"Is it tough? Hell yeah, this is the hardest thing I have ever done. It has brought me to my knees, past my breaking point. Doing conventionally multi-million dollar level research on essentially pennies..." ๐Ÿ‘‰ bit.ly/30D92t1 @Applied_Ion #space #cubesat #opensource
It seems like all revenue generating space companies need to take this approach at least to some degree at some point in their journey. ๐Ÿ‘‰ blackship.one/space-startup-โ€ฆ #space #tech #technology #NewSpace #engineering #cubesat

If you have a space startup, here are some things to think about when it comes to product diversification. ๐Ÿ‘‰ blackship.one/space-startup-โ€ฆ #space #NewSpace #Satellite #cubesat #startup

I spoke with Kalle Vaha-Jaakkola from @spacenation and asked him about growth obstacles. His response... "I would say that growth obstacles are ultimately always internal.... a venture to outer space is a venture to inner space" ๐Ÿ‘‰bit.ly/3hG93lA #space #Entrepreneur

Did you know there are over 100 million bits of space debris in low earth orbit? NZ takes its role as a responsible space actor seriously; anything launched from here must comply with international debris mitigation standards. Have a read here; mbie.govt.nz/assets/orbital-โ€ฆ Gif: ESA

The sad reality is that nanosats and picosats still have an extremely high failure rate upon delivery to orbit. Occasionally you will see a press release about a major success, but most of the time there is silence. ๐Ÿ‘‰bit.ly/35GYPyR #space #cubesat #nanosat #picosat

When talking about nanosat power, there will always be trade-offs. In the 3rd part of this interview series, I talked with Michael Bretti about why #nanosatellites don't need much power to do a lot in LEO. ๐Ÿ‘‰ bit.ly/32CQBGp #space #nanotechnology #cubesat #satellite

Part 2 of the deep-dive interview with @SovereignMoonHQ, exploring some of the challenges not only with miniaturization in the field of EP, but some of the personal challenges I face myself in this development with AIS, which you have all witnessed first hand here as it happens!
This is crazy. Michael Bretti is a one-man #space propulsion company. He literally has to do everything himself: Thruster design, #electronics, research, analysis, testing diagnostics and infrastructure. Wow๐Ÿ‘‰bit.ly/3i7UYOE #enetrepreneur #cubesat #STEM #satellite
