#launchcompanies — Public Fediverse posts

📆 November 27, 2023 The #MarsSociety has launched a crowdfunding campaign to fund the Mars Technology Institute (#MTI). “#SpaceX and other entrepreneurial #LaunchCompanies are already moving rapidly to develop the transportation 🚀 systems that can get us to the #planet #Mars. What is needed is an institution devoted to developing the technologies that will allow us to #live once we are there." https://www.marssociety.org/news/2023/11/27/mars-technology-institute-crowdfunding-campaign-launched/

#PhysicsWorld 🇬🇧 "the official line from the #government 🏢 is that #SpaceLaunch facilities will be a boon to the #UK economy, swelling UK industry capitalization from £17 billion now to £40 billion 💰 by 2030. One hurdle is #competition. There are around 168 #LaunchCompanies around the world 🌏, at different stages of development. Even if many fall by the wayside the #LaunchMarket will inevitably become crowded, making it a challenge for UK #SpacePorts to compete.
#Skyrora uses #Ecosene, a premium kerosene derived from unrecyclable #plastic waste 🗑️. #Orbex uses the renewable ultralow-carbon fuel #BioLPG. #ClearSpace and #Astroscale are designing missions to remove #SpaceDebris." https://physicsworld.com/a/uk-spaceports-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly
