Loft Orbital’s Post

Congratulations to Boeing, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and all of the industry partners on their incredible success in launching and docking with the ISS. I take pride in knowing that we have built so many complex system that play an important role in the process. This is a reminder of the limitless possibilities that lie ahead. #SpaceExploration #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork"

Thanks to the team at NASA Ames Research Center for a great visit. Did you know our #aeronautics team is leaning forward to transform the future of airspace operations? Researchers presented the long-running efforts in aeronautics at Ames that have helped lay the foundation for NASA’s work related to #wildfire response. These include a project to help integrate #drones into the airspace with Unmanned Aircraft Systems Traffic Management, their application to disaster response with the Scalable Traffic Management for Emergency Response Operations project, and how those informed NASA’s newest effort to make wildfire response more targeted and adaptable. The research and models the team are building today are enabling that future. #nasa #research #technology #unmannedaircraft

Science is beautiful by nature.

This week at NASA! 🚀 NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration 🛰️🌍 Exciting Updates from NASA This Week! 🌟🔭 NASA is making strides in space exploration and technology. Here's a snapshot of the latest developments: 🔍 Artificial Intelligence Advances: NASA is exploring the vast potential of AI to enhance space missions, from optimizing spacecraft operations to improving data analysis for deep space exploration. ✈️ Supersonic Aircraft Milestone: Their supersonic aircraft project has achieved a key milestone, moving us closer to faster and more efficient air travel. 📦 Future Commercial Resupply: The latest commercial resupply spacecraft has arrived at Kennedy Space Center, a critical step for maintaining reliable supply chains to the International Space Station. Stay tuned for more groundbreaking innovations from NASA!

GAO REPORT: THE GAP! It is time to accept the reality that the curse of aerospace regulators is the ever-growing quantitative and qualitative gap between required and available human resources. A widening gap that the continuous technological progress makes impossible to fill with current organizational schemes, including self-certification. It is time to consider alternate models such as the private certification services used since centuries in shipbuilding. Another possibility is to outsource such services to NASA. (let's not forget that the current commercial crew vehicles from SpaceX and Boeing, as well as the future commercial space stations, are all NASA certified). Currently, there is no offer of such services? Well, it is necessary to create the conditions for them to exist.

'Nowcasts' illustrate risk in real time. ⏱️ This model from NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration is a powerful risk assessment tool for governments, relief agencies, emergency responders, and other stakeholders to help them understand landslide risk. ➡️ https://bit.ly/3x6rmch

A Better Way to Flow Test Water...

Space exploration must be peaceful because we have to ground on Earth the agressive. Problem is that everyone is developing Spacecraft. When it wasnonly the US it was peaceful. Now we have to keep this legacy with this new scenario. https://lnkd.in/gydcnqfq Let us allow only the Gentle to take off. We need a new system on the Moon. We must have____________. Because Competition and Capitalism is not disable because we need a Darwinism but we can not have criminality and marginalisation. I can not explain these in one minute without sinning so I am only grasping an idea and provoking thought: do we be like Japan in Space? That is the best we have so far. Constitutionally in Peace at least. https://lnkd.in/g-qsD9tB We must not be World eaters.

She was a great launch on a great day! Two payloads - two orbits! NEONSAT-1 will perform Earth-observation of the Korean Peninsula for KAIST, which will then pair the satellite’s data with artificial intelligence to monitor for natural disasters in the region. NEONSAT-1 is the first of 11 satellites for KAIST’s planned constellation to image the Korean Peninsula several times daily. NASA’s ACS3 technology demonstration uses composite materials - or a combination of materials with different properties, in its novel, lightweight booms that deploy from a CubeSat to support a solar sail. Just as a sailboat is powered by wind in a sail, solar sails employ the pressure of sunlight for propulsion, eliminating the need for conventional rocket propellant. Data obtained from the ACS3 demonstration will guide the design of future larger-scale composite solar sail systems that could be used for space weather early warning satellites, near-Earth asteroid reconnaissance missions, or communications relays for crewed exploration missions.
