December 2022 Newsletter – ORCASat Launch

Find out more about Rainhouse and the ORCASat project below! On November 26th, 2022 at 11:20AM PST NASA launched the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, which contained the UVic student-designed, Optical Reference Calibration Satellite (ORCASat). Rainhouse was approached by the UVic Satellite Design team early on for support in engineering and manufacturing. Rainhouse manufactured the spacecraft rail panels, integrating sphere fronts, and several other minor components for the ORCASat. Since Rainhouse loves giving back to the community there was no hesitation to assist the UVic Satellite Design team with their ORCASat.
