CLEAR Debris Removal Mission Reaches PDR Maturity ClearSpace has announced that its CLEAR Mission has achieved Preliminary Design Review (PDR) maturity, marking a significant advancement in the collective aim of making our space operations more sustainable. The CLEAR Mission aims to use ClearSpace’s robotic capture system to safely remove two dead, washing-machine-sized, UK satellites from orbit, mitigating the risk that these pieces of space debris pose to other space operations.

More than 50 new Space Debris were generated by China’s launch of 18 G60 satellites on August 6th for its Thousand Sails mega constellation. So we can expect how many debris will be generated after launch more than thousand satellites in the coming two years!

A case study very relevant to space activities in Australia and New Zealand, both commercial and academic. It is worth noting the combination of HBK LDS shakers, HBK acceleromters, and HBK data acquisition systems beyond shaker controllers. #vibrations #space #NVMS

Discover COMSPOC's innovative Orbit Determination Space Situational Awareness (ODSSA) solution, designed to revolutionize space situational awareness by enabling precise maneuver reconstruction of non-cooperative Resident Space Objects (RSOs). With ODSSA, you can quickly decipher complex orbital dynamics, address observation discrepancies, and maintain accurate tracking of space assets. This tool empowers operations with detailed insights into spacecraft missions and intents, enhancing decision-making and strategic planning in the evolving space environment. 🚀🖥️ 📊 Explore how ODSSA can transform your space situational awareness capabilities: https://lnkd.in/ejb_A_cS #SpaceSituationalAwareness #SpaceSecurity #SpaceTech #Space

How many satellites are in Space now? As of January 2022, there are more than 4,850 satellites orbiting Earth, with 61% of them belonging to the United States. Additionally, an estimated 8,261 satellites are currently in orbit, representing an 11.84% increase from April 2021.

Satellite Evolution magazine interviewed Space Flight Laboratory’s (SFL) Director, Dr. Robert E. Zee, for its July issue. Among the many topics covered are the organization’s Microspace approach to developing smaller satellites, a look at some of the barrier-breaking missions SFL has completed, and a preview of upcoming missions. The article, entitled “Building Smaller Satellites That Work the First Time” details SFL’s position as a global provider of quality, reliable and cost-effective smaller satellites. https://lnkd.in/gzBjw5uW

Discover our Number of Encounters Assessment Tool (NEAT), a cutting-edge tool designed to assess the long-term encounter rate between any and all pairs of satellites. 🛰️ Newly updated to include an increase in space population, NEAT offers sophisticated assessments of potential collisions in space, allowing users to adjust key parameters such as constellation size, orbit altitude, and inclination. Ideal for satellite operators, it provides critical insights into space traffic dynamics, helping to ensure safe satellite maneuvers. Test out COMSPOC’s NEAT and learn how you can safeguard your #space assets: https://lnkd.in/dJaf5uRH

Happy 5th launchiversary to the RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM)!

“This is really Phase 1 of a massive undertaking at Tomorrow.io in our space program. We’ll eventually deploy these very exotic wide swath scanning precipitation radars, and that will be the first in a series of satellites to fill out a constellation of wide swath precipitation mapping radar satellites that will give a large field of view below the spacecraft of all of the precipitation with very high detail in three-dimensional space.” 🌧️ Richard Roy , Principal Radar Scientist at Tomorrow.io Tomorrow.io's historic satellite launch last year was just the beginning of a constellation that will transform how we can become resilient in the face of volatile weather worldwide. #weathertech #weatherresilience #operationalresilience #spacetech

Rocket Lab successfully launches first Electron mission for 2024 Rocket Lab USA launched its first Electron mission for 2024, a space-junk focused mission for Spire Global and NorthStar Earth & Space. The ‘Four Of A Kind’ mission for Spire’s customer NorthStar successfully launched from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand at 19:34 NZDT / 06:34 UTC. Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket deployed four Space Situational Awareness (SSA) satellites to a 530km circular Earth orbit where the satellites, built and operated by Spire, will monitor near-Earth objects from space to provide timely and precise information for space object detection, tracking, orbit determination, collision avoidance, navigation, and proximity alerts. The mission was Rocket Lab’s 43rd Electron launch overall, bringing the Company’s record of successfully deployed satellites to 176. The mission was the first of a busy launch year for Rocket Lab, with the Company scheduled to launch more in 2024 than any previous year since the Company began missions in 2017. #Launch #Space #ElectronMission #Satellite #EarthOrbit #Rocket https://lnkd.in/dNbWH2_s
