April 17, 2023 | Raytheon TechnologiesEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Small satellite manufacturer and mission services provider Blue Canyon Technologies, a Raytheon Technologies subsidiary, will design and manufacture three microsatellites to support NASA's Investigation of Convective Updrafts, or INCUS, mission. The INCUS mission – led by Colorado State University and managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory – aims to better understand the complex dynamics of thunderstorms and their impact on Earth's climate and weather models.
Blue Canyon's microsats will fly in tandem coordination, each displaying a dynamic atmospheric radar and dynamic microwave radiometer measuring the atmospheric conditions of Earth.
"BCT's successful science exploration programs and our experience controlling large flexible structures will be key to supporting this critical science mission," said Jeff Schrader, president of Blue Canyon Technologies.
Blue Canyon's work will be performed at its Crescent Constellation Factory located in Lafayette, Colorado.
