Welcome to a special edition of our Changelog! The following new module updates are part of our growing solutions – where you can keep track of your parts, inventory, and build history in one location, visualize timelines and dependencies, and easily manage, analyze, and export your data. This is all part of our goal to help you coordinate and bring multiple teams together. The best part is that everything seamlessly integrates with our core testing and operations platform, empowering your teams to achieve higher levels of efficiency and success! If you're interested in learning more, please contact us.

Also, we’re excited to be hosting Payload’s upcoming webinar, August 9th, discussing "Automation vs. Manual Action in Satellites." In this event, we will discuss operations with satellite companies and dig deeper into how they think about, plan for and execute testing and operations from both a manual and automated perspective. Register and join the conversation!
