The space industry began to develop after World War II, as rockets and then satellites entered into military arsenals, and later found civilian applications. It retains significant ties to the government. In particular, the launch industry features a significant government involvement, with some launch platforms (like the Space Shuttle) being operated by governments.

Responsive launch operations look to becoming the “norn” for smaller launch vehicles. Personally I see Responsive Launch as the Unique Selling Point (USP) for smaller launch vehicles. Using the “bus” versus “taxi/uber” analogy: If heavy-launch is the regularly scheduled, cheap ride-share to a close-enough destination option, then light-launch needs to be the option that gets you exactly where you need to be and able to be summoned at short notice, at the time you need to be there. This article discusses both Firefly’s and Northrop Grumman’s future Responsive Launch plans and ambitions. https://lnkd.in/dikVjVer

The recent unveiling of the Starlab Space JV, a collaborative effort between Voyager Space and Airbus to create the next International Space Station, represents a groundbreaking milestone in commercial space exploration. Coinciding with this, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has made a significant announcement to provide the Crew and Science Airlock module for NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Artemis Lunar Gateway. These concomitant announcements demonstrate a remarkable alignment in the vision and goals of global space exploration efforts. The synchronicity of these two ventures – Starlab and the Artemis Lunar & Sustain Lunar Development Gateway – underlines the UAE's prominent role in the international space community. We are proud to support projects that not only push the boundaries of human knowledge and capabilities in space but also foster a spirit of international collaboration and discovery. #Starlab #ArtemisLunarGateway #MBRSC #VoyagerSpace #SpaceInnovation #UAELeadership #GlobalSpaceExploration

Max Q: A rocket retirement and layoffs at Planet, Astra - https://lnkd.in/g82PggyK - ( New Post Shared by www.shipwr3ck.com ) - Hello and welcome back to Max Q! In this issue: Goodbye Antares-230+ Layoffs at Planet and Astra By the way…We’re out-of-this-world excited to announce that we’ve added a dedicated Space Stage to TechCrunch Disrupt 2023. Plus, we’ve joined forces with the Aerospace Corporation to host the Space Domain Awareness Challenge Pitch-off for startups using AI to analyze satellite data streams. Learn more and apply here. OK, on to the news. American-made Antares rocket debut slips to 2025 The final Antares rocket built with components made in Russia and Ukraine lifted off from Wallops Island, Virginia last night, marking the end of a successful flight program and renewed pressure on Northrop Grumman and Firefly to develop its replacement. Good night Antares 230+! Image credit: NASA More news from across TC Astra has laid off 25% of its workforce since the beginning of the quarter and is reallocating 50 engineers and manufacturing staff to focus on its spacecraft engine business. Capella Space’s SAR imaging satellites are returning to Earth much sooner than the three years they were anticipated to operate, according to publicly available satellite data. Planet is laying off 10% of its workforce as it focuses on the “highest ROI opportunities.” Privateer is launching a new product aimed at creating a data “ride-sharing” economy for satellites. SpaceX tested a new water deluge system aimed at protecting the orbital launch mount and ground infrastructure during the next Starship test. Voyager Space and Airbus are expanding their partnership, announcing that they would establish a U.S.-based joint venture for the design, build and operation of the Starlab commercial space station.

We’re designed to be together and we need each other : What does it mean to be together? Being together is not always about being in the same physical space - 2020 has shown us this. ... Read more 👇 https://lnkd.in/e9Vp6DaR

The future of aerospace is not just about what we do, but who we are. Debra Facktor, at Airbus U.S. Space & Defense, expanded on this in a recent interview I read Here’s the lowdown. - Space is getting busy, but that's a good thing. Think roadside assistance for satellites and top-notch security. The future of space is as exciting as a sci-fi movie! - By 2030, the space industry will be a mix of government and businesses. It's not just about who has the coolest gadgets, it's about who can work together best. - The space workforce of the future? It's going to be as diverse as a crowd at a music festival. We need to get more young people, especially women and folks from underrepresented groups, into aerospace. But what's really going to set companies apart in 2030? It's not the tech or the business plan. It's the company culture. So, instead of just setting our sights on the stars, let's set our sights on creating a more diverse workplace. Because in aerospace, we're not just exploring space. We're exploring endless possibilities. #Aerospace #Diversity #Culture #FutureOfWork

Welcome to a new domain. Welcome to Space. Forged by 70 years of excellence, ELT Group has developed its first space programme, launching the payload, “Scorpio”, into space.  By controlling the space domain, we’ll provide additional dimension information for Surveillance, Intelligence, Protection and Countermeasure missions, collecting unclassified data observed on Earth and monitoring illegal activities in the air, on the ground, and in maritime scenarios. Citizens, nations, and businesses depend on space for their daily lives. It has become a matter of Strategic Autonomy and National Sovereignty for every country to guarantee national security and defence operations inside and outside territorial borders and to ensure the continuity of all human activities, today and tomorrow. When it comes to people's safety, we strive further to protect what matters, even in space. 📽 https://lnkd.in/dbQGU6-3 ➡ https://lnkd.in/dYhi-TuE
