Strategic Alliance for Autonomous and Agile Space Mobility Solutions Neutron Star Systems signs MoU with Scout Space to co-develop solutions for space situational awareness Munich, 30.04.2024 – Neutron Star Systems and Scout Space announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on pioneering solutions aimed at advancing space situational awareness (SSA) and space domain awareness (SDA). Leveraging Scout’s cutting-edge software and algorithms alongside Neutron Star Systems’ innovative multimode hybrid chemical/electric propulsion systems, the partnership seeks to revolutionize the space domain. Drawing on their respective expertise, both companies have developed groundbreaking solutions for space mobility and SSA. Both companies have been awarded under the Orbital Prime program STTR grants for developing SSA solutions for the U.S. Space Force. Scout is a leading in-space SDA service provider focused on autonomous space intelligence and security. The company’s optical payload systems and algorithms enable satellites to see and understand their surroundings and act autonomously while on orbit. “Working with one of the leading companies in space situational awareness is a huge step for NSS. Combining the software and algorithms of Scout and the powerful SUPREME technology will be a big leap forward for SSA and SDA”, said NSS’ CEO, Manuel La Rosa Betancourt. NSS develops advanced electric space mobility solutions utilizing an Applied-Field Magnetoplasmadynamic (AF-MPD) propulsion system, integrated with HTS technologies known as SUPREME™. This technology maximizes payload capacity and facilitates multi-mode propulsion for both high specific impulse and high thrust maneuvers. Moreover, it enables optimized maneuverability, enabling a wide range of operations such as collision avoidance, proximity maneuvers, rendezvous operations, and orbit transfers for satellite servicing, making it the ideal thruster for SSA. The strategic partnership aims to address the challenges posed by space debris in the areas of SSA and SDA by integrating a set of disruptive technologies combining AI hardware and software.

❗BlackStar Orbital and Neutron Star Systems announce partnership for the development of a reusable SpaceDrone ❗🚀 Titusville Florida and Munich Germany, March 2024 - BlackStar Orbital and Neutron Star Systems De GmbH (NSS) have formalized a collaborative agreement in support of BlackStars reusable #SpaceDrone, marking a significant milestone in the advancement of #space exploration #technology. The partnership will focus on integrating NSS's multimode #propulsion systems into BlackStar's commercial space vehicles, with the aim of enhancing propulsion capabilities and efficient maneuvering. NSS and BlackStar Orbital began collaborating in 2021 during the Catalyst Accelerator Program for Orbit Servicing Assembly and Manufacturing. During that time BlackStar Orbital was operating in Stealth Mode until 2022. Both companies were showcasing their technologies at the SpaceWERX Orbital Prime pavilion at the SpaceCom Expo in January 2024. The cooperation aims to increase maturity of BlackStar Orbital’s reusable spacecraft by integrating NSS’s Applied Field Magnetoplasmadynamic thruster technology. BlackStar Orbital is pioneering the development of reusable spacecrafts which launch and deploy satellites and land like a spaceplane. Their unique approach enables space exploration, communication, transportation and exploration to be more accessible to everyone. Earlier this year, Blackstar announced a $7.1 million investment to build its spacecraft manufacturing and test facility at the Sierra Vista Airport. Initial production capacity is estimated at 15 spacecraft per year. The facility is scheduled to open by 2026 and is expected to create more than 50 new aerospace and defense jobs. “Cooperating with BlackStar Orbital represents a significant step forward for NSS. We are excited to leverage our traction in the USA and collaborate with one of the most promising new space companies in this field”, said Manuel La Rosa Betancourt, CEO of Neutron Star Systems. NSS's SUPREME™ thruster, an Applied-Field Magnetoplasmadynamic (AF-MPD) propulsion system, offers unparalleled performance by maximizing payload capacity and enabling multi-mode propulsion for high specific impulse and high thrust maneuvers to enhance spacecraft autonomy and agility (maneuvering without regret). Kit Carson, Chief Technology Officer of BlackStar Orbital, said "Neutron Star Systems' thrusters will provide our vehicle with critical capabilities for efficient high specific impulse performance resulting in increased capabilities for station keeping, orbit raising, and other constellation resiliency operations." This strategic partnership between BlackStar Orbital and Neutron Star Systems represents a significant advancement in space technology and underscores both companies' commitment to driving innovation in space exploration.

🚀 Celebrating One Year in Bavaria! 🎉🎆 🎥 Check out our latest video showcasing the highlights of our first year in Bavaria: https://lnkd.in/e2CfJ9SB Little over one year ago, Neutron Star Systems moved its headquarters from Cologne to Munich, marking a significant milestone for our company. Being immersed in the vibrant Bavarian ecosystem has proven to be an incredible opportunity for our space startup. Bavaria, particularly the greater Munich area where our office is now situated, is a hub for the space industry, with renowned companies leading the charge. This proximity enables us to foster closer collaborations, advance our technology, and explore potential applications. We started a collaboration with TUM Venture Labs, a network of Deep Tech & Life Science Incubators to nurture Innovation in Emerging Domains. Our office is located in the Aerospace Venture Lab in Ottobrunn. Moreover, we have been able to achieve traction with the Bavarian federal state through the program space research as part of a consortium together with Rocket Factory Augsburg - RFA. We want to thank the whole Bavarian ecosystem, but especially the TUM Venture Labs, the Bavarian State, Technical University of Munich, XPRENEURS Incubator and UnternehmerTUM for helping us develop the future of the space industry. #NSS #SpaceIndustry #Bavaria #Innovation #SUPREME #TUMVentureLabs
