🆕 💥 In recent years, the #commercialization of space has emerged, with private companies driving innovation and exploration in the #upstream as well as the #downstream space sector. This paradigm shift brings about new challenges and opportunities for space education in Europe. This 11th information session aims to explore the readiness of European space education to embrace the #commercialization of #space. We will delve into key questions, such as Curriculum Adaptation; Industry Collaboration; #Skill Development; Ethical Considerations. Registration & Agenda 🔻

🚀 ICYMI: Axiom Space successfully completed their #Ax3 mission, sending three astronauts on a research mission to the ISS. This successful mission is the latest accomplishment for Axiom as they continue establishing themselves as a leading force in the new era of space exploration. They have bold plans in their pipeline including ⬇️ 🛰️ Building the first commercial space station for research, manufacturing, and more. 👩🚀 Developing a next-gen spacesuit for astronauts to wear on future missions back to the moon. Are you looking forward to seeing what Axiom Space does next?

Axiom Space is the only company today where you can buy a commercial ticket to space and then fly to the International Space Station on board SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft. It will be an expensive ticket, but you will get what you will've paid for. Probably much more. You can go as a Private Astronaut, or a National Astronaut (if your country is willing to pay for your ticket), or as a Research Astronaut (if you find a company interested to fund you in exchange for running some experiments in space, or even on you). Talk to Axiom Space or your nearest space travel agent. Incidentally, tomorrow, on Friday, February 9th, at 13:30 UTC (Dublin time) Axiom Space 3rd commercial space mission with 3 National Astronauts from Sweden, Italy and Turkey will be returning back to Earth. You could watch live stream on the Axiom Space webpage, from 12:25pm; or SpaceX webpage, or TheLaunchPad Youtube channel. Image (c) Pexels & SpaceX

#Ax3 has undocked from the International Space Station. 09:20 am ET. The #Ax3 crew has a 47-hour ride before splashdown in Daytona Beach, FL. Splashdown is anticipated to take place no earlier than February 9th at 08:30 am ET. Live coverage will begin at 07:25 am ET. Watch live at https://axiom.space/live. Ax-3 mission was launched to the International Space Station on January 18, 2024. The mission is led by Axiom Space’s chief astronaut Michael López-Alegría who is joined by mission pilot Walter Villadei of Italy; Türkiye's first astronaut, Alper Gezeravcı; and European Space Agency - ESA astronaut Marcus Wandt of Sweden.

In 7 days we hopefully have lift-off 🤞 and the first European Space Agency - ESA Project Astronaut Marcus Wandt from Sweden 🇸🇪 will start his Muninn mission! 🚀 He will travel to the International Space Station on Axiom Mission 3 and stay there for 2 weeks to conduct various research activities in microgravity 🔬 Marcus is the first European astronaut 👨🚀 to fly on a commercial human spaceflight opportunity with Axiom Space. Theres no need to point out the stunning fast-track of this mission, being announced in September 2023 only. Although Im not involved in the support of this mission, I can say that the commitment and dedication I witness at the European Astronaut Center to guarantee a successful mission is truly inspiring 💪 From a scientific POV Marcus will help us to better understand the effect of the architectural settings of our surrounding on our cognitive performance 🧠 and stress levels 🤯 Or the potential and constraints of virtual reality 😎 on board astronaut training. Or the nature of low temperature plasma and if the sleep quality 😴 in microgravity is compromised…and so much more! Big shout out to Marcus and the whole team behind him, dedicating their energy to a successful space mission! 💙 𝐆𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐬, 𝐠𝐨 𝐌𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐧!

Ye Guangfu: 1st Chinese Astronaut to Spend 340+ Days on China Space Station FriendsofNASA.org: At the beginning of October 2024, Shenzhou-18 crew member, Ye Guangfu, became the first Chinese astronaut to spend over 340 days at China's orbiting space station. He is now looking forward to new records in space endurance. Ye Guangfu, and two other astronauts, Li Cong and Li Guangsu, were sent to China's Tiangong space station aboard their Shenzhou-18 crew spacecraft on April 25, 2024. Ye said that such an achievement not only marks a personal triumph, but also signifies the progress of China's space program as it ventures into an era of expansion in space exploration. "I'm fortunate enough to witness such a great era, and I believe the record for in-orbit duration will be broken soon. As the representatives of the countless strivers and climbers in China's space endeavors, we remain steadfast in our mission and responsibility for China's manned space missions. As the Chinese space station has now entered the phase of operation and development, I'm confident that more 'footprints' of Chinese astronauts will be left in space in the future," said Ye. The three crew members are scheduled to return to Earth later this month.

For those who aren't space-inclined: an "orbital inclination" is the direction and angle that a satellite or spacecraft is following when it's flying around the Earth. (Or Moon, or Mars, or whatever.) They don't just go east to west above the equator! They can have polar orbits (north to south or vice versa), angled orbits, or any number of other kinds of orbits. Starlink wouldn't work if that wasn't the case, as they need to be in all different kinds of orbits in order to be able to fly over your house and catch you yelling about your teammates in League of Legends. the location of Spaceport Nova Scotia is really good for polar orbits and inclined orbits, which is going to be really important for Canadians as those are the ones that often do the best job of over-flying Canada. but they're also useful for a ton of other things, because there's a lot more to choosing an orbit then how easy it is to get there from Florida. Yes, you don't need quite as much fuel to launch from near the equator, but there are other factors involved.

At the Luxembourg Space Resources Week, Lunar Outpost EU unveiled LUX-Thermal, an innovative autonomous system for thermal management. Engineered to provide both electrical and thermal energy on-demand, LUX-Thermal allows rovers and other systems to withstand the unforgiving conditions of the lunar night. Extending mission lifetimes is a critical component of creating a sustainable presence on the Moon. Technologies like LUX-Thermal will help to do just that by providing customers and in-house systems with energy – for example, helping our LTV safely carry astronauts and scientific payloads for long duration missions. At Lunar Outpost, we’re committed to bringing together cutting-edge technology from around the world to develop the highest quality space technology and services. #TheNextLeap #LunarOutpost #LunarDawn #Artemis #SpaceTech #Moon European Space Resources Innovation Centre (ESRIC), Luxembourg Space Agency, European Space Agency - ESA, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Resilience Beyond Limits: Redefining Physical Demands in the Space Industry 🌌 Being an astronaut is one of the most physically demanding roles imaginable. It requires enduring extreme conditions, operating in zero gravity, and performing complex tasks under intense pressure. The resilience required is immense, and now, we're witnessing individuals with physical disabilities stepping up to meet this challenge head-on. From @NASA's Artemis missions aiming to send the first woman, the first person of color, and the first non-American to the Moon, to the @European Space Agency (ESA) launching the world's first parastronaut program, we are witnessing a revolution. In 2021, the @European Space Agency launched the groundbreaking Parastronaut Feasibility Project, selecting astronauts with disabilities to join the ranks. This innovative study is set to transform technology, training, and spacecraft design to support a wider range of physical abilities, revolutionizing our understanding of disability in space. Building a future in space shared by all is at the core of our mission at Via Space Holdings. Witnessing the industry’s bold steps towards reshaping societal norms and fostering inclusivity is truly a new dawn of hope. 🌠 #Space #Universe #SpaceEconomy #SpaceExploration #Innovation #Investment #Diversity #Inclusion #Future #NewSpace #InvestmentReimagined www.viaspaceholdings.com Source: https://lnkd.in/gkV5c-qF
