#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking Multistage rockets are capable of attaining escape velocity from Earth and therefore can achieve unlimited maximum altitude. Compared with airbreathing engines, rockets are lightweight and powerful and capable of generating large accelerations. To control their flight, rockets rely on momentum, airfoils, auxiliary reaction engines, gimballed thrust, momentum wheels, deflection of the exhaust stream, propellant flow, spin, or gravity. Rockets for military and recreational uses date back to at least 13th-century China.[3] Significant scientific, interplanetary and industrial use did not occur until the 20th century, when rocketry was the enabling technology for the Space Age, including setting foot on the Moon. Rockets are now used for fireworks, missiles and other weaponry, ejection seats, launch vehicles for artificial satellites, human spaceflight, and space exploration.

Earth’s orbit is becoming too cluttered, putting our access to space at risk. In his Amplify article, Victor Heaulme sees solutions to the growing space waste problem coming first from policy, then technology. Explore technologies for more accurate tracking of space objects of all sizes, monitoring software that automates collision warnings, technology that remotely removes objects in orbit, and more.

Firefly Aerospace has recently partnered with the Pentagon's commercial technology arm (DIU) to explore the potential of their Elytra orbital vehicle for missions beyond geosynchronous Earth orbit. This collaboration supports DIU's Sinequone project, which strives to provide cost-effective and responsive access to cislunar space through launch and orbital transfer services. According to Nathan Gapp, DIU program manager, this “will enable the government to evaluate the technical feasibility and operational effectiveness of the company’s responsive launch and delivery capabilities,”. Following the study the aim is for Firefly to deliver three to six orbital vehicles for one or more launches to orbits in cislunar space. #SpaceExploration #InnovationInSpace #Aerospace https://bit.ly/3TUIa3G

The United States Space Force has set a new record for responsive launch, with the Victus Nox mission launching a satellite into orbit just 37 hours after it was integrated with the rocket. The development of responsive launch capabilities is a critical priority for the Space Force. As the US becomes more and more dependent on space-based assets, it is essential that the Space Force be able to launch satellites quickly and reliably to meet the needs of the warfighter. #innovation #spaceforce #space #engineering

SpaceX is targeting Thursday, April 11, for Falcon 9’s launch of the USSF-62 mission to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The approximate 10-minute launch window opens at 7:25 a.m. PDT, 14:25 UTC, and 16:25 CEST. If needed, a backup opportunity with the same launch window is available on Friday, April 12. This will be the third launch of the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched two Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg Space Force Base. About the USSF-62 mission: WSF-M (Weather System Follow-on-Microwave) is the next-generation operational environmental satellite system for the Department of Defense (DoD) of the United States. It will replace the microwave wavelength weather forecasting capabilities of the DMSP Satellites. Ball Aerospace was selected in late November 2017 as the prime contractor for 2 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) weather satellites with a passive microwave imaging radiometer instrument. It hosted a government-renewable charged particle (ECP) sensor space weather payload developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory. The radiometer leverages the Ball-built Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Microwave Imager (GMI) instrument. The mission will improve weather forecasting over maritime regions by taking global measurements of the atmosphere and ocean surface. After stage separation, the booster of the Falcon 9 rocket will make a flip-maneuver and start a boost-back burn, which will have a duration of about 20 seconds. The booster will then make a landing attempt at LZ-4 (Landing Zone 4) at the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. So, people around the area should expect a sonic boom short before the landing. Flight direction is to the south of Vandenberg, along the coast of California, and weather permitting, it should be very good visible for a long time.

And we have a successful lift off. What to learn more how this can help in your connectivity requirements in the near future. Let me know #Viasat

So according to the space-track.org, we have approximately 10000 active payloads and 16000 Analyst Objects in space at this moment. And out of that SpaceX has almost 6000 active #satellites. Wow, that's huge!! SAIC, United States Space Force #space #satellite #debris #spaceeconomy #spacebusiness #spacetrack

Read COMSPOC’s blog on new paper that was presented at AMOS Conference with never-before-released data which sheds a renewed spotlight on the challenges of maintaining accurate #Space Situational Awareness (SSA) in the presence of #spacecraft maneuvers. Maneuvers present the single greatest source of uncertainty in the new space environment. You’ll also want to review our new evidence that shows that the 2009 Iridium/Cosmos collision could been avoided by combining advanced OD, data fusion, and deep collaboration with spacecraft operators. https://bit.ly/3RIi1Em

"The launch, part of the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) program, will involve tests for 'operating in new orbital regimes,' Space Systems Command disclosed in a release." #elaranova #NSSL #SSC #SpaceForce #USSF #spaceindustry #spacetech #spacetechnology #commercialspace #militaryspace #nationalsecurity #nationaldefense #nationalsecurityspace
