Mother Nature calls a short intermission on the highly anticipated SpaceX's Polaris Dawn private spacewalk 👨🚀 The curtains have yet to rise on SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission. Originally set to debut last August 26 at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Kennedy Space Center, this liftoff had to be postponed due unfavorable weather conditions. While we eagerly wait, every passing moment only brightens our enthusiasm for the upcoming space spectacle. Championed by billionaire pioneer @Jared Isaacman, the Polaris Dawn mission has cast a crew of trailblazers who'll journey into Earth's orbit aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule. The star-studded lineup includes Scott "Kidd" Poteet, former lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Air Force, and SpaceX engineers Sarah Gillis and Anna M.. For five exhilarating days, they will orbit our home planet, extending the frontier of space travel. This phenomenal flight will mark the space debut for Poteet, Gillis, and Menon, while Isaacman will once again rendezvous with the cosmos, following his previous stellar trek via SpaceX's Inspiration4 mission in 2021. Exciting times await ahead! So, keep your schedules open for the updated launch date and join us in saluting the Polaris Dawn crew.  #Space #Universe #SpaceEconomy #SpaceExploration #Innovation #Investment #Diversity #Inclusion #Future #NewSpace #InvestmentReimagined www.viaspaceholdings.com Source: https://lnkd.in/eNm4Uaft

Launching objects into space is a complex process that requires the efforts of many skilled people. To send a person to the moon, nearly half a million individuals worked on the Apollo missions. A little less than 10% of these people worked directly for NASA, while the rest were a large group of suppliers, contractors, and subcontractors, all working together to achieve a common goal. Today we encourage you to take a brief journey through space's history in this infographic by @CGI. From Sputnik's launch in 1957 to the following five decades, space has transformed our world in many ways. #LondonSpaceFinance #SFS2024 #SpaceFinance #SpaceBusiness #SpaceEconomy #FutureofSpace #SpaceInvestment #UKSpace #UKSpaceFinance #SpaceTechUK

🚀✨ From the launchpad to the stars… we witnessed the awe-inspiring journey of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as it ignited the night sky, kicking off the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Crew-8 mission just before 11 p.m. ET on Sunday. 🛰️ Onboard: a crew of four, three from NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and one representing Roscosmos, bound for the International Space Station for an epic six-month adventure filled with science and exploration. 💫 Despite initial concerns about a minor crack, SpaceX engineers swiftly addressed the issue, ensuring a smooth mission. This launch marks SpaceX’s 13th human spaceflight since 2020, a historic milestone as they send their 50th individual into orbit! 🎉 The connection between space travel and everyday life is closer than you think. Take Crew-8’s mission, for instance. It’s not just about space exploration; it’s about pushing tech boundaries that impact our transportation and logistics right here on Earth. 🌍 When space agencies and companies collaborate, they innovate tech that can revolutionize our transport systems, making them smoother and greener. 🌱 Who knew logistics played such a vital role in space missions? It’s all connected in the grand scheme of transport. 🚚✨ #SpaceX #NASA #Crew8 #SpaceExploration #TechInnovation #TransportRevolution #ISS

On July 29, 1958, President Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act into law, paving the way for the creation of NASA. The agency officially opened for business on October 1, 1958, marking a new era in space exploration. Just one year later, the Summer Science Program was founded, inspiring generations of young scientists and future leaders. Here's to the milestones that continue to shape our journey in science and space! 🚀 #NASA #SSPHistory

Today we are at the U.S. House of Representatives on behalf of the Coalition for Deep Space Exploration with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Lockheed Martin Space to promote human space flight and exploration via the Artemis program. It’s always interesting to see the appropriations of funds to earth science versus manned missions. A comprehensive and inclusive approach to funding and capital allocation is needed to move the entire space industry forward and continue to drive innovation. Crewed or robotic, MSI - DFAT SERVICES, LLC is a mission critical partner to the acoustical qualification of spacecraft, satellites and space objects. We create jobs and opportunities in Baltimore and beyond. 🔊 🔊 🚀 👩🚀 👩🚀 🌖 ✨ • • • #NASA #Artemis #Space #SpaceIndustry #SpaceExploration #EarthScience #spaceexploration #spacetechnology #spaceinnovation #rocketscience #rocketlaunch #satellite

Sunita Williams faces a possible six-month space mission extension due to issues with Boeing's Starliner, potentially battling distorted time perception in the process. - 🚀 Starliner’s thruster problems and helium leaks could extend the mission. - 🕒 Extended time in space can lead to psychological challenges like distorted time perception. - 🧠 Engaging in mentally stimulating tasks might help mitigate time distortion effects. #NASA #SpaceExploration #Astronaut - 🧑🚀 Prolonged space missions can cause significant psychological strain on astronauts. - 🔄 Adjustments to the mission are crucial to maintaining mental well-being. - 🛠️ Continuous efforts are made to troubleshoot and resolve Starliner’s issues. - 🌌 Time perception issues highlight the complexities of long-duration space missions. - 📈 These challenges underscore the importance of mental health strategies in space exploration. https://lnkd.in/gEzqXgc9

Suni and Butch are currently stranded on the ISS due to a Starliner thruster issue, and their flight suits aren't compatible with the Dragon Crew spacecraft. With NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration needing to send an extra suit for Butch’s return, it raises a bigger question: How do we avert Black Swan events? The massive number of people who died with the Titanic wasn’t because of the “random” iceberg but rather by the systematic reality of “not enough lifeboats.” Our hubris and lack of imagination is the source. I dive deeper into this issue in this month's article for Aerospace America magazine (AIAA). What could this potential “Black Swan” event mean for future space exploration missions? 🤔 https://lnkd.in/eyS7YJx6 #NASA #SpaceX #Boeing #ISS

On our way to Dimorphos again with Frontgrade Gaisler's rad-hard GR712RC LEON3FT dual-core processor sitting in the middle of the ‘Advanced Data and Power Management System 3rd Generation - ADPMS3’, and our rad-hard GR718B 18-port SpaceWire router switch in the 'Mass Memory Unit'. HERA is the European Space Agency - ESA’s mission to study the Didymos binary asteroid system, following NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s DART mission. And we have our LEON3FFT technology on both missions - actually on three of the five spacecraft: DART, LICIACube and HERA. #HERAmission #leon3ft #gr712rc #gr718b #ut700 #spacecomputing

🚀 Yesterday marked a monumental achievement as the Boeing CST-100 Starliner's crewed test flight successfully launched on a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket! After much anticipation and overcoming the challenges of a helium leak delay, and a computer sequence delay we can now celebrate this incredible milestone in human spaceflight!🚀😃 This launch is particularly historic as it's the first time humans have launched from Space Launch Complex 41 and the first Human Space Flight Launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station since the Apollo 7 mission in 1968. 🧑🚀 Safety always comes first, and this mission exemplifies the dedication and hard work of everyone involved. NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita Williams are now on their way, pushing the boundaries of space firsts! 🚀🧑🚀👩🚀💫 #Space #NASA #Boeing #Starliner #ULA #HumanSpaceflight #SafetyFirst #ISS #Astronauts #SpaceExploration #Innovation #SpaceLaunch #SpaceDomain #SpaceLogistics
