Last weekend, our Team had the pleasure of meeting Dr. J. (Bob) Balaram again, the Chief Engineer of NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Mars Helicopter, Ingenuity. We had a fruitful and insightful discussion about the intricacies of Mars Rover and Helicopter Projects. We learnt that there is so much potential growth in the field of Space Tech, and we are excited to see the future that awaits us!🌟 Special thanks to Mr. Sivaraman Krishnamurthy and Prof. Prabhu Rajagopal for arranging this visit. Let the Exploration continue! #exploretheunexplored #space #engineering #nasa #ingenuity #mars #robotics #marsrover #iitmadras

Mars, the red planet... with green spots ► https://lnkd.in/dBAu_raD | The Perseverance rover from the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration continues its progress on Mars. It recently discovered strange green spots in an area called 'Serpentine Rapids'. Although their exact composition is still unknown, these spots could have been formed by the interaction of liquid water with sediment before its solidification. Since arriving at Mars in February 2021, Perseverance has relied on effective two-way communication with Earth, facilitated by the HGAG antenna. And of course GOIMEK has participated by manufacturing the structural parts of the mechanism that allows the movement of that antenna. #Goimek #aerospaceindustry #machining #milling #grinding #measuring #Perseverance #NASA

🚀NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration has completed the re-work on #NISAR's radar antenna reflector & is in the process of shipping it to SHAR! ✨ 📡The reflector was flown back to the US in March when NASA found the thermal protection coating on the radar #reflector insufficient. 📑 🔥As of now, NISAR is expected to launch NET in March 2025 due to the eclipse season, which is currently underway through #February.🛰️ #isro #nasa #space #mission #india #USA This is because periods of alternating sunlight & shadow during solar eclipses will negatively affect the deployment of NISAR's radar reflector & boom.

Despite significant #technological progress we may have made over the years, nature continues to challenge humanity with its terrifying challenges. The recent case of #NASA #astronaut Sunita Williams exemplifies this. She, along with her colleague Barry, are currently facing an #extended stay aboard the #International #Space #Station due to significant #technical issues with Boeing’s #Starliner capsule. The Starliner mission which was developed by #Boeing in collaboration with #NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, aims to transport astronauts to and from low-Earth orbit. However, the spacecraft which has #encountered delays and #engineering problems, highlighting the complexity of space exploration. While our advancements are remarkable, nature’s #complexity remain #unconquered. 🌏🚀 #safety #prayers #earth #nature

I advise trying to get it done via private financing. SpaceX led the way in showing both launchers and spacecraft can be done at 1/10th the cost via private financing. Now multiple companies world-wide have confirmed both rockets and launchers can be done at 1/10th the development cost by private financing. That would mean only a $45 million development cost. At costs this low it could probably be recouped by its private funders by advertising, or even done at a *profit*.
Senior Robotics Systems Engineer (Navigation, Mobility, Controls, Software) @ NASA, Intelligent Robotics Group
Today, I'm sharing some tough "news": the NASA VIPER mission, where I led the mobility, navigation, and controls systems for five years, has been canceled. Honestly, this hit hard. VIPER was more than just a project—it was a passion, driven by a team dedicated to expanding our lunar knowledge. The decision to cancel it is not just frustrating; it's deeply disappointing. Though this chapter ends abruptly, I'm proud of our achievements and grateful for my incredible team. We've learned a lot, and these lessons will guide us as we explore new horizons. Thanks to everyone who supported this mission. Here's to looking forward and keeping our eyes on the stars. #NASA #VIPER #spaceexploration #engineering #aerospace #robotics

#Kongsberg #NanoAvionics : the satellite bus made in #Lithuania for the in-orbit demonstration of NASA’s Advanced Composite Solar Sail System mission was successfully launched by Rocket Lab. Žilvinas Kvedaravičius, CEO of NanoAvionics: “With the help of our satellite bus, this #NASA mission is poised to advance the frontier of #spaceexploration. Being entrusted with building the satellite bus for NASA’s state-of-the art mission is therefore a tremendous testimony to NanoAvionics technical capabilities, and to our quality. The mission pushed the boundaries of our #nanosatellite bus on several fronts and we carried those learnings onto our standard product line“.

There aren’t many films that dive into the world of PR, but “Fly Me to the Moon” does—and in a unique way. Maybe it resonates so deeply because it’s about #space (and I graduated from the aerospace university), and because it captures the real challenge: not just promoting NASA, but making people love NASA, sparking interest and ultimately directing resources toward it. The movie brilliantly illustrates the intricacies of #deeptech PR: how it can clash with R&D workflows when mishandled, but also how it can enhance them when approached strategically. Yes, #PR can sometimes push boundaries—but that’s exactly what can make it so impactful. Mission Space #spacetech #spaceweather
