We are always happy when we meet a person who pivots to the SpaceTech sector or invests in SpaceTech startups. Today, we'd like to share with you an inspiring story of Mark Shmulevich, the Managing partner of Aloniq, a DeepTech early stage VC which started investing in SpaceTech companies. They have already backed Xona Space Systems and BioOrbit and plan to expand their portfolio. Check out the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/drwrxTMn

Sustainability is a very important topic for the aerospace sector. A single Starship launch emits as much carbon dioxide as 583 cars in the United States do in a year. Despite this, the current contribution of all rocket launches to greenhouse gas emissions is only about 0.00001%. In comparison, the contribution of airlines is 2.4%. Today, Dr. Ivan Khrapach, the co-founder of Space Ambition, has published an article covering this topic. We hope you find it useful! https://lnkd.in/dh6J3SKd

You can often hear the phrase, “It’s not rocket science.” This typically means that something isn’t as difficult or complex as rocket science. We have aerospace engineers and physicists in our team. Believe us, rocket science is not that sophisticated compared to quantum mechanics, relativity, or string theory. To prove this, the co-founder of Space Ambition, Marat Airapetian, has published an article today where he explains the basics of how rockets work in simple terms. We hope you enjoy it. By the way, we often meet people passionate about contributing to the SpaceTech sector who are scared off by the belief that the sector is too complicated for a person to do something without an aerospace background. At Space Ambition, we are sure this prejudice is greatly exaggerated. Don’t be afraid of rocket science and follow your dreams! https://lnkd.in/dW3599p9
