NASA's Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) mission has successfully completed its development and commissioning phase and moved into the operations phase. The constellation of eight microsatellites--the first engineered and fabricated by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI)--has now started on-orbit instrument calibration and validation and is on track to collect data for the 2017 hurricane season.
