  7. Orbital quer criar datacenters em órbita e primeiro satélite é lançado em 2027
    O objetivo do primeiro satélite da Orbital é validar a operação de GPUs em órbita, testar impacto de radiações e correr processos de inferência de Inteligência Artificial no espaço.

  11. 🇨🇦 There are two more launches 🚀 scheduled from the existing pad this year, and the goal is for a first #orbital launch by next year. Nova Construction will begin more work on the road network to the site, electricity would be run to the site by year’s end saltwire.com/nova-scotia/space

    #Spaceport #NovaScotia

  12. Flight 13 is expected to be the first #orbital 🌌 flight of #Starship, as well as the first to target a tower catch 🦾 of the upper stage en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_S

    The first flight of Starship V3 will look a lot like #SpaceX’s past Starship test flights. The following flight will bring the ship back for a reentry over northern #Mexico and recovery back at SpaceX’s test facility at #Starbase, Texas. Chance of a successful 👍 Starship catch happening in 2026: 70 percent arstechnica.com/space/2026/01/

  13. Psychic Dancehall, an Electronic and Experimental #MusicFestival will be happening on 21st March in #Derby, across 3 venues.

    Some artists from the Derby #EMOM nights will be there - James Glew, Hexial, and Clum, amongst others.

    It looks like a good lineup, including Phil Hartnoll from #Orbital!

    I saw him and his son at BangFace a couple of months ago :)

  14. #Rocketry
    How does liquid #Methane (bad stuff, better burned) with high test Hydrogen #Peroxide look for an #orbital class #booster ?

    The UK has experience tucked away somewhere of kerosene/H202 and perhaps that is a smaller jump than #Methalox or the liquid hydrogen engines?

  15. #Starlink will begin lowering the orbit of its satellite constellation in 2026
    -- moving spacecraft currently operating at around 342 miles (550 km) down to 298 miles,
    -- as the company seeks to improve safety in increasingly crowded low Earth orbit.

    The move follows growing concerns about #orbital #congestion
    as thousands of satellites are launched for broadband, communications, and Earth observation services.

    Starlink’s decision also comes after the company disclosed in December that one of its satellites suffered an "in-orbit anomaly",
    producing a “small” amount of debris
    and cutting off communications with the spacecraft.

    The company said the satellite
    -- one of nearly 10,000 currently in orbit for its broadband internet network
    -- rapidly lost 2.49 miles in altitude,
    suggesting an internal explosion,
    in what was described as
    "a rare kinetic accident"

  16. Altitude alone isn't a sensible way to define an #astronaut. Flying on a commercial airliner ✈️ does not make you an aviator. Riding in a ferry ⛴️ does not make you a mariner. Stepping into a #rocket 🚀 is an insufficient condition for #astronaut wings.
    Orbital #tourism must reach #orbital speeds of approximately 28,000 km per hour. Orbital tourists spend more time in Space 🌌 and travel farther from Earth cambridge.org/core/books/who-o

  17. Two Chinese #satellites, SJ-25 and SJ-21, have reportedly completed the first autonomous high-altitude orbital docking. "Although unconfirmed, this is thought to be the first #orbital #refueling at such a height -- the two satellites are currently over 20,000 miles from #Earth" Although impressive, it raises concerns about potential docking with and disabling other countries' orbital #military assets.

  18. I'm not much for #soundtracks, but this week I picked up the "Mortal Combat" (1995) and "Hackers" (1995) soundtracks because heck why not. And wouldn't you know, they BOTH have Orbital's "Halcyon+On+On" in its full 9m30s glory. Had no idea! Guess that was a good year for Orbital.

  19. A researcher at a Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 university has created technology which will pave the way for #orbital 🌌 factories which can #3Dprint components on demand in #ZeroGravity scotsman.com/news/the-scottish

  24. #SaxaVord #Spaceport 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 : #Hylmpulse 🇩🇪 will attempt sub-orbital launches from 📆 August 2024. Full #orbital launches 🚀 will take place from 📆 2025.
    #RocketFactory Ausburg (#RFA) 🇩🇪 is also planning an #orbital launch 🚀 early next year, followed by a #LockheedMartin / #ABLSpace 🇺🇸 #launch later in 📆 2024 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-nor

  25. #SpinLaunch is conducting a feasibility study to determine if two areas off the #Eyre Highway 🇦🇺 could be used as a #LaunchSite for its #orbital accelerator. The #LaunchSystem stands more than 50 metres tall and can reach speeds of 8,000km per hour. abc.net.au/news/2023-08-25/spa

  28. The #orbital #fuel depot idea have been much maligned by #NASA in the early days of the #SLS development because it #undercut the #rationale for the program in the first place. “It got really #political, We were basically told to sit down and #shut up.” 🙊 scientificamerican.com/article
