There is always a balance to be struck, such as manual override switches or functions that are needed that are hardwired if your GUI goes blue screen or blank, regardless of the Flight Computer redundancy or the levels of radiation it may have been tested to. There is much to be encountered in these Moon and Mars exploration missions, we best be prepared for any and all eventualities out there. Space exploration is unforgiving and with so many new comers some of the old lessons may have not have been addressed or covered. I for one will go with the level the Orion Space Capsule currently has and the configuration of the displays from Honeywell to allow us to program for any direct functionality if needed. Look at how screens on military aircraft or within industrial/hazardous operations complex, like a refinery or mining, are used and their fallbacks if a redundant architecture fails. Recovery from some events maybe a couple of seconds or less with little time to wait for a computer driving the displays to reboot. Just think of the times we have had to command in the blind to recover vehicle functions when telemetry or 1553 Bus data was not available to the ground.

We're excited to hear the latest from Muon Space, a Duro customer that's breaking boundaries. Its new integrated hardware and software stack, Muon Halo, will enable faster time-to-orbit and superior LEO smallsat constellation performance. In addition, the company has won contracts to design, build, and operate ten satellites with remote sensing payloads that will launch in 2025 and 2026. This quote from Jonny Dyer, CEO of Muon Space, sums up why this is so important for the NewSpace ecosystem. "We are providing our customers with an alternative to the launch delays, cost overruns, mission failures, and insufficient operational performance typical in industry today. With Muon Halo's cutting-edge space, ground, and cloud building blocks we support the highest performance, custom mission requirements with a standardized, highly qualified hardware and software platform." #aerospaceengineering #plm #spacetech #engineeringinnovation

It’s truly remarkable what engineers can do when they gather around an important life changing mission. Below you can see the evolution of the raptor of the rockets sent to space by SpaceX. The amount of engineering it takes to simply such a complex system is nothing short of astonishing.

Throwback to our interview with Nicolas Lindsay, previously Director of Spacecraft Production at #SpaceX. Listen to learn more about the future of #hypersonic #technology and the future of #space exploration!

Among the interesting insights in the report: the vast majority of launches are commercial, from the US vs other individual countries, and are related to communications (largely thanks to Starlink). I don't think we will see shifts in this dynamic for a while, but I would definitely like to see insights on down mass. Downmass is typically related to research and using space for the benefit of humanity. I'd love to see that number being tracked and growing. Outside of the Dragon and Soyuz returns from ISS, I don't have much awareness of what China is accomplishing with their station. #commercialspaceflight #spaceeconomy #spacex #spaceresearch
