The world's first commercial deep space astronomy telescope is set to search for stars that could host habitable exoplanets in their orbits.
The Mauve telescope, developed by London-headquartered start-up Blue Skies Space, is the size of a small suitcase and carries an off-the-shelf ultraviolet spectrometer modified to monitor flaring stars. It is one of the payloads that will launch on SpaceX's upcoming Transporter-15 mission, currently set for no earlier than November 2025.
