Momentus Awarded NASA Contract to Design Solar Sail Demonstration Mission
Momentus (MNTS) has been awarded a NASA contract to support the Space Storms Solar Sail Sentinel Demonstration Study for a potential mission based on the cislunar-capable Vigoride spacecraft platform.
Momentus recently completed this study and submitted the final report to NASA under the contract awarded in 2025.
Following a review of the study results, NASA may consider awarding a follow-on contract to conduct further study or a flight demonstration of the solar sail through the Flight Opportunities program, managed at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California.
