In November last year, Etco Space launched its first satellite, Aman-1, entering orbit from Space Launch Complex 4E in Vandenberg, California, US.
The satellite set off on its historic mission aboard the Falcon 9, the first orbital class rocket capable of flight.
The launch of Aman-1, by SpaceX, included CubeSats and MicroSats for a variety of commercial and government customers, Transporter 9 lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, US, placing the satellites into a 500 km Orbit.
