#newspace friends: It's a Monday. We could use a pick me up. ☕ Tell us your worst (best) space puns. 🤣 We'll start: What do you get when you don't win a space talent contest? A constellation prize. 😎 #DCUBED #DCUBEDspace #spacetech #spaceindustry

🦾✨ "May the Fourth Be With You" from Alpine Space Ventures! As we celebrate Star Wars Day, let’s imagine investing in the Star Wars universe. Our top pick? The production of R2-D2 units. Originally designed as astromech droids for X-wing fighters, R2-D2 exemplifies a versatile space technology with expansive applications both in orbit and on the ground. R2-D2's capabilities range from navigating starships to analyzing data and repairing systems—skills that seamlessly transition to supporting terrestrial industries. This droid's adaptability aligns perfectly with our investment focus at Alpine Space Ventures, where we seek out space-related technologies that support broad applications in connectivity and data solutions across consumer and industry sectors. Just as R2-D2 proved indispensable in myriad settings, we champion innovations that bridge the gap between the cosmos and everyday life on Earth, turning sci-fi into science fact. #MayTheFourthBeWithYou #StarWarsDay #SpaceTech #DeepTech #Venture

Everyone loves a throw back Thursday! Take a look at how far we have come. Originally, QUUB used to be Mini-Cubes, LLC. Mini-Cubes was established in 2018 with the goal of transforming the concept of a 1P PocketQube (pictured on the left) – a tiny satellite small enough to fit in your hand – into a marketable product. Joe Latrell, the CEO of QUUB (Mini-Cubes), along with his team, believed in the idea that almost anyone can access space in today's age. On the right, you can see “Aurora” the 6P PocketQube, a lot larger than the original 1P PocketQube! It is still small enough to be held, though in two hands instead of one. The main difference is that this satellite can adjust its course, as well as have a greater flexibility! #SpaceExploration #Aerospace #Space #quubspace #quubdata

The return of LarioSpace, the international event showcasing Italian innovations and technologies in the New Space Economy, is set to take place on April 23rd and 24th at the Centro Spaziale del Lario, Telespazio‘s satellite telecommunications facility located in Gera Lario near Lake Como. The event is organized by Involve Space, an innovative startup offering launch services with stratospheric balloons. With support from Takeoff Accelerator, Italy’s first accelerator dedicated to the aerospace sector, the event has also garnered support from the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI) and the Regione Lombardia. As Space Voyaging we are Media Partner of the event for this edition, continuing a positive collaboration started in 2023 with the first edition.

More good news out of the LBC. Innovative companies come to the City of Long Beach to create and be part of a new aerospace entrepreneurial ecosystem. Great job Mayor Rex Richardson, Deputy Mayor of Economic Development, Lucius Martin and the City's Economic Development team headed by Economic Development Director, Bo Martinez for their great work, attracting new businesses to the LBC. For those nerds that are curious what makes Rocket Lab's so different, (full disclosure, the following is an AI generated summary.) "Rocket Lab's Electron stands out in the small satellite launch market due to its lightweight design and innovative Rutherford engines, which are the first electric-pump-fed engines for an orbital-class rocket. Compared to other small-lift launch vehicles, Electron is the third most launched in history, offering reliable and frequent access to space. Its use of liquid oxygen (LOx) and rocket-grade kerosene (RP-1) as propellants also contributes to its efficiency and performance." #SpaceBeach, #entrepreneurship, #entrepreneurialecosystem, #startups The Aerospace Corporation Space Force Association GE Aerospace Space Command AU Honeywell Aerospace Technologies Air & Space Forces Association NADDSO (National Association of Drone Developers & Space Organizations) Space Business Association Start-Ups Army Space Professionals Association The Corps Chapter Southeast European Space Association (SESA) GKN Aerospace Aerospace Industries Association Aerospace, Security and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD) Aerospace Industry Association of Michigan (AIAM) Aerospace Engineering Association, IIT Madras ACA /Aerospace Cluster Association (HUKD) Aerospace Industries Association of the Philippines Orion Aerospace Association

The ONLY WAY we conquer space and space travel - is defeating Gravity. A few seconds into this reel - you'll see another #CTPcraft 'C-modulate' into frame. CeFM is 'how' FTL #spacetravel is achieved. 'CTP' is 'how' we go next level. (https://bit.ly/3ODVEOk) #UFOs/#UAPs: #CTPtech we refer to as #CTPcraft; CTP = 'next century' science. #newscience #future #futuretravel #futurespace #ingenity #heiroftesla #CTPSci #spaceeconomy #newspace #newspaceecomony #spacecapital #nextbigthing
