Over half of #RocketLab's revenue 💵 now comes from its #SpaceSystems division, which builds #satellites 🛰️, avionics, solar ☀️ arrays and flight computers 💻 for #DeepSpace. The #Electron rocket 🚀 became the fastest launch vehicle to reach 50 missions in June 2024. #Neutron will be capable of launching probes to #Mars 🔴 and other deep-space destinations. space.com/space-exploration/if

It is not clear what the #NuclearReactor will power. A reactor would be useful for long-term stays on the #moon, but #NASA’s plans do not specify when a base might be built nytimes.com/2025/08/04/science

#ISRU : 99 percent of the weight of the materials required to produce #SolarCells on the #Moon 🌙 no longer need to be transported there. “These solar cells require ultrathin absorber layers of 500 to 800 nanometers only, allowing the fabrication of 400 square meter solar cells with just one kilogram of perovskite raw material brought from Earth” uni-potsdam.de/en/headlines-an

Space has increasingly become indispensible in the terrestrial battle. In all current conflicts exploitation of space is extensive. The future is tending towards space to space and space to earth battles. However the important issue is that space remains the toughest place to exist. It places extreme demands on technology. What succeeds in space will succeed in the battle field.

🔋#Nature 📆 06 December 2022 #ESA is developing a #battery for #space missions that is powered by #nuclear waste. #Americium has a longer half-life than plutonium-238, which means it lasts #longer but packs less #power per gram. But because americium is more readily available, producing one watt of power #costs about one-fifth as much as it does using #plutonium. Tests will include monitoring the behaviour of components at high temperatures and under #impact — for example, during an #explosion 💥 on the #launchpad — to ensure that #radioactive ☢️ material would not leak nature.com/articles/d41586-022

Space-based solar ☀️ power (#SBSP) - beaming clean #energy to #Earth from orbital #solar farms.

The #UK 🇬🇧, #US 🇺🇸 and #Chinese 🇨🇳 governments are funding research, #ESA 🇪🇺 has approved a 3-year study named #Solaris.

One reason that #SPSB is back on the agenda is the plummeting #cost per kilogram of launching #payloads into #space.
Thanks to #reusable #rockets, this figure has fallen nearly 20-fold in two decades, while solar panels have become #lighter. abc.net.au/news/science/2022-1
