Overview


WARP-01 was Warpspace's first satellite. The company signed a contract to deploy a satellite from the ISS's Kibo Module with Space BD on 24 August 2018.[4] Inside the satellite were several wedding memorial plaques, which were sent to space as part of a 'space bridal service'.[5] At the time the service was first announced in July 2018,[6][7] media reports said that astronauts staying on the ISS were to take photographs of the satellite during its deployment.[8] WARP-01 was unveiled during an event in Tsukuba city in February 2020.[9] WARP-01 was launched and carried to space on board Cygnus NG-15. WARP-01 tested a radiation sensor, which was used to monitor the radiation environment in low Earth orbit.[5]

WARP-01 decayed from orbit on 1 May 2022.[10]
