Outpost Mission 1 is a 3U CubeSat developed by Outpost to test systems for their planned reusable satellite.

This satellite does not carry or test reusability features. It will only trial the flight software, avionics, power system, and radiofrequency links that could support future reusable satellites. Mission 0 will have one UHF transceiver for telemetry and command. Further, Mission 0 will have one global positioning system (?GPS?) receiver. The GPS payload will support on-orbit determination and atmospheric and Earth-surface sensing (temperature mapping occultations and precipitation, sea state, wind profile, and ocean current scatterometry).

The satellite was launched on board of ION-SCV 011 in June 2023.
