Voyager Space’s Post

A pad abort test is a kind of test of a launch escape system which conducted by setting the system along with the spacecraft still on the ground and let the system activate to carry the spacecraft flying away, then separate in the air and make the spacecraft land safely.

A MEMORY FOR TODAY Thanks for all you have given us to enrich out lives - economic enriching spin-offs and breakthroughs, the enrichment of so many engineering, technology and scientific US minds, the astronauts- some of whom in the original Mercury 7, to Gemini and Skylab, through the Apollo, Viking Mars, Voyager Missions, Space Shuttle, ISS, until today have provided DARPA, the government, government agencies, airlines, schools, nonprofits, the largest Fortune 500s, the commercial space/UAV, unmanned spacecraft and deep space missions, and the smallest most promising technology and IT/VR/AI/ML startups, even quantum computers and quantum studies … THEY ARE ALL HERE BECAUSE EISENHOWER THEN JFK STARTED THE US SPACE PROGRAM CALLED—-NASA Today, during the Nixon Administration an Ohio boy (no not John Glenn) Neil Armstrong — on this day 55 years ago — boarded Apollo 11 to be the first Terra (earth) mission to another planet- the Moon. God speed the current generation of space travelers on rocket engines that are powerful enough to launch their missions to other planets.

🇺🇸🚀 Virgin Galactic's financial results: - Q4 GAAP EPS: -$0.26, beats by $0.04. - Revenue: $2.81 million (+223.0% YoY growth), lost by $0.16 million. Additional details: - Revenue of $3 million, up from $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, driven by commercial spaceflight and membership contributions from future astronauts. - Six human spaceflights were successfully completed in six months in 2023. - The Galactic 06 mission was completed in January 2024. - The Delta-class spacecraft are on track for ground and flight testing in 2025 and commercial launch in 2026. #SPCE #Report #ElectronicTechnology #Aerospace #Defense

Welcome Orbit Fab to #CommercialSpaceWeek as a Gold Sponsor! Make sure you visit them at the SpaceCom & Space Mobility Conference & Expo Jan. 28-30, 2025 in Orlando! Registration is now OPEN! ABOUT ORBIT FAB: Orbit Fab was founded in 2018 to eliminate the single-use spacecraft paradigm with in-space refueling. Spacecraft are still limited to the amount of fuel they are launched with, which limits flexibility and poses long-term risks to the space environment. We resupplied water to the ISS, and launched the first commercial fuel depot into #LEO. Our RAFTI refueling interface has become the industry-standard, and we have signed 
the first commercial and U.S. Government fuel delivery services deals. #spacedebris #spaceeconomy #commercialspace #inspacerefueling
