The Veery program
Meet our satellites.
Veery is our family of small weather satellites. Each mission tests the spacecraft and radar systems we need to measure ocean winds more often.
Veery satellites
In orbit and in development.
Barb
Tests upgraded spacecraft systems and explores measuring ocean wind speed from orbit.
Brendon
Our fifth test satellite uses improved guidance systems to help complete testing in orbit and begin measuring winds.
Veery 0.6
A 3U test satellite developing the radar, pointing control, and communications needed to measure ocean winds.
Veery 0.7
A follow-on CubeSat in the ocean-wind radar pathfinder program.
Veery 0.8
A planned 4U CubeSat continuing the ocean-wind radar pathfinder program.
Veery 0.9
A planned 4U CubeSat continuing the ocean-wind radar pathfinder program.
Veery 1.0
A future flat-panel satellite intended to scale up the ocean-wind radar technology tested by the Veery pathfinders.
Status last updated September 14, 2026. We are still testing the wind-measurement system; contact us about available data.
The mission archive
Past missions.
Ectobius
Tested antennas, radar, radios, navigation sensors, and systems that control where the satellite points.
Orion
A miniature test satellite. Deployment was delayed, and the team never established contact.
Clay
Tested spacecraft systems and communications in orbit, including a connection through the Iridium satellite network.
