From creating creamy yogurts to carbonated beverages, mouthfeel plays a key role in product success. But here’s where it gets exciting: in #space, bubbles last longer before they break, offering a unique opportunity to study how bubbles carry taste and influence mouthfeel. This slower process allows for more controlled research, which could lead to innovations in texture and flavor that aren’t possible on Earth. At SCM - Space Commerce Matters, we’re helping companies leverage space research to gain insights into food science and unlock new textures that consumers crave.

🚴♂️🚂 Physics in Action: Bike Stunts on a Moving Train and Space Phenomena 🌌🛰️ Have you ever seen the jaw-dropping trick of a rider jumping ramps while on a moving train? The physics behind it is just as fascinating as the stunt itself! Here’s how it all ties together and even relates to what happens in #Space: 1. 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 The bike moves opposite to the train’s direction, but both are still moving in the same overall frame of reference. This is an example of relative motion—just like how astronauts on the ISS seem to float. In reality, the ISS is falling toward Earth but because it’s moving so fast (around 28,000 km/h!), it keeps missing Earth, creating that floating sensation we associate with zero gravity. 2. 𝐈𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦 The rider’s momentum and the train’s momentum combine in unique ways. The same principle applies in space. When astronauts push off a surface in the ISS, they keep floating due to inertia since there’s no air resistance to slow them down—much like how the rider keeps moving even after launching off the ramp. 3. 𝐀𝐢𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐝 In the bike stunt, wind created by the train's speed can affect the jump. In space, however, there is no air—no resistance at all! This is why satellites, once in motion, can maintain their speed for extended periods without slowing down. 4. 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 The train and its ramps are earth-bound, but the ISS orbits Earth due to a delicate balance of centripetal force. The Earth’s gravity pulls it inward while its high speed keeps it in a constant free-fall, avoiding a crash. This is similar to how a rider maintains control in mid-air by balancing forces.

From powering satellites to spacecraft, lithium-based batteries are the backbone of energy storage in space. But how can space tech improve lithium production on Earth? 🌍 In space, microgravity environments allow for precise material crystallization, which could potentially optimize lithium refinement processes. Research conducted in space could lead to breakthroughs in how we produce lithium, making the extraction and refining processes more efficient and eco-friendly. 🚀 On the flip side, space missions drive the need for new battery solutions. Alternatives like solid-state batteries, sodium-ion batteries, or even hydrogen fuel cells are gaining attention, offering lighter, more durable, and more efficient energy sources. These advancements, nurtured in the demanding conditions of space, can directly impact future lithium alternatives here on Earth. As the world moves towards electrification and cleaner energy, space technology is playing a pivotal role in pushing lithium and its alternatives to new frontiers. 🌌 At SCM - Space Commerce Matters, we are committed to supporting these innovations and shaping a sustainable future both on Earth and beyond! 📩 Contact us for more information about your company's adoption of a #Space strategy.

From mining lunar materials to building infrastructure, robots are perfectly suited for the harsh conditions of space—pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. GITAI is at the forefront of this movement with its lunar robotic rover, R1. This rover will handle critical tasks like exploration, mining, and inspection on the moon’s surface. 🌕 They’re also building a specialized robotic arm, designed to tackle complex space jobs—starting with tests on the International Space Station (ISS)! 🛰️ The potential of in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) is enormous. By extracting key resources like oxygen, water, and building materials directly from the moon, ISRU could save an estimated $100 million per ton in transport costs from Earth. This is the future of sustainable space exploration—and it’s happening now. At SCM - Space Commerce Matters we’re the gateway between Earth and space. We help terrestrial companies, like robotics firms, explore the incredible commercial opportunities that space offers.

Today, the space industry is at a similar inflection point. Just as the internet was once niche, Space is still seen by many as "non-traditional" for commercial use. But there's a critical point both Bezos and the Space sector share: justification and efficiency are key. Space needs to prove its unique advantages over terrestrial solutions. 🚀 Here are some powerful examples where space outshines Earth-bound methods: 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲: Drug crystallization happens faster and with higher purity in space, revolutionizing treatments for diseases like cancer. 𝐒𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The vacuum and microgravity of space enable the creation of higher-quality materials with fewer impurities. 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬: Manufacturing aerogels, ceramics, and alloys in space opens doors to new processes that simply aren’t possible in Earth-based labs. Just like Bezos started with the "first best" product for his platform, space commerce must focus on these unique use cases that traditional Earth-based methods can’t match. At SCM - Space Commerce Matters, we help companies identify that kind of "first best" product for sustainable and scalable commercialization of Space 🌍🚀 #SpaceCommerce #NewFrontiers #InnovationInSpace
