The future of Starship includes national security missions

"As SpaceX prepares to attempt Starship’s first orbital flight, the company is contemplating military applications for the super-heavy launch vehicle.

Starship holds the potential to become a mobility platform for the U.S. military, said Gary Henry, senior advisor for national security space solutions at SpaceX.

Speaking Feb. 21 at the Space Mobility conference, Henry said the experience SpaceX will gain launching Starlink satellites on Starship and developing the vehicle for NASA’s Artemis program will help the U.S. military better understand how to employ it for cargo delivery and other missions."

China unveils lunar lander to put astronauts on the moon

"China has revealed a concept for a lunar lander it hopes will put astronauts on the moon around the end of the decade.

A model of the Chinese lunar lander was unveiled at an exhibition to mark three decades of China’s human spaceflight program Feb. 24 at the National Museum of China in Beijing.

The model shows that China is working on a staged descent concept, which differs from the Apollo landings. A propulsion stage will be used for most of the descent, before the lander segment completes a powered descent and soft landing on the lunar surface."

Abbott Budget Proposal Recommends $350 Million for Texas Space Commission

"Texas has been the leading state in space exploration and innovation, and a recent assurance from Gov. Greg Abbott seeks to continue that dominance into the future.
Abbott released his budget proposal for the 88th Legislative Session recommending that $350 million be provided for the creation of the Texas Space Commission.

The allocated funds will be used “to support the development of a coordinated strategic plan that will position Texas as a global leader in space travel, research, and technology,” stated Abbott in his budget document.

Texas has a projected $32.7 billion dollar surplus in its budget of $188.2 billion available in general revenue that can be used to fund these types of projects."

Interview with Bernard Harris, the 1st African-American spacewalker

"Improving STEM education for kids across the nation is Harris' "terrestrial mission."

"Harris was part of NASA's 13th astronaut class, which the agency selected in 1990. He became an astronaut in 1991 and flew for the first time two years later, racking up 10 days off Earth on the space shuttle Columbia's STS-55 mission.

He launched for the second and final time in February 1995, on the STS-63 mission of the shuttle Discovery. It was on this flight that Harris carved his name into the history books: On Feb. 9, he took a lengthy excursion outside Discovery, becoming the first African-American ever to perform a spacewalk."

The next space frontier: your backyard

"The cosmos is becoming accessible to new space programs around the globe, to entrepreneurs, innovators, researchers, and students. The next big event in the story will unveil political, economic, and social implications across a much broader spectrum with a geographic redistribution of space activities. The trend has gained momentum in the US, where the space economy is scaling beyond traditional hubs.

Until recently, most space-related activities revolved near NASA centers such as the ones in Florida, Texas, and California. There are thousands of space companies across the entire space value chain in the United States. Thriving commercial space activity is now easily observed across the country. There are exciting space startups in states such as Arizona, Hawaii, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Utah, and the list continues. Several factors explain the recent phenomenon; below are our two cents on the matter, having seen hundreds of pitch decks recently and through our experience talking to founders, fellow investors, government officials, and other stakeholders."

NASA to Launch Israel’s First Space Telescope

"NASA will launch Israel’s first space telescope mission, the Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT). ULTRASAT, an ultraviolet observatory with a large field of view, will investigate the secrets of short-duration events in the universe, such as supernova explosions and mergers of neutron stars.

Led by the Israel Space Agency and Weizmann Institute of Science, ULTRASAT is planned for launch into geostationary orbit around Earth in early 2026. In addition to providing the launch service, NASA will also participate in the mission’s science program."

Space Force: Smaller launchers made case to compete for national security contracts

"The newly released a draft request for proposals for National Security Space Launch Phase 3 contracts was heavily influenced by new players in the launch industry that want a seat at the table and are investing in launch systems the government wants to leverage, Purdy told SpaceNews at the Space Mobility conference."

"The draft solicitation lays out a dual-track approach for the next NSSL round of contracts to be awarded in 2024. The first one, called Lane 1, allows “on-ramps” for newer launch companies that would have been left out if the Space Force had stuck with the NSSL Phase 2 approach that only selected two providers — United Launch Alliance and SpaceX — for five-year contracts."

Opinion | Inflation’s squeeze on space and national security contracts

"Moving into 2023, the signs of economic health for the country are increasingly mixed. Every day the markets seem to swing drastically back and forth on the latest news about energy prices, China’s productivity, the Russian war in Ukraine, enduringly high inflation, the debt ceiling, and overall public sentiment about the state of the economy. For short-sellers and day-traders, the pessimism and volatility may be great – but for everyone else, and for our critical aerospace industrial base, these challenges continue to hit very hard."

AI startup using satellite imagery to trace the path of Chinese balloon

"Days after a Chinese spy balloon was shot down by the U.S. military off the coast of South Carolina, AI startup Synthetaic backtracked the balloon’s trajectory across the continental United States using Earth imaging data from Planet Labs satellites.

Synthetaic founder Corey Jaskolski said this is a novel way to use commercial satellite imagery to track aerial vehicles that might not be seen by radar or by ground observers. It’s also another way to exploit open-source data to independently confirm where the Chinese balloon or other objects came from, he said. “The map we put together overlays our sightings and all the social media reports of where the balloon was.”

Space Force to change how it buys national security launches

"The U.S. Space Force on Feb. 16 released its procurement strategy for the next national security launch services contracts expected to be awarded in 2024.

The Space Systems Command issued two draft requests for proposals for National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Phase 3. This is a “dual-lane acquisition approach” that marks a departure from the previous NSSL Phase 2 procurement and is intended to create more opportunities for emerging launch providers."
