The music isn't that bad … ► https://lnkd.in/dQ53bQPu | … in this video of the Juice spacecraft ‘skimming’ past Earth. The aim of the European Space Agency - ESA mission, launched in April 2023, is to study Jupiter and its icy moons. The mission has already achieved two major milestones: a first flyby of the Moon and Earth and the first maneuver using Earth's gravity to redirect its trajectory toward a flyby of Venus in August 2025. The video shows the sequence of images captured by the spacecraft during the maneuver. GOIMEK, in collaboration with Sener Aerospace & Defence, manufactured the main reflector of the spacecraft's medium gain antenna (MGAMA), and its auxiliary elements.

Did you know. a launch vehicle must accelerate its spacecraft payload to a minimum velocity of 28,000 kmph to reach Earth’s orbit which is roughly 25 times the speed of sound? 🌌 Currently launchers with the best recent records have a reliability rate between 95% to 99%. 🚀 The space launch vehicle service providers work with satellite manufacturers, space agencies, and other customers to integrate payloads onto the rockets. 🛰️ The advent of private space companies and the increasing commercialization of space activities are some of the key factors driving the growth of space launch services. 📈 By 2030 space launch vehicle service market will be valued at US$ 18 Billion. 💲 To know more about the future of space launch vehicle service?

A maze of cables and sensors snakes through a major piece of Gateway, humanity’s first space station around the Moon, during a key testing phase earlier this year to ensure the lunar-orbiting science lab can withstand the harsh conditions of deep space. HALO (Habitation and Logistics Outpost) is one of four Gateway modules where international teams of astronauts will live, conduct science, and prepare for missions to the lunar South Pole region. Other elements will be provided by the European Space Agency, Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency, and the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre of the United Arab Emirates. The Canadian Space Agency is providing Gateway’s Canadarm3 advanced robotics system. HALO is provided by Northrop Grumman and their subcontractor, Thales Alenia Space. The module completed testing in Turin, Italy, before its expected arrival to the United States in 2025. Northrop Grumman will complete final outfitting of HALO and integrate it with Gateway’s Power and Propulsion Element for launch ahead of the Artemis IV mission on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket.

Cold welding for spacecraft repairs to be tested on ISS An experiment on the International Space Station is to test the use of cold welding for repairing damaged spacecraft. The ASTROBEAT technology demonstration project will evaluate the use of cold welding in space by testing metal patches on simulated spacecraft hulls. The technique offers a safer and potentially more reliable method for in-orbit repairs than traditional techniques.

The #accuracy that #Proba3 will bring to get the #eclipses and allow the #corona observation is something #unpreceeded, both linear and angular #precision is insane! 2 satellites flying at speeds above 1km/s (around Apogee, where formation flying happens) with an accuracy of millimeter and arc-sec before they break formation and go up to 10km/s while passing the Perigee, repeating every ~19.5h in a #autonomous way. That's Proba-3!
Turn your finger sideways and look at the thickness of your nail - then imagine steering spacecraft to that level of precision. That's the goal of ESA's double-spacecraft, eclipse-making Proba-3 mission. Read our Proba-3 101 Media Kit: https://lnkd.in/eCdeRZFj

🚀 Did you know that just 31 seconds spent outside of Earth’s atmosphere is enough to completely destroy the physical human body? So if an astronaut needs to venture outside the spacecraft to do a welding repair, the stakes are high. 😱 The first space welding mission was undertaken by Russian cosmonauts Georgi Shonin and Valeri Kubasov in 1969. One of the tests was nearly fatal when Kubasov almost accidentally burned through the hull of their Soviet Soyuz 6 spacecraft. 🔧🔥 Welding in space has its challenges, but recently, laser beam welding has been used. This compact, accurate, and relatively easy welding technique allows astronauts to make emergency repairs in space. However, most of the metal fabrication for spacecrafts is still done on the ground, not in space! 🛰️✨ #SpaceFacts #AstronautLife #SpaceWelding #DidYouKnow #ScienceIsAwesome

The Japanese space business Astroscale, which was created by Nobu Okada, had a 19% increase in share price following the announcement of a $81 million contract to remove space debris with the JAXA: Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency . Under the terms of the deal, which includes Astroscale's Japan division, the upper stage of JAXA's H-IIA rocket, which has been in space since 2009, will be removed. By March 2029, Astroscale intends to build a new spacecraft called ADRAS-J2, which will be fitted with robotic arms to collect the debris. Space debris is becoming a bigger problem for missions because to the expanding number of satellites. #Astroscale #NobuOkada #JAXA #SpaceDebris #SpaceTech #SatelliteSafety #SpaceExploration #Aerospace #Innovation #TechNews #JapaneseStartups #SpaceMission #OrbitalCleanup #startuphonor

Critical missions such as the study of asteroid deflection and how this can protect Earth from future natural threats require purpose-built solutions such as the GR712RC dual-core microprocessor from Frontgrade Gaisler. Bon voyage to European Space Agency - ESA's HERA Mission! #spacecomputing #HERAmission
🚀 The HERA mission, part of European Space Agency - ESA's planetary defence strategy, is preparing to explore the Didymos binary asteroid system, including its smaller moon, Dimorphos. Scheduled for launch today, October 7 at 10:52 a.m. EDT (14:52 UTC) aboard a Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, HERA will arrive at Dimorphos in late 2026. The mission will focus on studying the aftermath of NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s DART mission, which successfully altered Dimorphos' orbit in September 2022 by 33 minutes after a deliberate impact. HERA’s objective is to gather critical data to enhance our understanding of asteroid deflection techniques, a key component of planetary defence. At the core of HERA’s onboard computer systems is the GR712RC dual-core microprocessor, ensuring high-performance data processing, and the GR718B SpaceWire router, enabling reliable communication between the spacecraft’s subsystems. We are always proud to support pioneering space systems with our technology! #spacecomputing #HERAmission Reference: https://lnkd.in/dxPMU-f5

A NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration investigation into the June 2015 SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket failure has concluded that a single bolt, rather than a manufacturing defect, was behind the catastrophic event. The unmanned mission, known as CRS-7, was supposed to deliver a Dragon cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station when disaster struck just 139 seconds after liftoff. The rocket's second stage liquid oxygen tank suffered an "anomalous event," causing the vehicle to disintegrate in the blink of an eye.
