What to Expect: OrbitX Rocket Injector Test at DOST-MIRDC on February 7, 2024 Mark your calendars! On February 7, 2024, Philippine space research team OrbitX is conducting a crucial performance test at the Department of Science and Technology - Metals Industry Research and Development Center (DOST-MIRDC). This test, dubbed the "Splash Me Baby," marks a significant milestone in the development of OrbitX's Tamaraw engine, the heart of their future launch vehicles. A. What is the test all about? The "Splash Me Baby" will assess the performance of the initial machined designs of Tamaraw's liquid rocket injector. An injector is a critical component responsible for precisely mixing and atomizing propellants (fuel and oxidizer) inside the engine's combustion chamber, enabling efficient burning and thrust generation. B. Why is this test important? This test is a major step forward for Philippine space ambitions. A successful outcome signifies: * Validation of the injector design: The test data will confirm if the injector design meets the engine's performance requirements, paving the way for further development. * Boost for local manufacturing: The test utilizes locally-machined parts, showcasing the Philippines' growing capability in aerospace manufacturing. * Progress towards Filipino commercial launch vehicle: This test brings OrbitX closer to achieving their goal of developing and launching a Filipino-made renewable liquid space vehicle. C. What to expect on the day? * The test is scheduled for February 7, 2024, at DOST-MIRDC. * While the exact timings haven't been publicly announced, you can expect updates from OrbitX's official channels. * Due to safety regulations, public viewing of the test is restricted. However, OrbitX is likely to share updates, photos, and videos through their social media platforms. * The test itself will involve running water through the injector at increasing pressures and flow rates, simulating the actual operating conditions of the engine. * Researchers and engineers both from OrbitX and DOST-MIRDC will closely monitor the injector's performance, measuring different parameters. * Failures are inevitable but necessary for future design iterations. Therefore, failures are learnings. D. What's next? Following the "Splash Me Baby" test, OrbitX will analyze the data and make any necessary adjustments to the injector design. Successful completion of this test paves the way for more advanced tests using actual propellants, eventually leading to the full engine hotfire test. Be a part of history! Even if you can't witness the test in person, you can follow along online and be a part of this exciting moment in Philippine space history.

Build it in Space: LEO Platforms Unlock Manufacturing Potential In this Deep Dive Q&A series, we'll dig deeper into the topics presented at the bio-med panel at New Worlds '23. How to Build a Commercial Space Bio Company Part 8 of 8 By: Elizabeth Reynolds from Starburst Aerospace EL: In what ways can LEO platforms facilitate the development of new space technologies, such as in-orbit manufacturing and materials science? ER: The benefits of access to the space laboratory environment aren’t limited to biological sciences.Manufacturing semiconductors and other materials in the cold vacuum of space reduces thermal noise (of particular benefit for sensitive electronics and quantum computing components), improves material quality, allows for more pure crystal formation and uniform alloying in metals, enhances superconductivity in some materials, and may lead to the development of completely new materials with unique structures and properties. In-orbit manufacturing not only directly benefits the Earth but makes space exploration more sustainable. Using raw materials sourced from space or recycling the orbital debris already in space reduces the need to launch all materials and components from Earth, reducing cost and environmental impact. In-orbit manufacturing can enable the repair and upgrade of existing satellites and other spacecraft, extending their operational life and reducing the need. We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! Learn more about EarthLight and Starburst below. #SpaceCulture #NewWorlds2023 #NewWorlds #innovation #leo #newspaceeconomy

RKLB Stock Alert: Rocket Lab Breaks Annual Launch Record. Belying the otherwise positive development, shares of Rocket Lab (NASDAQ:RKLB) fell conspicuously on Friday. The red ink followed an announcement earlier this morning that the launch services and space systems specialist successfully deployed a satellite for a Japan-based Earth imaging company. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough for RKLB stock, which dipped sharply, possibly on profitability concerns. According to the accompanying press release, Rocket Lab’s launch represented no. 42 for its Electron rocket. It was also the company’s 10th Electron launch for this year. Notably, this achievement surpassed the company’s prior annual record of nine launches in 2022. As well, the statement emphasized that the Electron retained the title of second-most frequently launched U.S. rocket annually. Further, the mission supported Japan’s Institute for Q-shu Pioneers of Space, Inc. (iQPS). Specifically, the underlying Electron rocket lifted off from the company’s commercial spaceport Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand. Interestingly, the iQPS-SAR-5 satellite is a synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) satellite that will collect high-resolution images of Earth.

APS April 2024 poster paper conclusions. Conclusions 1) zero-active-mass cosmology defines fundamental particle rest mass energy as gravitational binding energy that is used by thrust capacitors. 2) Mostow-Prasad rigid space is the “lattice” that thrust capacitors push against to conserve momentum. 3) in 8-dimensions each of N [electrons] is in its own octonion universe, with its own and separate boson population for up to 35.42 seconds. 4) octonion universes are additive as proven by equation (1). and eq. (1) is, F [N] = N [electrons] x (1/2) x FG [N] = 0.005454 [N] where FG [N] is the gravitational attraction between Planck mass chunks of Aluminum in the Thrust Capacitor plates and N equals 22 trillion electrons producing 0.25 [V/nm].
Testing #quantisedinertia in space is the next step, but it has been tested over two decades successfully, & in peer reviewed papers, on galaxy rotation, wide binary orbits, Proxima Centauri & much more. Recently its capacitor thrust has been seen in four labs, several in vacuum: in California, IVO Ltd, Italy & Plymouth.

Rocket Lab reaches new annual launch record with 10th electron mission this year Rocket Lab USA successfully launched its 42nd Electron rocket and deployed a satellite for Japan-based Earth imaging company the Institute for Q-shu Pioneers of Space, Inc. (iQPS). The mission was Rocket Lab’s 10th Electron launch for the year, surpassing the Company’s previous annual record of nine launches in 2022. For the fifth year in a row, Electron has retained the title of second most frequently launched US rocket annually. “It has been a privilege to provide the team at iQPS with a dedicated ride to orbit on an accelerated timeline and we’re honored to play a key role in building out their SAR constellation with Electron.” The mission, named “The Moon God Awakens”, launched from Pad B at Rocket Lab’s Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand at 17:05 NZDT / 04:05 UTC on December 15th. Named after the Japanese God of the Moon, the iQPS-SAR-5 satellite “TSUKUYOMI-I” is a synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) satellite that will collect high-resolution images of Earth. The satellite joins another iQPS satellite already in orbit and forms part of what will eventually be a 36-satellite constellation capable of monitoring Earth at specific fixed points every 10 minutes. #Space #Rocket #Launch #Mission #US #Satellite https://lnkd.in/eiJ9efwK

I have submitted minor corrections to my paper showing that only #QI can model the orbit of Proxima Centauri (old physics does not even predict our nearest neighbour in space). I covered all the reviewer's points, which were solid & constructive. Let's hope it gets accepted! Meanwhile for #IVO's Barry-1 cubesat (the first test of #QI in space) the switch on is imminent.
