Space Force plans to purchase commercial space capabilities - Federal News Network The Space Force is seeking to integrate commercial innovation into Space Domain Awareness. The Space Force has created several initiatives to achieve this goal, including the Space Domain Awareness Marketplace, the SSC Front Door, and SpaceWERX. The Space Force is also looking to concentrate on Space Domain Awareness (SDA) and move away from the tracking and conjunction assessment of objects in space, especially as the majority of objects in orbit are increasingly commercially owned and operated . The Space Force has issued several requests for information, requests for proposal, and sources sought notices for networking capabilities in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and quantum for cyber defense to fulfill the DoD great power strategic competition initiatives. These initiatives aim to develop a tactically responsive space capability that can rapidly detect, warn, characterize, attribute, and predict threats to national, allied, and commercial space systems. What are some other storage solutions for big data? Space Force is looking to leverage data gathered by the Department of Commerce (DoC) to enhance its own efforts to improve space domain awareness (SDA). The DoC is gearing up a new space tracking system to help commercial satellite operators avoid on-orbit smashups. The Space Force will be looking to see if it can leverage data gathered by DoC to enhance its own efforts to improve SDA Data lake storage is a storage solution that can cater to the needs of data scientists, engineers, and traditional data warehouse professionals. It is an open standards-based storage solution that can store and process large amounts of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data in its native format. The Space Force has issued several requests for information, requests for proposal, and sources sought notices for networking capabilities in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and quantum for cyber defense. These initiatives aim to develop a tactically responsive space capability that can rapidly detect, warn, characterize, attribute, and predict threats to national security, U.S. Joint and Allied forces, and commercial space systems. The DoD great power strategic competition initiatives are driving these efforts.

#ApolloAccelerator cohort 2 is planning an integrated test to detect the SpaceX Transporter-10 launch, then rapidly search and reacquire the True Anomaly Jackal spacecraft. Once these commercial #SDA providers gain custody, they will then evaluate target stability and photometry to classify them as payload, rocket body, or debris. Goal: fully automated, faster than Space Surveillance Network, fully not-classified. Image shows these companies working together to solve National Space Defense Center (NSDC) problems.

Sidus Space's cutting-edge 3D hybrid satellite 'LizzieSat' ready for launch Sidus Space announces the successful completion of launch processing of LizzieSat™ at the Astrotech Space Operations facility at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The Sidus team executed final steps in launch processing of LizzieSat™, including mating the satellite to the separation system and the launch vehicle adapter, which allows for mounting to SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket. LizzieSat™ has been turned over to SpaceX and is ready for launch on the Transporter-10 mission which is targeted for no earlier than March 2024. Fully integrated into the satellite is the Sidus FeatherEdge AI platform which allows for advanced onboard system processing from space-based data sensors. Following launch, Sidus expects to continue to expand both military and commercial customer bases to provide customized intelligence for multiple industries including defense, agriculture, maritime, and oil and gas. #Space #Launch #Satellite #LizzieSat #Technology https://lnkd.in/ga_mVVQy

Firefly Aerospace has recently partnered with the Pentagon's commercial technology arm (DIU) to explore the potential of their Elytra orbital vehicle for missions beyond geosynchronous Earth orbit. This collaboration supports DIU's Sinequone project, which strives to provide cost-effective and responsive access to cislunar space through launch and orbital transfer services. According to Nathan Gapp, DIU program manager, this “will enable the government to evaluate the technical feasibility and operational effectiveness of the company’s responsive launch and delivery capabilities,”. Following the study the aim is for Firefly to deliver three to six orbital vehicles for one or more launches to orbits in cislunar space. #SpaceExploration #InnovationInSpace #Aerospace https://bit.ly/3TUIa3G

Did you know. a launch vehicle must accelerate its spacecraft payload to a minimum velocity of 28,000 kmph to reach Earth’s orbit which is roughly 25 times the speed of sound? 🌌 Currently launchers with the best recent records have a reliability rate between 95% to 99%. 🚀 The space launch vehicle service providers work with satellite manufacturers, space agencies, and other customers to integrate payloads onto the rockets. 🛰️ The advent of private space companies and the increasing commercialization of space activities are some of the key factors driving the growth of space launch services. 📈 By 2030 space launch vehicle service market will be valued at US$ 18 Billion. 💲 To know more about the future of space launch vehicle service?

Terran Orbital Corporation awarded a $15.2 million contract from the US Space Force Terran Orbital Corporation announced it was awarded a $15.2 million contract to supply Ambassador Class satellite platforms complete with solar arrays and support equipment to the Air Force Research Laboratory AFRL. The contract, managed through Axient Corporation, will integrate payloads onto these ESPA-Grande size space vehicle platforms to support specific United States Space Force missions.  Delivery is planned in the 4th quarter of 2024. “These platforms are based on Terran Orbital’s commercial off-the-shelf Ambassador platform, similar to those provided for the Space Development Agency’s Tranche 1 Transport Layer satellites being delivered by Lockheed Martin,” said Marc Bell, Terran Orbital’s Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer. “Demonstrating Terran Orbital’s commitment to Responsive Space, these space vehicles will be delivered off Terran Orbital’s production line in less than twelve months,” Bell added. #TerranOrbital #SpaceForce #AFRL #Axient #Award #Satellite #Space https://lnkd.in/e_NREykg
