As we gear up to celebrate Independence Day, TransAstra is thrilled to announce a significant milestone: we've acquired 2 new patents, bringing our total to 14! Our latest patents include: 1️⃣ Systems and Methods for Radiant Gas Dynamic Mining of Permafrost (Pat. No. 12025006) 2️⃣ Omnivorous Solar Thermal Thruster, Cooling Systems, and Thermal Energy Transfer in Rockets (Pat. No. 12025078) These patents mark key milestones in our mission to revolutionize space technology. We are immensely proud of our team’s dedication and hard work in making these advancements possible. Radiant Gas Dynamic Mining of Permafrost is a way to harvest water vapor and other volatile chemicals from the Moon for making rocket propellant and other critical consumables to support a human outpost. The 2nd patent is for key features and claims covering our Omnivore solar thermal rocket. Omnivore promises nuclear rocket like performance without the cost and risk of nuclear reactors.

"The space station has suffered minor damage from debris over the years, but astronauts have yet to be injured. Space junk is a growing concern, however, as the amount of satellites and fragments of satellites have both grown dramatically in the past decade." - Mack, Eric. "ISS Astronauts Take Shelter After Russian Spacecraft Breaks Up In Orbit". Forbes. At TransAstra, we recognize the urgency of addressing this issue. That's why we're developing the FlyTrap Capture Bag, a solution designed to remediate space debris by capturing it effectively. Currently in the demo stage, FlyTrap will significantly improve the future of space sustainability. FlyTrap not only aims to clear space debris will capture asteroids, paving the way for a cleaner and safer space environment. Forbes Article: https://lnkd.in/grwUNnSw

We were thrilled to demonstrate our latest iteration of FlyTrap Capture Bag on our FlyTrap test bed to our investors from Helium-3 Ventures today represented by: Matthew Bellamy, John Dauer, and David Hendrickson. A huge shoutout to our incredible engineering team for their dedication and hard work in bringing us closer to our goals. This achievement marks a significant step forward in our journey towards revolutionizing space resource utilization. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to evolve and reach for the stars! 🚀 ✨
