MyALTAIR.com allows site visitors to customize their spacecraft to accommodate an array of mission areas including weather, communications, navigation, single & multi-band imaging, signals collection, earth science, space science and planetary & deep space exploration. The site is designed with the customer in mind, to provide an easy and straightforward interactive experience in visualizing the many mission possibilities our ALTAIR™ platform provides. The idea for the app was inspired by Millennium Space's ever growing customer base, as noted by Natalie Rodriguez, a Spacecraft Systems Engineer and key MyALTAIR.com site developer. "We receive a lot of inquiries from different corners of the space industry and in an effort to help customers generate mission concepts, we wanted to provide an app to enable first-order mission design, highlighting the affordability and performance of our ALTAIR™ bus. We want to allow anyone to be an armchair mission designer to visualize their mission in space, whether it's a mature mission plan or just a concept on a napkin."
Coincident with the rollout of the MyALTAIR.com website, Millennium Space proudly announced the first commercial ALTAIR™ spacecraft is now in production. ALTAIR I further validates DARPA's original SeeMe vision of game-changing affordability and responsiveness, coupled with high performance mission capability – ALTAIR™ leverages Millennium's SeeMe design, taking the next steps to make it a reality..
