In the past, Superior Thread Rolling has discussed the importance of on-time delivery and some strategies that we have to meet our customers’ deadlines. In our latest blog post (linked in the comments), we go over why delivering on time is so important–especially in spacecraft manufacturing. #SpaceCraftManufacturing #ThreadRolling #OnTimeDelivery

Here is all you need to know about ISRO’s Aditya-L1 spacecraft, and why it is placed at the L1 point.

🛸 Flat Satellites: Mainstream of the Future 🛸 The first images from SpaceX's Starlink satellite stack reveal the advantages of flat-shaped satellites, showcasing their high volume efficiency and potential. This design innovation maximizes space within the fairing, enhancing a launcher's capability to deploy more satellites in a single mission. Such efficiency is crucial for the development of "mega-constellations," which must be deployed swiftly to meet operational demands. By allowing rockets to carry more satellites per launch, flat-shaped designs accelerate the path to full constellation deployment. 💡 My Opinion: Flat-shaped satellites offer significant benefits without compromising mission capabilities. While traditional "cube-like" satellites accommodate various subsystem shapes and sizes more flexibly, flat-shaped satellites face height restrictions that can limit subsystem choices. However, the booming space industry is naturally fostering an ecosystem for flat-shaped satellites. Maxar's 300 Series is a prime example of this trend. 🛰 #SpaceInnovation #MegaConstellation #SatelliteDesign #AerospaceEngineering #FlatSat #SpaceX #Maxar #SpaceIndustry
