#space #aerospace #astronautics #astronautics4xploit For centuries humans have been fascinated by the universe and its compositions. The fascination led to the development of revolutionary and disruptive technologies that helped humans to discover what lies in the cosmos and to dig deeper into the deep space. The proliferation of low-cost launch vehicles and the development of innovative and disruptive autonomous rendezvous and docking technologies of small satellites has led to the increase in interest in in-orbit servicing operations. Presently, large spacecraft are being assembled in-orbit via launching of autonomous and smaller units and components. This is unlike before where large spacecraft would have to be assembled on the Earth and then launched into space using large boosters. Examples of In-Orbit Servicing Missions & Technology Demonstrations, developed over the years by space companies, include End-of-Life Services by Astroscale (ELSA), Active Debris Removal by Astroscale (ADRAS), In-situ Debris Environment Analysis OSG1 (IDEA OSG1), Commercial Removal of Debris Demonstration project (CRD2), Cleaning Outer Space Mission, Clearspace-1, and a host of others. The End-of-Life Services by Astroscale (ELSA) program is a spacecraft retrieval service for satellite operators. ELSA-d (demonstration) is the first mission to demonstrate the core technologies necessary for debris docking and removal. It was launched on 22 March 2021. JAXA’s has Commercial Removal of Debris Demonstration (CRD2) mission is being planned to actively remove large debris of Japanese origin in cooperation with private companies. It aims to make tangible progress in international discussions and increase the attractiveness of Japanese companies in the orbital services market.

The focus points are In-Orbit Servicing Missions and In-Orbit Servicing Missions & Technology Demonstrations.

#space #aerospace #astronautics #astronautics4xploit For several decades, space missions, missions to unravel the mystery of the universe and to enhance humans’ quality of life on the Earth and in space, have been invested into. These missions had been majorly launched from the Earth. Based on the high Earth’s gravitational pull, it is very costly to get into the orbit. Rockets launched from the Earth must carry the fuel needed to get to their respective destinations. To ease space transportation, efforts are being channeled towards developing space gas stations' missions that will help the establishment of space gas stations. Over the years, various space gas stations approaches, and technology demonstrations have been put forward. Examples are Orbital Propellant Depot 1970 concept, Orbital propellant depot - Space transportation system of 1971, an evolved propellant depot concept, Astroscale Prototype Servicer for Refueling (APS-R), Spacecraft-Spacecraft Fluid Transfer Depot, and a host of others. The 1970 orbital propellant depot concept involves a Nuclear Shuttle docked to an Orbital Propellant Depot and a Space Shuttle. The Nuclear Shuttle, in either manned or unmanned mode, would deliver payloads to lunar orbit or other destinations then return to Earth orbit for refueling and additional missions. An evolved propellant depot is another proposed concept. It involves starting with Liquid Oxygen (LOX), the heaviest propellant, adding Liquid Hydrogen (LH2) or Hydrocarbons later to increase performance. Depots could be increased in size, adding more tanks or more fuel, as needed. In this video, Astronautics4Xploit presents "Space Gas Stations Missions & Technology Demonstrations: Turning of Space Gas Stations into Reality". The focus points are Space Gas Stations Technology and Space Gas Stations Approaches & Technology Demonstration.

SDA is pleased to announce the awards of two prototype agreements for Tranche 2 Transport Layer (T2TL) – Gamma variant space vehicles. York Space Systems LLC and Tyvak, a Terran Orbital Company will each build and operate 10 T2TL – Gamma variant prototype space vehicles. The firm-fixed-price other transaction authority award covers a total of 20 Gamma variant SVs for a total value of approximately $424 million. This effort will expand the demonstration of advanced tactical satellite communication (TACSATCOM) capabilities through the Tranche 2 timeframe and beyond. T2TL features multiple space vehicle and mission configuration variants, along with related operational demonstrations, procured through a multi-solicitation and multi-vendor acquisition approach.

I'm overflowing with pride for the Vaya Space team, whose remarkable efforts have brought a tactical scale of our revolutionary vortex-hybrid engine to life in an astonishingly short span of less than six months. This groundbreaking achievement showcases the power of innovation, teamwork, and the relentless pursuit of excellence that defines Vaya Space. Our vortex-hybrid engine is a testament to our commitment to pushing the boundaries of space and defense technology. Powered by our proprietary toolsets and algorithmic design tools, this engine has revolutionized our modeling capabilities, allowing us to numerically simulate its performance with unprecedented precision and accuracy that is unprecidented in hybrid rocket engine design. This breakthrough has accelerated our development process, enabling us to bring this groundbreaking technology to fruition in record time. Furthermore, our embrace of additive manufacturing has been instrumental in this success. By 3D printing both engine components and the fuel, we've streamlined manufacturing and reduced production time, allowing us to iterate and refine our design at an unparalleled pace. The successful demonstration of our vortex-hybrid engine marks a significant milestone in defense technology. It's a testament to the unwavering dedication and brilliance of our team, who have once again demonstrated our ability to revolutionize the industry. As we look to the future, we remain committed to harnessing the transformative power of our vortex-hybrid technology to deliver game-changing solutions for the space and defense sector. We're eager to continue our work on developing larger defense applications, where the increased range and capabilities of our engines can be fully realized. #innovation #rocketscience #generativedesign #additivemanufacturing #hybridrocket #advancedmanufacturing #defenseindustry #gamechanger #rapiddeployment #rapidprototyping #rapiddevelopment

Did you know that Andøya Space is not only about rockets going to space?   In 2021, Andøya Space acquired a Diamond DA62 MPP for scientific research, technology demonstrations, maritime surveillance, and various other types of missions.   On International Pilots’ Day, we celebrate the crew operating the aircraft in the skies around Andøya.   Dag Helge Karlsen at Andøya Space explains: ‘It can accommodate four people on board: two pilots for flying the aircraft and two mission specialists who operate the equipment and instruments used for research or testing.’   Learn more about the aircraft and its services here: https://lnkd.in/dG_4ngt3

One of the fun parts of my job with the U.S. Navy is trying to stay ahead of the technology curve, which keeps moving faster every day especially with AI now setting the pace. So in an attempt to stay in front, I thought why not be the first, or at least one of the first, to add an AI-generated song to my Linkedin profile? Let the music begin! https://lnkd.in/gz8W_ENC #usnavy, #knowyourmil, #scienceandtechnology, #researchanddevelopment
