🚀✨ 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲! ✨🚀 Following the recent elections in the US, and as we stand on the brink of a new era in space exploration and security, I am thrilled to share with you the latest issue of Interstellar Insights - DLA Piper´s roundup of headlines impacting the #space industry in the US, written by my US partner Christian Ford (link in the post below). Highlights discussed are: 📡𝗨𝗦 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀 Space policy and space industry are expected to remain priorities for the new Trump administration.  🔭 𝗨𝗦 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 to 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀 In line with the Space Force’s Commercial Space Strategy, the purpose of which is to enhance US national security by keeping pace with adversaries, the program aims that the Space Force will receive more funding and freedom to work with commercial companies directly, allowing additional companies to offer real-time data. ☄️ 𝗡𝘂𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Nuclear power offers a reliable and long-duration energy source that can support deep space and long-term missions, making it an ideal solution for powering spacecraft, habitats, and scientific instruments far from the sun where solar energy becomes less viable. ✨ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 The updated controls aim to push US innovation while protecting national security and foreign policy interests.   📡 Worth also looking into the Space Agenda 2025 Compendium (https://lnkd.in/dzky4Dsw) recently published by the The Aerospace Corporation's Center for Space Policy & Strategy (CSPS) which provides objective insight into the opportunities and challenges ahead for the space sector:   🛰️ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 🚀 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 🌠 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 ✨ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗨𝗦 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 By following this comprehensive framework, the US can drive global progress in space, protect its interests, and inspire future generations to look to the stars. 🌌 And what does this mean for Europe? Overall, there may be challenges, but by sharing values and interest there will also be significant opportunities to strengthen its space industry through collaboration and innovation. Exciting times ahead ! Welcome the future of space !   #DLAPiper #US #UK #SpaceAgency #NASA #SpaceIndustry #SpaceForce

Following India's Chandrayaan mission, all eyes are now set on the moon, with Russia and China joining forces. Despite setbacks, Russian and Chinese space agencies have announced plans to collaborate on building a shared nuclear reactor on the moon, set to be deployed by 2035, without human intervention.

How do we power the Moon? 🌙🔌 To support a permanent base on the Moon, we're going to need power... a LOT of it. But we can't just use conventional solar panels, space-rated fuel cells, or even the radioisotope thermoelectric generators used on the Voyager missions. Why not? The Moon presents some unique challenges which are only augmented when we also consider how that power source would work on Mars (let's kill two birds with one stone here!). So what's the answer? It might surprise you... nuclear fission reactors ☢️ Check out my latest video to learn more as I dive deeper into each space power source option, their pros and cons, and why nuclear fission is really the only option! BONUS: I also talk about why this development matters to life on Earth! 🌎Because after all, why do anything in space if it doesn't benefit humanity everywhere? #NASA #Moon #SpaceExploration #NuclearPower #CleanEnergy #NuclearMedicine

Some food for thought. The specific power (kW/kg) of the proposed lunar #nuclear rector is low. Very low. The NASA spec for the candidate nuclear reactor was more than 40 kw and less than 6000 kg. [1] That specific power is 6 Watts/kg. Recent announcements by Rolls-Royce are vague but imply a best case of about 100 kW and 3000kg or about 30 W/kg. In contrast, the best production space solar arrays can approach 140 W/kg with a upper limit of 200 W/kg within reach. [3] Using in-space assembly (#ISAM) instead of self-deployment, this limit can be pushed further. Solar power satellites, in an orbit about the moon and always in the sun, can beam continuous power receivers on the lunar surface. [4] This approach has the potential to deliver power 24/7 at a fraction of the mass and cost of a nuclear power plant on the moon.

Without an atmosphere degrading the power and no existing power grid the moon may be the best first place for this

New Post: After 60 Years, Nuclear Power for Spaceflight is Still Tried and True - https://lnkd.in/e43BFhwF Note: Originally published on June 21, 2021. Six decades after the launch of the first nuclear-powered space mission, Transit IV-A, NASA is embarking on a bold future of human exploration and scientific discovery. This future builds on a proud history of safely launching and operating nuclear-powered missions in space. “Nuclear power has opened the solar …

Disaster the Fukushima kind is not just a technology problem, but traceable to gaps in the operating system of a firm. After long period of high performance, many will fall into traps believing nothing can be better, if it ain’t broken, why anything can be a problem. Similar revelations are also in “Missing Links” by Drs. Phillip Mead and Laura Gallagher, reviews of NASA after space shuttle incidents. The takeaways are fresh in the mind, but how do we avoid rotting after the fixes is key IMHO. #transformation
