with a pre-processed frame, followed by a model attention heat map—refining signal, isolating structure, and identifying the object with high confidence. The final frame confirms COSMOS 2567, closing the loop from detection to characterization. Let us know if you’d like to see more captures like this!

The first liquid-fueled rocket flew 41 feet; today we measure missions in kilometers per second. Hardcore engineering is iterative, often unglamorous, and focused on building the thing that makes the next impossible thing possible. It's been 100 years since Dr. Robert H. Goddard made what we do today possible, what will the next 100 bring? Come make history with us: jobs.ashbyhq.com/turion-space

Another round of enlightening discussions at Space Beach Law Lab! Not only did the Turion team show up in full force, but our very own Ravina Gogna joined the panel discussion on orbital emissions. Huge thanks to all the panelists, organizers, and attendees...and we look forward to seeing you next year!

We’ll be continuing this series in the coming weeks to give you a closer look at life in orbit, seen through hardware and software we designed, built, and put there ourselves, and delivered constantly improving at a fraction of the traditional cost.

Image 3: Final identification confirms the object as COSMOS 1842, NORAD ID #17911, alongside a reference image of the satellite for validation.

Since DROID.001’s deorbiting, we’re opening a new window into its mission. Here’s a technical look at how DROID.001, our first satellite, captured and characterized resident space objects in orbit throughout its life span.

Everything starts with a little revolution...

It’s #WorldEngineeringDay, a global celebration of the engineers solving complex challenges that shape our daily lives. We’re hiring Senior GNC engineers to join us in Boston & Southern California. Come make an impact and build what’s next...

Most people never see this part: the repetition, refinement, and second looks that never make the highlight reel. Spacecraft aren’t just assembled. They’re obsessed over one small detail at a time.

Droid.002 is currently in orbit, and we’re just getting started. In the coming weeks, we'll be sharing more D1 mission data and images...so stay tuned, more LEO and GEO milestones to come.

To every engineer, operator, and teammate who touched Droid.001, congratulations. You built hardware that flew, performed, and completed its mission. That success laid the foundation for everything we’re building now and everything ahead.
