All project managers have a bit of ego about them and think they're the best. If that's you, just remember there's always someone doing something bigger and better than you. Unless you are Sreedhara Panicker Somanath & his team who landed a spacecraft on the South Pole of the moon - you are completely entitled to think you're the best! #projectmanagement #riskmanagement

In the past, Superior Thread Rolling has discussed the importance of on-time delivery and some strategies that we have to meet our customers’ deadlines. In our latest blog post (linked in the comments), we go over why delivering on time is so important–especially in spacecraft manufacturing. #SpaceCraftManufacturing #ThreadRolling #OnTimeDelivery

In case you missed it. Breakthrough momentje: ‘The Raptor engines are key to SpaceX's vision of making humanity a multiplanetary species, as they will enable Starship to carry up to 100 people and 150 tons of cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond’. The 33 Raptor engines on Super Heavy will provide a total thrust of about 7,590 tons-force (16.7 million pounds-force) In comparison, the Saturn V rocket that powered the Apollo missions in the 70ies generated 34.5 million newtons (7.6 million pounds) of thrust at launch and could carry a load of 50 tons.

Collaboration is essential to get space done! Partnerships are the key to accelerating the development of space crafts and habitats. Let's work together to achieve greater things in space exploration. #Collaboration #SpaceDevelopment #Partnerships #weareinthistogether #weareone #Belcanengineeringsolutions #spacerace #askmehow #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #belcan

Gas stations... in space? Spacecraft need to refuel to extend their mission lifetimes. Orbit Fab is fulfilling that need. 👉 Orbit Fab enables satellites and other spacecraft to be refueled in space. Its main product is the Rapidly Attachable Fluid Transfer Interface, or RAFTI, which is an interface designed to seamlessly integrate with satellites and spacecraft, allowing the vehicles to dock and refuel mid-flight. 💰 After setting up a RAFTI connection, clients can directly buy fuel from Orbit Fab. 📈 Raised $28.5 million Series A from investors like Tribe Capital, Techstars, Stride Capital, 8090 Industries, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Good Growth Capital, Industrious Ventures, and more 👬 Daniel Faber - Co-Founder, CEO Read the full article on our website 🦄 #aerospace #spacetech #startups #venturecapital #entrepreneurship

In Q2 2023, smallsats represented 97% of spacecraft launched and 62% of total upmass. This includes ➡️Femto (.01-.09) ➡️Pico (.1-1) ➡️Nano (1.1-10) ➡️Micro (11-200) ➡️Mini (201-600) Download more quarterly launch data: https://lnkd.in/gq6r_Jh #BryceBriefing #Smallsats

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
