SpaceX launched the 𝟰𝟬𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗻 𝟵 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 last weekend, and Picogrid was there to secure the launch. From a last-minute request for support from the Space Force to deploying our Helios hardware 16 hours later, I am really proud of Jacob Jeffries, Daniel Chirita, and Grey Dillman for pulling it off!
