Check out the cool feature "Ready for the runway: Dream Chaser spaceplane prepares for first trip to ISS". We excitedly look forward to your continued progress and trip to Florida for the next steps before launch. Tenacity, along with an attached 16-foot cargo module, Shooting Star, is capable of delivering up to 12,000 pounds to the International Space Station (ISS). Upon Tenacity's departure from ISS and deorbit burn, Shooting Star will detach from Tenacity and burn up on reentry, along with its contents, hence its given name. While Tenacity can reach up to 3,000 degrees on reentry within 30 minutes, the spaceplane will cool enough for retrieval of all cargo and hardware. With no need to accommodate a crew, most of the available space in Tenacity is freed up for the "professional tetris" stacked cargo. Very cool! #SpaceNews #AerospaceEngineering #InternationalSpaceStation #ISS #Cargo #Spacecraft

Mold Fact Monday! 🦠 Mold can grow in space! 🚀 NASA discovered that certain molds thrive in the unique conditions of the International Space Station, showing that mold can adapt to extreme environments.

Axiom and other companies are gearing up for the not too distant future when humans travel between orbiting stations and celestial objects - Moon, Mars... But we have not ramped up the off world workforce system which will require thousands of 'space ready' people in all careers, from Med Techs, RNs, and Drs to Construction and Manufacturing Trades, QC and Auditing, Emergency Response Techs, Communications and Installation Techs, Physical and Mental Gealth Therapists and so much more. We need to begin training these folks now in Analog settings so we are ready for Go when the hardware and infrastructure are done. Axiom Space let's get ahead of the curve!

Understanding how something fails is so important to the design process. Many structures fail at critical stress points. Its not as simple as beefing up that portion of the structure where it failed as the critical stress point can simply move to a different location and fail there. Rather, the ideal is to eliminate the critical stress entirely. Not all projects have the resources to test to failure, but so much can be learned by doing so. Physics is the foundation and designers can rely on the physics being present. Beyond that, systems can fail in lots of ways; sometimes predictable but other times in completely surprising ways. We learn by doing. Testing to failure can also verify margins to the design, particularly above things like maximum operating pressure or structural fatigue. Factors of safety are routinely applied over levels that a system is expected to see in flight or during the mission, and testing to failure can show if designers got that resilience right.

West Virginia could emerge as a key player in the rapidly growing global space industry. With NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Keystone Space Collaborative, and initiatives like the West Virginia Small Satellite Center, the state is well-positioned to capitalize on the projected 41% growth in the space sector over the next five years. As the global space economy soars, West Virginia can ascend alongside it – from the mountains of Appalachia to the craters of the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
