Sept. 28, 2018, TEMPEST-D and RainCube overflew Typhoon Trami < 5 minutes apart
TEMPEST-D + RainCube + CYGNSS winds
Trami observed shortly after it had weakened from Cat 5 to Cat 2

What We’re Doing Next
Evolution
Changing how we do business -- more agile, more enterprising and more partnership engagement:
• Pilot projects and demos
• Joint Venture
• Industry and Science Studies (SounderSat BAA)
• Transition to common ground services

Planning for the Future• Evolving to a more integrated, adaptable, and affordable portfolio while responding
to changing technology, emerging partnerships and evolving requirements
• Why start now?• 10-15+ year development timeline for space assets• Current constellation phases out 2026-2035
