🎙️ Today on Main Engine Cut Off: Redwire Space has been awarded a contract by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to be prime mission integrator for their Otter program, flying Redwire’s new SabreSat spacecraft in VLEO. We dive into the technical and operational details with Spence Wise: https://lnkd.in/emp-Vgcx We talk about SabreSat generally, its use cases and configurations, how it applies to the wider market, how to launch a spacecraft shaped like this, what the operational challenges and opportunities are in VLEO, which missions make the most sense in that regime, and so much more.

LightShed is a huge believer in the experience economy and the ultimate experience is space. Space Perspective is redefining the future of space tourism and democratizing access to the #OverviewEffect . The LightShed Ventures team could not be more excited for today's unveiling of the completed capsule. Brandon Ross Walter Piecyk Jamie Roberts Seltzer Xavier Parkmond Excelsior is now the largest #spaceflight capsule in existence, and soon to be the largest human #spacecraft in operation (excluding the International Space Station). Its spherical capsule is 16 feet (4.9 meters) in diameter, providing a pressurized volume of more than 2,000 cubic feet (60 cubic meters) – roughly two times the volume of Virgin Galactic’s Spaceship Two and Blue Origin’s New Shepard, and about four times that of #SpaceX's Crew Dragon. Uncrewed test flights pave the way for human test flights later this year. Data gathered during our upcoming flights will inform the build of a human-rated Spaceship Neptune capsule, which will be only the seventh new human spacecraft designed and built in the last 50 years. The #future of human space travel is here.

What should be India's approach to human spaceflight? Here is India's only cosmonaut, Wg Cdr Rakesh Sharma talking about his perspective to this emerging scene. https://lnkd.in/ec7Zk9M

Boeing’s Starliner: A New Dawn in Space Travel Boeing’s innovative Starliner capsule has taken to the skies, embarking on a critical mission to the International Space Station. With its cutting-edge sun visors, the Starliner is not just a spacecraft; it’s a beacon of progress in our cosmic quest. This journey is more than a routine spaceflight; it’s a testament to human resilience and the relentless pursuit of knowledge. As the Starliner docks with the ISS, it carries the hopes of a generation eager to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos. Let’s celebrate this monumental achievement and look forward to the wonders that this mission will unveil. The future of space exploration is bright, and it’s happening now. #NextFrontier #BoeingInSpace #StarlinerJourney #ISSMission #AerospaceInnovation #Innovation #ISS #Whatsbuzzing #Qafto

In a landmark collaboration, NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) and Space Machines Company have signed a Dedicated Launch Service Agreement to bolster India-Australia space cooperation. Announced at the India Space Congress 2024 in Delhi, this agreement sets the stage for the 2026 launch of Space Machines Company's second Optimus spacecraft. The initiative, Space MAITRI (Mission for Australia-India’s Technology, Research, and Innovation), represents a significant step forward in the strategic partnership between the two nations. The 450kg Optimus spacecraft, the largest ever designed and built in Australia, will be launched aboard ISRO’s Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV). Space MAITRI aims to enhance relationships between governmental, institutional, and commercial space organizations in both countries. It focuses on debris management and sustainability, aligning with the core values of promoting responsible space operations and addressing the threat of space debris. #CXOTechBOT #ISRO #SpaceMachinesCompany #OptimusSpacecraft #NSIL #SpaceMAITRI #IndiaAustraliaPartnership #SpaceDebrisManagement #Sustainability #SpaceInnovation #ISROSSLV

Future #CTPSpace and CTP Propulsion Systems stand to carve an entire 'chunk' into the #newspaceeconomy upon realization. That or add its own multibillion valuation on top of these present industry figures to grow #space exponentially. #CTPEnergy is 'how' we will attain and achieve #StarTrek-like #newcivilization. Space Economy Estimated to be $464 billion in 2022 – Euroconsult Report Overview

#Deepspace exploration is NOT possible with your present date propulsion systems. Complain. Protest. Ignore. Or hate CTP all you wish to. It's the truth. CTP (https://bit.ly/3xVIG8Q) is the future (https://bit.ly/3HZBdYu) of space travel. #newscience #innovation #innovationmindset #paradigmmindset #heiroftesla
