"Ringing the closing bell at Nasdaq is a wonderful way to end a big week for Momentus that featured some key milestones with the deployment of our first customer satellite in orbit and start of our first Vigoride mission. The mission we launched this week will be an opportunity for us to test our Vigoride Orbital Transfer Vehicle, learn from the experience to improve our service offerings, and help our customers meet their mission objectives.
