NewSpace: A New Era In Space Exploration. As one era ends a new one begins: a new golden era in spaceflight. Join us for all the latest headlines in this bold new adventure.
Exos aerospace performed another test launch yesterday, demonstrating their SARGE rocket - Suborbital Autonomous Rocket with GuidancE. But SARGE is a continuation of Stig which was developed by John Carmack's Armadillo Aerospace, hoping to provide a reusable sounding rocket platform for zero G experiments.
On Saturday (Sept. 28), Elon Musk gave hіѕ annual update аbоut Starship аnd Super Heavy, thе reusable spacecraft аnd rocket, respectively, thаt thе company іѕ building tо help colonize Mars.
Thе presentation took place аt SpaceX's South Texas site, near thе village оf Boca Chica, аnd prominently featured thе 165-foot-tall (50 meters) Starship Mk1 — thе fіrѕt full-size Starship prototype, whоѕе assembly wаѕ completed just days bеfоrе Musk's talk. (One test-flight prototype preceded thе Mk1 — a short аnd stubby vehicle called Starhopper, whісh wаѕ retired іn late August.)
SpaceX Starship Intel Drop From COO Gwynn Shotwell | SpaceX in the News Episode 60. Today we take a deep dive into Gwynne Shotwell's recent comments concerning both Starship and Starlink, and investigate the latest Crew Dragon news.
Today I’m going to cover over a bunch of new information dropped this week. The SpaceX Starship Updates keep coming and the Mars Plan is developing with new information from the Mars Society Convention 2019 dropping this week. Gwen Shotwell attended the International Astronautical Congress this week also with some interesting new information. Firstly we are talking about SpaceX’s Starship on Mars and what plans are coming together to create the first mission. There was a fantastic talk by Paul Wooster at the 2019 International Mars Society Convention in Los Angeles last weekend. Paul is the Principal Mars Development Engineer at SpaceX so we’ll cover over some interesting information shared there. Along with this, we’re also going to cover some exciting new updates on Starlink and Starship development including some great information discussed by Gwen Shotwell at the IAC2019 event.
SpaceX's Starlink division is on track to offer satellite-broadband service in the United States in mid-2020, the company’s president and chief operating officer Gwynne Shotwell said Oct. 22. Getting there will require the company to launch six to eight batches of satellites, Shotwell told reporters during a media roundtable. SpaceX also has to finish the design and engineering of the user terminals, which is not a minor challenge, Shotwell acknowledged. SpaceX’s proposed Starlink constellation of thousands of satellites, which are designed to orbit at low altitudes above the Earth and beam internet coverage to the surface below. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk posted two tweets that show he's testing the broadband service. Elon Musk has a Starlink terminal at his house and he used it to send a tweet early on Oct. 22. ”Sending this tweet through space via Starlink satellite,” Elon Musk tweeted to his 29 million followers. Two minutes later, Musk sent a follow-up tweet that said, "Whoa, it worked!!" In this video Engineering Today will discuss SpaceX’s plan to provide internet coverage with Starlink constellation as soon as mid-2020. Let’s get started.
The 70th International Astronautical Congress is in Washington DC this year, and in the first couple of days we had big presentations from Blue Origin, SpaceX and Rocketlab. We expect more news from the event by the end of the week, but for now here's the interesting stories.
SpaceX Starship New Location is Advancing | SpaceX in the News Episode 58. Today we take a look at SpaceX's new Starship site at the Kennedy Space Center; discuss the recent happenings between SpaceX and the Boca Chica locals; read about talks between SpaceX and the Army; catch up on Starlink news; view the fallout of Elon Musk's situation on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast; and check out NASA's new space suits. Oh, and surprise my audience with LEGO Falcon Heavy news.
NASA invited Media to get an up-close look at the next generation spacesuits the first woman and next man to explore the Moon will wear as part of the agency’s Artemis program.
NASA showed off its new space suit prototypes aimed at supporting astronauts headed back to the Moon in the coming decade. There were lots of comments about the aesthetics, but the truth is, all the suit features make engineering sense and this is probably the best suit NASA has ever designed. After all they've had 50 years to improve on things.
SpaceX Starship Secret Meeting With Elon Musk and Boca Chica Locals | SpaceX in the News episode 57. Today we discuss the recent FCC filing for Starship's 20km test flight; read up on the latest Raptor engine updates; look at the changes to SpaceX's maritime fleet; talk about Starlink's future; then finish by learning about Elon Musk's secret meeting with Boca Chica locals.
Bigelow Aerospace's Next Generation Inflatable Space Habitat is shooting for the moon and hoping to be a part of NASA's Moon 2024 plans! #NASA #Bigelow #Moon2024
Speaking at a quick series of interviews with commercial space companies at this year’s annual International Astronautical Congress, SpaceX president and COO Gwynne Shotwell shed a little more light on her company’s current thinking with regards to the mission timelines for its forthcoming Starship spacefaring vehicle. Starship, currently in parallel development at SpaceX’s South Texas and Florida facilities, is intended to be an all-purpose successor to, and replacement for, both Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, with a higher payload capacity and the ability to reach the Moon and eventually Mars.
SpaceX continues to make progress towards launching crews into orbit, but several critical tests remain before those plans can come to fruition. The company is developing the Crew Dragon spacecraft to transport crews to and from the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. SpaceX has posted a video showing the static fire test of a pod of Crew Dragon SuperDraco abort thrusters, indicating that the complex system has been successfully redesigned and upgraded to fix the faults that caused a Dragon capsule to explode in April 2019. The capsule, known as SpaceX Crew Dragon, is SpaceX’s spacecraft to carry as many as seven people to the International Space Station and more. In this video Engineering Today will discuss SpaceX's next Crew Dragon test which could happen next week. SpaceX preps upgraded Crew Dragon for the static-fire test. Why this test is a critical milestone for SpaceX after April explosion? Let’s get into details.
All the space news you need, happening in October. Several more videos coming this week, next video should be up on Friday, Starship Moon and Mars schedule moved up. Exciting stuff. Got enough material for 30 videos now. Just not enough time, considering how long it takes to make a single 10 min video - 3-4 days.
In this Episode, we will take a look at the latest development on SpaceX's Starship Mark 1 in Boca Chica Texas. We will also get new test dates and an indicator for a possibly postponed launch date for Starship. Last but not least, we will take another look at an already opperational Starlink mega constellation.
SpaceX Starlink is Operational & Starship Survives Tornadoes
SpaceX in the News Episode 59.
Today we look at the aftermath of the tornadoes that just missed the SpaceX Boca Chica facilities; catch up on Starship updates; and go over today's honorable mention.
The SpaceX Starship is in its 4th iteration and is officially entering the testing phase with the production of the Mark 1 prototype that was unveiled on Sept. 28th 2019. Today we look at the history of the Starship and look at the design changes that have occurred along the way.
In this Episode, we will take an in depth look at Paul Woosters Starship Presentation at the Mars Society Convention 2019, which was not advertised at all. With incredibly detailed insights into what lies ahead, he gave out more information, that Elon Musk himself at the official SpaceX Starship Presentation 2019.
Today we are talking about the SpaceX Starlink satellite network potentially increasing to 42,000 satellites. The new plans that have popped up over the last week are incredible. Back in May, SpaceX launched its first initial set of 60 Starlink communication satellites which was the first of the total proposed 12,000 satellites to be launched in upcoming years. Not only that, the next Starlink launch should be happening very soon with a schedule currently suggesting the next set to be launched in October. So no big deal right!? 12,000 satellites screaming around low Earth orbit at over 75,000 kilometers per hour. Well get this… apparently, 12,000 satellites is no longer adequate for SpaceX because new documents with the International Telecommunication Union have been filed looking to launch up to 30,000 additional Starlink satellites on top of the 12,000 already approved by the Federal Communications Commission. So wait…42,000 satellites!? Well over three times the number already approved and under construction.
In this Episode, we will take a look at the latest Starship updates and new Test dates. We will also take a look at 42000 possible Starlink Satellites to be added to the existing lineup. Last but not least we will look at one of the greatest science instruments of the near future. James Webb is fully assembled.
