JoeySat

JoeySat is a technology demonstrator satellite developed by the European Space Agency (ESA), the UK Space Agency (UKSA), and Eutelsat OneWeb. During its two-year primary mission between 2023 and 2025, the satellite has successfully demonstrated various innovative technologies for communication satellites including "beam-hopping", where the satellite can swiftly switch its coverage between different locations, responding rapidly to changes in demand. JoeySat was launched on 20 May 2023 on a Falcon 9 rocket.
