🚀 Check out our project developed during the NASA Space Apps Challenge 2024! 🌍 In two intense days, my team Parahyba and I created an application focused on raising awareness about greenhouse gas emissions, such as CO₂ and CH₄. This challenging and rewarding experience earned us 5th place in the local stage (Campina Grande - PB)! Now, we are competing in the national phase, where our solution will be judged directly by NASA. Team: Vitor Soares | Vítor Raimundo Fernandes Gabinio | Antonio Neri | Gabriel Guedes Barros da Silva | Arthur Araujo Curious to know more about the project? Watch the explanatory video below to discover how our idea aims to contribute to a more sustainable future: 👇

Breaking News: Flights to Venus are now on sale! Yes, you heard that right! 🚀 For the first time in history, we are selling out tickets to Venus! 🌋🌪️ Thirty years ago, the Soviet Union’s Venera 13 spacecraft lasted a mere 2 hours before it got toasted in Venus' hostile environment. Three decades later, the challenge remains: how can we last longer? And we're tackling that challenge head-on! 💪 In our NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration-funded project, we explored the feasibility of a Vacuum Airship for operating on Venus using Buoyant Architected Materials (BAM) made from ceramics. The secret sauce? 🧪 It's all in the optimization of the material’s microstructure! This allowed us to unlock the latent properties of ceramics to create something truly out of this world. These materials are: - Strong enough to survive the crushing pressure of Venus’ atmosphere - Light enough to provide buoyancy and lift - Most importantly, thermal insulators so effective they could help us survive on Venus forever! 🔥❄️ But wait, the real gem of this project? Ceramic truss lattice materials exhibit better-than-linear strength scaling – truly pushing the boundaries of cellular materials. 🚨 And before you ask – yes, the flight tickets are limited! 🚨 Want to be the first non-roasted creature on Venus? Get your ticket now! Comment the discount code 'BAM' to receive an 80% discount (just don't forget your spacesuit 😉). Check out our new paper for all the details: 👉 https://lnkd.in/efk22b4w Special thanks to NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration for sponsoring this project, Dr. Andrew Gross, and University of South Carolina for supporting my research. Let’s go to Venus! 🌠👩🚀 #VenusMission #Venus #MaterialScience #SpaceExploration #NASA #Ceramics #ArchitectedMaterials #optimization #metamaterial #3dprinting #engineering #Research #TrussLattice #Innovation #Science #GML

Navigating the space industry from pursuing a PhD to building a career at NASA JPL as a foreign national has been challenging yet deeply rewarding. I recently shared my journey and tips with The Better India to create a Space For All and hopefully motivate the next generation of space leaders.

NASA turned him down so he built his own billion dollar rocket company... In 2006, Peter Beck traveled from New Zealand to the United States to show off his experiments to NASA, hoping to come away with an internship. Instead, he was escorted off the premises, so he went home, drew a logo on a napkin and started the process of building his own space company. According to a CNBC report, Rocket Lab founder and CEO Peter Beck started his own rocket company after NASA and other companies like Boeing wouldn't give him a chance. Today, his space startup launches satellites for NASA and Rocket Lab is worth over $2 billion. "On the face of it, here’s a foreign national turning up to an Air Force base asking a whole bunch of questions about rockets — that doesn’t look good," Beck said. It's probably better that it happened that way because there weren't many companies out there building what he had envisioned: a lightweight suborbital rocket capable of transporting satellites. Beck founded Rocket Lab in 2006 and three years later it became the first private company in the Southern Hemisphere to reach space. When you see opportunities, you have to poke your head out but not commit too deeply, he said: "Otherwise, you’ll get your head cut off." Sometimes it's ok to take big risks and other times it's better to be safe and methodical, Beck said, noting without flawless execution, the consequences can be devastating. Beck used to get sick on every launch day in the early stages. He's past that now, but he said it's still hard to enjoy them. "There’s just so much invested in each launch. So much responsibility," he said. Getting the company's first rocket into orbit was one of the easiest parts because everyone's attention was on that one rocket launch. Now the company rolls a new rocket off its production line every 18 days, he said. "Just when you think things are going good, you’re reminded of how hard this business really is. Every time that you take too much of a breath, you’ll be humbled very quickly," Beck said.

Busy day at KULR today as we are screening batteries for NASA's crewed space missions.  KULR's automated screening line is where precision meets innovation. 🔋 At KULR, we're not just creating battery cells; we're engineering the future of energy storage. Our cell screening line is at the forefront of identifying and delivering the highest performing and quality battery cells. These are not just any batteries; they are the ones that will power the next generation of space exploration, contributing directly to NASA's quest for innovation beyond our planet. Why does this matter? Because in space, every component must operate flawlessly under the most extreme conditions. NASA's partnership with KULR underscores a shared commitment to excellence, safety, and reliability. It's a testament to how KULR's technology is not just meeting but exceeding the expectations of the world's leading space agency. 🌍 For us, this is more than a collaboration; it's a mission. A mission to ensure that the batteries that power our future - whether in space or here on Earth - are the safest, most reliable, and highest performing available.

NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration green lit project Dragonfly, plan to send a giant drone to Titan (one of Saturn's moons). Currently, mission is estimated @ $3.2 billion after doubling from initial estimates from 5 yrs ago. Mission launch is also pushed back by 2 years. Unfortunately this is a familiar story - NASA needs more time and money. We need to change the business model for scientific research - yes, we need public funding (I don't know of a company/individual who would fund $3.2 billion with no ROI) for these kinds of missions. But we also need to let markets work their magic. Why don't we take $3.2 billion, outline what we want to accomplish and offer the funds as a prize to whomever can deliver?
