GoKawiilAnduril demonstrates infrared satellite sensor that tracks spacecraft in Earth's shadow
Anduril Industries confirmed that its self-funded demo satellite, Anduril-216, successfully used a long-wave infrared sensor to image other spacecraft during Earth's orbital night. The satellite, launched in July on a SpaceX rideshare, orbits at about 590 km and spends roughly a third of each pass in darkness, giving the sensor time to operate with low solar interference.
