Key Highlights
- KID will be ejected into space at an altitude of about 504 km, roughly 108 minutes after PSLV liftoff, and is expected to reenter Earth’s atmosphere after that.
- KID is a reentry capsule developed in just one year by a nine-member engineering team.
- According to Orbital Paradigm, it has three customers: ALATYR, Leibniz Universität Hannover, and one undisclosed client.
- The capsule will not be recovered, as it does not carry a parachute.
- Instead, it will transmit payload data before reentering the atmosphere.
