This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating the three year launch-anniversary of Flock 3p. It was February 15, 2017 in India (and February 14 in San Francisco) when this flock soared to the heavens on the PSLV rocket and spread their solar-powered wings. My how time flies (in space)!

Not to get all lovey-dovey, but there are so many good things to say about how far we’ve come since that auspicious beginning. First of all, there were 88 Doves on that rocket, our largest launch ever. And we still hold the record for most satellites launched on a single rocket, which is pretty cool.

Because of you, Flock 3p, we were able to achieve our Mission 1: imaging the whole Earth daily. And while some of your satellites have entered retirement and passed the baton to the newer generations of SuperDove satellites, so many of your Doves don’t look a day over three thousand orbits.
