ClearSpace-1 Mission Changes in Response to Debris Collision The ClearSpace-1 debris removal mission has undergone a transformative period to achieve a faster execution pace and reviewed mission objectives. After the successful completion of its mission’s first phase, the detection of space debris objects in the vicinity of the mission’s client object, which indicates a collision of the target with untraceable debris, and the need for a change towards a more expedited and cost-effective approach prompted a pivot in the next stage of the ClearSpace-1 mission.

Catch up on the latest from this week’s ISO - International Organization for Standardization Plenary session on Space Systems and Operations. Dan Oltrogge delivered insightful recommendations on standards—from Space Traffic Coordination (STC) to on-orbit and launch collision avoidance, conjunction assessment, and data sharing. Many standards are being developed at various stages, while discussions continue on which standardization to focus our development efforts on. These global discussions on standardization of best practices are pivotal for satellite operators around the globe to improve operations and safety and to establish expected norms of behavior for space operations. #Space #SpaceTechnology

Famous Seal Disaster In History: Space Shuttle Challenger 🚀 The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster occurred on January 28, 1986, and is one of the most famous incidents involving seal failure. 😓 During launch, a rupture in the solid rocket booster's fuel tank led to the loss of control and destruction of the shuttle. The cause was traced back to the failure of seals due to low temperatures, which prevented proper sealing and led to fuel leakage. This tragedy prompted significant changes in safety protocols, including improved pre-launch checks and more rigorous component testing. 👆 That is why it is so important to take care when specifying a sealing component for a system, even if it is a simple seal. 📌 Effects such as temperature, speed, dimensions, material properties, etc. should always be carefully considered. Stay tuned for more details in our upcoming post. Foto: https://lnkd.in/dPd66Tkq #seals #oring #ShuttleChallenger #history #temperature

Additional four characteristics: 1. System of navigation antenna supports ("SYSTEM ANTENNAS SUPPORT") 2. "SYSTEM SPACE CONTROL VISION" complex space representation system 3. "CONNECT NTL" special communication system 4. "PASSENGER AIR CLIMATE" passenger climate control system

This is what satellites in #LEO are facing: About 70% of all objects in Lower Earth Orbit are trash. Nonfunctional satellites, former upper stages of rockets, fragments from accidental collisions and ASAT tests. “About 24% of the catalogued objects are satellites (less than a third of which are operational)” (ESA 2022) Now, Astroscale published the first picture on a piece of debris: #spacedebris #space #spacesustainability #SSA #ADR

The complex issue of managing space debris and Space Situational Awareness has gripped the satellite industry for many years. In this article for SatellitePro Middle East, Lorenzo Arona of the Space Data Association reviews the current state of Space Traffic Management as well as the latest initiatives being launched to confront the challenges of debris mitigation and data sharing.

📡 The teams at Fraunhofer FHR are on duty following closely the reentry of a piece of #spacedebris, a battery pack released in 2021 from the International Space Station. 📉 The reentry will happen sometime within the next few hours ⏳.  👇 Below one of the last images of the car-sized debris hurtling towards the Earth. The image was obtained with the 34-m Tracking and Imaging #radar #TIRA. 📷 Here is a picture of the object taken upon its release from the ISS: https://lnkd.in/ex9rftXs 🔎 Space debris reenters the atmosphere as often as few times per week. Most of the associated fragments burn up much before reaching the ground. TIRA data are regularly used to support the joint Space Situational Awareness Center #GSSAC, 🇩🇪 federal authorities, as well as international partners. #SpaceRadar #SpaceSituationalAwareness #ssa

How do we approach sustainability in space? It may seem like an infinite depository for our aerospace by-products, but key-industry players like Astroscale recognize the need to use ecological best practices even when exploring the stars 🌌 🛰 ☄ #mbse #systemsengineering #catia #modeling #MBSEtraining #aerospace #sustainabilityinspace #incose INCOSE
