Choosing the best cleanroom wipes isn’t rocket science - unless, of course, rocket scientists are using them! 🚀 Check out this short video of a NASA spacecraft being prepped at the Jet Propulsion Labs cleanroom in Southern CA before heading to FL for launch. Whether you're in a lab or launching a spacecraft, you can feel confident knowing that the brightest minds in aerospace trust our products too. First person to identify the Texwipe wipe at the 0:58 mark wins a Texwipe notebook and swag bag! https://lnkd.in/eCYqYFi5 #Cleanroom #Innovation #NASA #Texwipe #RocketScience #Microelectronics #Semiconductor #Quality #CleanerThanClean #ScienceAndTechnology #IndustryStandard #Reliability

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

The #Vega-C rocket will soon launch from the Launch base in French Guyana. #Avio is leading a industrial #European team which include #Nammo #Raufoss of #Norway. The payload is the #EU financed radar satellite #Sentinel1C. The satellite is an important part of the #European #Copernicus program of #EarthObservation spacecraft! Photo: model of the Vega rocket!

We always find a way! Sometimes it just takes years, Sometimes we are just stubborn. There are nearly 30,000 pieces—and includes only the pieces that are trackable In-space servicing, assembly and manufacturing (ISAM) capabilities are needed now to surpass throwaway mentalities when considering spacecraft and satellite lifecycles — this paradigm shift will enable the in-space environment to continue expanding 🌐 https://lnkd.in/e5SDWKFK 🌐 Video source: https://lnkd.in/eJ6nHSnB #SpaceDebris #SpaceSustainability #cubesats #cubesat #spacetechnology #newspace
