Solar flare season pushed average transit times on the Sirius corridor up by 11% this quarter. Here is what happened, and what we changed to keep your cargo moving.
By the numbers
| Corridor | Avg. transit | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Sirius ↔ Sol | 3.4 cycles | +11% |
| Vega ↔ Altair | 1.9 cycles | −2% |
| Kepler ↔ Proxima | 5.1 cycles | +4% |
Rerouting through the Vega bypass
From July, shipments booked on the Sirius corridor during flare warnings are rerouted through the
Vega bypass at no extra cost. The route field on shipment events now reports the lane actually
used.
What's next
We are commissioning two additional relay beacons on the Kepler corridor, which should bring transit times back to baseline by the end of Q3.
