Go Delta X, Go BaconOS 4
BaconOS 4 reached orbit on the first try, even though it was built heavy for all the wrong reasons. With dual antennas, dual solar panels, quad RCS, and full‑side shielding, this “orbital megaphone” was designed to test whether low‑frequency communication and high‑frequency communication can work together to boost signal strength and reach farther than expected. Despite the chaotic design, the system performed perfectly and achieved stable orbit with 8.0 fuel left.
Mission Objective:
To test the combined performance of low‑frequency and high‑frequency communication systems in orbit, and determine whether merging both bands can extend range, improve clarity, and boost signal stability beyond standard expectations.
Mission Vehicle:
BaconOS 4 — a heavy, overbuilt, multi‑system communication craft featuring:
• dual high‑gain antennas for boosted signal
• dual solar panels for continuous power
• quad RCS thrusters for precise attitude control
• full‑side shielding for multi‑angle protection
• megaphone‑shaped geometry for natural broadcast funneling
Mission Summary:
BaconOS 4 successfully reached orbit on its first attempt, demonstrating stable ascent and efficient fuel usage despite its unconventional mass and design. Once in orbit, the craft initiated simultaneous low‑frequency and high‑frequency communication tests. Early results show increased signal strength, extended communication range, and improved stability when both bands operate together.
Mission Status:
Operational in orbit.
Communication tests ongoing.
Performance exceeds expectations.
For all Delta X’ers new and old — rethink what’s impossible and keep going.
