RECORD BREAKING FUNDRAISING FOR UNSEENLABS A SUCCESS STORY Unseenlabs announce the closure of a record-breaking €85 million fundraising ! This operation, one of the most significant in the field of Earth observation, highlights the scope of a disruptive technology and leadership position in maritime surveillance. At the heart of this success is a proprietary technology, which enables precise geolocation of ships at sea, including those operating under the radar, known as "Dark Ships". What sets this technology apart is the ability to detect any vessel, even those attempting to remain unseen. With 11 satellites in orbit at 520 kilometers altitude and 10 more planned by the end of 2025, we are continuously enhancing their ability to deliver crucial data for maritime security, anti-piracy efforts, and environmental protection. This funding round will accelerate our growth, with strategic investments in launching additional satellites, expanding into key international markets, and developing new solutions to strengthen the technological edge. Financing was provided by SuperNova, ISALT, CIC Ouest and advised by Barclays Investment Bank Created by 3 brothers in Rennes (France) the company aims to to reach 100 million € turnover. Considering all new threats appearing on the sea worldwide this solution is more than expected by shipping and insurance companies. #Unseenlabs #maritimesurveillance #rfsignaldetection #disruptivetechnology # airspace Clément Galic Jonathan GALIC Bpifrance #strategic Cannelle Gaucher Laurent Piccoli Etienne Moreau European Space Agency - ESA SpaceX NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

SpaceX conducts first private spacewalk; key details A team of four astronauts on Thursday performed first private spacewalk in orbit from a SpaceX capsule as a part of the Polaris Dawn mission donning new series of spacesuits. It marked the debut of the first-ever extravehicular activity (EVA) utilizing commercially developed equipment, innovative procedures, and the brand-new SpaceX EVA suit. "Building a base on the Moon and a city on Mars will require thousands of spacesuits. The development of this suit, and the EVA performed on this mission, will be important steps toward a scalable design for spacesuits on future long-duration missions," Elon Musk's SpaceX said in a post on X. Sharing a video of one of the astronauts, the space company said, "Commander Jared Isaacman has egressed Dragon and is going through the first of three suit mobility tests that will test overall hand body control, vertical movement with Skywalker, and foot restraint Watch the Live in: https://lnkd.in/gWYYpews #kritsai #cybertron7 #Technology #Tech #Innovation #AI #DigitalTransformation #Cybersecurity #CloudComputing #DataScience #BigData #IoT #MachineLearning #Blockchain #Fintech #TechTrends #Startups

The article just out by The Times Of India gives a glimpse of capability on our very own Ground Station developed completely indegionusly by Small-Spacecraft Systems and Payload Centre | SSPACE - IIST-ISRO group housed at Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology. Most of my work involves propulsion systems and launch vehicles but the technology and work scope inherently require a multi-disciplinary understanding of support systems. Ground Station is an integral part of that process. Whether it is tracking satellites or tracking the launch trajectory of the rocket. With the proven capacity of satellite telemetry control, communications, and tracking, we will shortly start developing the capacity of the ground station to control and track launch vehicle systems. #isro #iist #sspace #rocketscience #rocketry
