An ode to maintenance 🛠️ / Congratulations Voyager 1 team! 🛰️ Take note earthlings: After 5 months of troubleshooting, the Voyager team has successfully repaired their probe. A probe that was built in the 1970s and hurdles through space at about 40,000 mph, some 15,000,000,000 miles away. And you thought your remote job was hard. To add to your amazement, remind yourself that it takes more than 23 hours for a signal to reach Voyager and another 23 hours to hear back, and most of the original documentation the team uses to test its fixes is from the 1970s and is still on IRL paper in filing cabinets. We work in an industry of disrupters and they get a lot of celebration time. But maybe there’s some room for the maintainers who keep things running too. So here’s to the power of keeping things going and to stuff that works well for a really really long time. #SpaceTech #TechTrends #Innovation

When Tomorrow.io planned to launch satellites into space, they needed a leader who had the expertise and determination to lead this mission. 🚀 There was no one better for the job than John Springmann, SVP of Space and Sensors at Tomorrow.io. What are our goals? Why is space data critical? Check out the clip from '6 Years to Launch' to learn more. P.S. You can join John in building the future of space-based innovation!

As I'm currently immersed in all things #space in #Houston, #Texas, and with our visit to Space-Comm Expo just around the corner, I’m excited to discuss some of the ways we’re helping the space industry to #innovate. 🚀 #Embedded #tech is just one area where we have extensive experience – a key area where we can add significant value. Why embedded #technology? Because in the space industry, reliability, efficiency, and performance are paramount. Whether it's #satellite communications, #navigation systems, or onboard computing, embedded #software solutions are paving the way for ground-breaking discoveries and advancements in space #exploration. This area of tech is critical to successful space #missions, ensuring the safety and stability of launch vehicles and controlling #robotic exploration. If you’re heading to the event on the 6th March, do let me or Nick Evans know. We’ll be on the look-out for opportunities in the embedded #software space and beyond and hope to catch up over a coffee, freeze dried or otherwise! See you there. 🤝 #space #embeddedsoftware #robotics #roboticsinnovation #technology #navigation #exploration #software #spacetech #spaceindustry #spaceinnovation
