LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2025: After arriving in the United States, the Mauve satellite has been successfully integrated into its deployment pod. The pod will next be transported to the launch site for integration with the launcher.
Mauve is equipped with a 13 cm telescope that will observe hundreds of stars in the Ultraviolet and visible wavelengths. The data from Mauve will address a number of science objectives, including providing a greater understanding of stellar flares, their impact on the habitability of neighbouring exoplanets and the stability of different star types.
