Momentus (NASDAQ: MNTS) reported key technical milestones for the Vigoride-7 mission after separation from SpaceX Transporter-16 at ~520 km. The spacecraft powered on, deployed solar arrays, established two-way communications with the San Jose Mission Operations Center, and completed comprehensive bus checks confirming primary and redundant subsystems are operational.
Momentus pressurized the main water-based propulsion tank, activated RCS accumulators for eight redundant thrusters, and used the ACS to damp rotation rates ahead of a planned orbit-lowering maneuver to position Vigoride-7 for payload operations.
Momentus (NASDAQ: MNTS) announced the successful deployment and early commissioning of its Vigoride 7 Orbital Service Vehicle after launch on March 30 aboard SpaceX Transporter-16.
At ~500 km altitude the vehicle deployed 1.6-kW solar arrays, established command uplink and telemetry downlink, and will host 10 government and commercial payloads over coming months while commissioning bus subsystems.
Momentus (NASDAQ: MNTS) announced the successful launch of its Vigoride 7 orbital service vehicle to low‑Earth orbit on SpaceX’s Transporter‑16 mission on March 30, 2026. Vigoride 7 will host 10 government and commercial payloads and conduct advanced demonstrations including autonomous RPO and in‑space assembly.
The mission includes contracts totaling approximately $4.2M with DARPA and $1.9M with SpaceWERX, plus agreements with NASA centers and other partners. Vigoride offers >300 kg payload capacity and up to 3 kW peak onboard power. Vigoride 8 is fully manifested for early 2027.
Momentus (NASDAQ: MNTS) completed relocation to a 61,100‑square‑foot R&D and manufacturing facility at 1762 Automation Parkway, San Jose, on March 25, 2026. The site expands clean‑room space from 4,500 to 16,000 square feet and includes labs, machine shop, robust electrical infrastructure, and a mission operations center. The move nearly quadruples clean‑room capacity and lowers monthly operating costs, enabling scaled production, faster development cycles, and enhanced support for commercial customers and national security programs including Golden Dome and MDA SHIELD. The Silicon Valley location improves supplier, partner, and talent access.
Momentus (NASDAQ: MNTS) was awarded a NASA contract to support the Space Storms Solar Sail Sentinel Demonstration Study using its Vigoride cislunar-capable platform.
The company completed the study and submitted the final report under a 2025 award; NASA may fund a follow-on study or a flight demonstration via the Flight Opportunities program. The proposed sail is 1,652 m² (~17,782 ft², about one-third of a football field) to enable earlier solar wind measurements and improved space-weather warning timelines.
Momentus (NASDAQ: MNTS) delivered its Vigoride Orbital Service Vehicle to Vandenberg ahead of a planned launch on SpaceX Transporter-16, targeted no earlier than late March 2026.
