AxEMU Spacesuit for Artemis III Lunar Mission 🧑🏻🚀👨🏾🚀 Axiom Space and Prada have unveiled the cutting-edge AxEMU spacesuit for NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Artemis III mission at the International Astronautical Congress in Milan, showcasing a blend of innovation and style. Designed with both engineering precision and Prada’s expertise in high-performance materials, the spacesuit will be worn by astronauts exploring the lunar south pole. The collaboration emphasizes a new era in cross-industry partnerships, merging advanced technologies with aesthetic design. Key features include increased flexibility, redundant safety systems, and specialized tools to withstand extreme lunar conditions, paving the way for future space exploration and commercialization. __________________ #product_notion #industrialdesign #designinspo #designinspiration #prada #nasa #space #spacesuit #spacetravel #engineering #innovation #tech

*Cue the Interstellar theme.* Every time I see a robot auto-dock, it reminds me of that iconic scene where they attempt to dock the space station while it's spinning in orbit. The precision, timing, and tech is always awesome to see. RobotLAB Inc.

🚀 Saturn V: A Journey Through CAD Excited to share my latest project—a model of the iconic Saturn V rocket created in Fusion 360! This rocket, a marvel of engineering, was instrumental in landing humans on the Moon during NASA's Apollo missions. Did you know that the Saturn V remains the most powerful rocket ever built, with a thrust of 7.6 million pounds at liftoff? This project not only challenged my CAD skills but also deepened my admiration for aerospace innovation. Feedback and thoughts are welcome—let’s connect and share the passion for engineering! #AerospaceEngineering #Fusion360 #SaturnV

Strong early-stage space teams know how hard it is for spacecraft exploring planetary bodies to not crash into obstacles or objects while exploring terrain. Steep, slippery slopes can cause rovers to slip and lose traction. Rugged terrain with many rocks, holes and traps can damage wheels and chassis. Limited visibility from orbital images don't show all the hazards at ground level. Autonomous navigation systems can be tricky when faced with unexpected obstacles. #space #newspace #deepspace #aerospace #everythingspace 📸: NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

The 1st time I seen drones in space was in Star Trek Discovery, 4yy ago. It's mezmerizing to see how much the time period between sci-fi and reality has shortened. Especially if you realize that almost 30 years passed between Kirk's communicator and the Motorola Startac #innovation #engineering #Technology #futurism #drones #spacerace #spacetech #geek #startrek #scifi #motorola #startac

Sailing in #space? Yes, indeed! Kongsberg NanoAvionics and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration are making it happen. Yesterday, our collaboration reached new heights with the launch of the ASC3 satellite, featuring pioneering solar sail technology with 80 square meters of sail area. This innovative propulsion method harnesses the power of sunlight to navigate through space, potentially revolutionizing spacecraft propulsion. Unlike traditional propulsion systems that rely on fuel, solar sails use sunlight for propulsion, making them incredibly sustainable and efficient. It‘s awesome to see how a satellite designed in #Lithuania enables this groundbreaking technology and paves the way for future research and exploration.

Ever wondered what it would be like to fly faster than the speed of sound without that ear-splitting sonic boom? 🌟 That's exactly what NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's X-59 is working toward, and it gets me thinking about just how amazing it would be to see a rebirth of supersonic travel in private aviation. 🚀 To me, it feels almost like science fiction: crossing the country in record time, with barely a sound. ✈️ As the X-59 gets closer to its first flight, undergoing all these rigorous tests, I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see how this could transform the future of travel. 🌍 To consider quiet supersonic flights a possibility is a thought beyond understanding. Such a reality can't help but conjure up thoughts of what this could do to how we travel worldwide. 🌐 #NASA #X59 #SupersonicTravel #Aviation #FutureOfFlight #TechInnovation #Aerospace

Active vs. Passive Sensors in Remote Sensing Ever wondered how satellites and aircraft gather data about our planet? Remote sensing instruments can be classified as Active or Passive, based on how they collect energy. Here’s a quick comparison: Both types of sensors play a critical role in Earth observation, providing complementary insights into our planet's atmosphere, surface, and ecosystems. Which type of sensor do you find most fascinating?

🌊 NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Perseverance rover has successfully traversed the ancient river channel known as Neretva Vallis on #Mars. Initially considered a path free of rover-slowing boulders, this significant milestone was achieved with the aid of AutoNav, an autonomous navigation system. AutoNav enabled #Perseverance to cover 200 meters to its first science stop in just one Martian day (24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35,244 seconds long). This system allows the rover to make real-time decisions to avoid hazards and find the safest path forward. 🤖 The image was created by #generative #artificial #intelligence to capture your attention. https://lnkd.in/dBFJkW7f
