RROCI-2, a commercial technology demonstration satellite testing compact sensor and communications hardware for future small-satellite missions, part of the broader wave of low-cost technology demonstrators that rideshare launches have made routine over the past several years. Small technology tests like this one rarely make headlines individually, but they quietly validate the specific hardware components that later show up in far more capable operational satellites.
