Starfish Space’s Post

SpaceWERX Ventures has selected Outpost Technologies Corporation (Outpost) to receive a $33.2 million, four-year Strategic Funding Increase (STRATFI) contract to develop and test a scalable heat shield, payload bus and paragliding system to develop a Joint Precision Orbital Cargo (J-POC) space vehicle to support hypersonic testing and reentry missions. The selection notice was presented on August 22nd, at Fed Supernova 2024 event in Austin, TX, and will begin later this year. The anticipated SpaceWERX award will fund four principal Outpost missions of the company’s Ferryall Earth-return vehicle, and development of the large-scale Outpost Carryall vehicle, which will carry up to 10 tons of cargo back to Earth. The first launch is set for the end of 2026. Learn more: https://ow.ly/7SM450TlfQp . . . #AFWERX #SpaceWERX #Ventures #STRATFI #space #hypersonic #reentry #innovation #technology

HAMMER is a state-of-the-art satellite combining a hyperspectral camera, onboard processing, and inter-satellite linking to deliver comprehensive data capture, real-time analysis and global coverage. 🛰️ Hyperspectral imaging provides detailed Earth information, while onboard processing enables immediate insights. Inter-satellite linking ensures timely data transfer globally, enhancing resilience. ✨ In this video, Mission Manager Oriol Aragon uses illegal fishing as an example of how HAMMER can deliver value to sectors looking to use insights from space to make changes on Earth. #OpenCosmos #HAMMER #Satellite #SpaceTech #EarthObservation #ClimateChange

🚀 Exciting times at Scout Space! 🚀 In a recent NYSE Floor Talk with Judy Khan Shaw, our CEO Philip Hover-Smoot shared how Scout is shaping the future of space domain awareness and national security. 🌌 With the increasing complexity of space traffic (100,000+ satellites expected soon!), we’re developing cutting-edge tech to track, process, and secure space environments. 💡 Our flagship product, Owl, is designed to make waves in national security by addressing emerging gaps in space surveillance, allowing for safer operations in GEO orbit. 🛰️ The future of space is about innovation, autonomy, and defense, and we’re at the forefront of it all. Philip’s unique legal background gives us a fresh approach to risk, and we’re leveraging that to solve some of the toughest challenges in space. The future of space traffic management is here—and it’s autonomous! 🌍 #SpaceInnovation #SpaceSafety #Autonomy #ScoutSpace #NationalSecurity #FutureOfSpace https://lnkd.in/gA2Qtnxh

It feels like just yesterday we were placing ads on billboards for tow trucks. Now, in the advancing space era, companies and start-ups are placing ads for tow trucks for space! 🚀 This Wall Street Journal article might be a bit old, but it still transports you to a 'sci-fi is the new reality' zone. Check it out for an intriguing glimpse into the future of space logistics. More in the article #Space #Innovation #Tech #Future #SciFi #SpaceExploration

Data fusion is a key differentiator for COMSPOC, elevating space situational awareness by integrating varied data sources for enhanced orbital accuracy. This methodology not only advances flight safety with precise collision alerts and space debris monitoring but also promotes transparency and collaboration within the space sector. By adeptly merging diverse data and employing sophisticated analytics, COMSPOC distinguishes itself in ensuring the safe and sustainable use of outer space. 📊➕📈 #DataFusion #SpaceTech #SpaceSafety

The ground and space segments of a satellite project are often developed independently of each other and at different life cycles of the mission, creating a wide range of challenges and inefficiencies.

DROID.001 Mission Update. A couple months ago we deployed the optical sensor door, qualifying our first in-house space mechanism, and began taking images with the optical sensor payload. More recently we've been able to aim towards specified geospatial target locations on Earth and using the ADCS system successfully track the location as we fly by for minutes at a time. GIF below shows what the vehicle was doing from raw telemetry as we tracked our friends in Hawaii as we flew past. We are now weeks away from doing this while imaging moving space objects. Each milestone, issue, and anomaly we resolve is one more thing we can test, streamline, and prevent from occurring on future missions. Not only that, we were able to build all the ground infrastructure and vehicle, and get to orbit before raising $10M in dilutive capital. DROID.001 lets gooo! Time to build more DROIDs. A lot more DROIDs. #SpaceSecurity #DROID.001 #NewSpaceRace
