Gregoire, a commercial technology demonstration satellite testing compact sensor and communications hardware for future small-satellite missions. Satellites at this scale typically cost a small fraction of a traditional mission, part of the broader shift toward treating orbital testing as routine and disposable rather than a rare, high-stakes event.
