Ghost-5, a commercial technology demonstration satellite testing compact sensor and communications hardware for future small-satellite constellations, one of several similarly-named satellites from the same operator testing incremental hardware improvements across successive missions. Ghost satellites from this operator have followed a steady incremental cadence, each one validating slightly different hardware improvements before the next launch in the series.
