AEROS-MH1 satellite is orbiting Earth to study ocean health

Four years of intensive research and technological development resulted in the second-ever Portuguese satellite launched into space, the AEROS-MH1, 30 years after the first satellite. This achievement was possible due to the multinational academic-industry collaboration established within the MIT Portugal Program’s Flagship project AEROS Constellation.   The AEROS-MH1 was now featured in an MIT News article.
