    Excerpt:

    Northwood Space, the startup founded by former Disney star Bridgit Mendler, nailed a key test last week when its ground station unit successfully connected with orbiting Planet Labs satellites.

    Operating from Planet’s ground station in Maddock, North Dakota, the team successfully showed the startup’s novel phased-array antenna system can transmit data to and from satellites on orbit. This first test focused on telemetry and tasking of the satellites, and achieved bidirectional links over five satellite passes.

    “The purpose of what we’re doing is building a more performant ground network that can help industrialize the space industry,” Mendler said in a recent interview. “We see connectivity as really a fundamental pillar of expanding space.”
