you have NGOs, corporations for resource extraction, tourists/travelers and wealthy people even in the most shithole countries
so the market might not be that big depending on the country but I don't think its going to cost much to SpaceX
they don't do local support and installation (or much support at all for commercial users if I understand correctly)
this is just basically sending a dish and then the receiver paying for it
if the laws aren't completely retarded, there is not much reason not to do it

I'm curious, have there been any studies done on the potential economic benefits/outcomes of Starlink access in third-world and developing cunts? I know that the proliferation of cellphones in rural Africa over the last 10 - 15 years has resulted in useful things such as farmers being better able to keep track of up-to-date prices at different markets, which allows them to sell their produce at the market where they'll get the best return for it.

Not necessarily Starlink, but having IoT farms with greenhouses and tractors hooked up to the internet allows it all to be automated and give better yields or something. But IoT is just a meme grift for sucking up money like 3D printing.

Probably, but youll have to search it. The economic benefits of Starlink in rural area is completely obvious.

New Glenn is exactly as tall as SLS, so you'd need a building that's VAB tall to handle vertical integration. Blue has no plans to build anything even close to that. They'd also need a way to transport the rocket vertically and they don't have that either.

Why tf is it so hard to find information about the performance of electric thrusters and their propellants, has it seriously never been done or is it just not on the internet? I just want to be able to compare thruster types, propellant characteristics, and thrust/voltage curves for electric propulsion systems the same way I can intuitively compare GG/Expander/FRSC/ORSC/FFSC engines, hypergolics vs kerolox vs methalox vs hydrolox, etc.

My suspicion is that sodium metal may actually be the goat electric thruster propellant in terms of $/kms^-1 of delta V, ie in every practical sense. It's decently dense too, is easy store and handle in an oxygen free environment, and it's likely common enough to be sourced locally almost everywhere.

Yes, so what is the image trying to convey by showing the asteroid's gravity well to be several times wider than Mars'?

They should all be equally wide, since infinitely wide isn't an option. This would make it clear that the depth of the gravity wells is the difference being illustrated.

China’s commercial launch firms get space station cargo boost
---
https://spacenews.com/chinas-commercial-launch-firms-get-space-station-cargo-boost/
> HELSINKI — China’s human spaceflight agency says the country’s commercial rocket companies could launch low-cost cargo missions in the future.
> The China Manned Space Engineering Office (CMSEO) opened a call for proposals for a low-cost cargo transportation system to supply the Tiangong space station in May this year. Four from a total of 10 submitted proposals meeting requirements were selected to proceed to the detailed design study phase in September.
> Despite submissions from commercial companies, the chosen proposals came from entities belonging to state-owned enterprises.
> “Each of these companies is developing rockets with a carrying capacity of 4 tons to 6 tons [to low Earth orbit],” Lin said. “The overall cost performance is very high.”
> Chinese commercial launch companies developing rockets in this payload capability range or beyond include Landspace (Zhuque-2, already flown), Space Pioneer (Tianlong-3), Galactic Energy (Pallas-1) and Orienspace (Gravity-1).
> Tomas Hrozensky, a senior research fellow at the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI), told SpaceNews earlier this year that the CMSEO program is a clear indication that China is seeking to replicate the approach which yielded NASA a major success.
> Lin also stated that CMSEO had solicited proposals for a lunar rover for the country’s crewed lunar missions. China is aiming to land a pair of astronauts on the moon before 2030.
> More than 40 entities formed 14 joint teams to submit formal intentions, Lin said. Of the submitted proposals, 11 teams have passed the first round review and proceed for further evaluation.

NASA emphasizes need for mission authorization, U.S. and Chinese officials meet to discuss space safety

> LAS VEGAS — Ongoing development of a regulatory framework for overseeing new commercial space activity is critical to NASA’s long-term exploration plans that will rely increasing on the private sector, the agency’s deputy administrator said.
> “We are leaning heavily on our commercial partners. Our industry needs a clear, timely and consistent path to success and safety,” she said, citing “the risk to all space activities of not having some form of coordinated oversight that has clarity for both NASA and the industry.”

> LAS VEGAS — American and Chinese officials met recently to discuss space situational awareness (SSA) data, part of broader efforts by the U.S. to better understand emerging national SSA systems.
> Sandra Magnus, chief engineer for the Office of Space Commerce’s Traffic Coordination System for Space, or TraCSS, said the head of the office, Richard DalBello, met with Chinese counterparts on the sidelines of the International Astronautical Congress in Baku, Azerbaijan, earlier this month.
> “TraCSS envisions the future of SSA to be a globally federated system of providers with a series of interconnected national or regional hubs providing SSA information and services to spacecraft operators,” DalBello said in a statement to SpaceNews Oct. 24. “The first steps in implementing such a vision would be to engage in a broad international dialogue focused on standards and best practices, and this dialogue should be coordinated with the ongoing work of the UN on long-term sustainability.”

Senate Confirms Mike Whitaker as FAA Administrator, Aalyria Plans to Deploy Laser Terminals at Sea

> The FAA finally has a permanent leader after an 18-month vacancy.
>The Senate voted 98-0 to approve the nomination of former FAA deputy Mike Whitaker to serve a five-year term as head of the agency, which has a hand in overseeing the commercial space industry.
---
https://payloadspace.com/aalyria-plans-to-deploy-laser-terminals-at-sea/
> Aalyria is building a mesh network of laser links to quickly transmit data across land, air, sea, and space. The sea-based piece of that plan is about to get a boost.
> Yesterday, the DC-based laser comms networking company announced that it signed an MoU with HICO Investment Group, which focuses investment in shipping and logistics companies. Under the agreement, Aalyria will deploy up to 200 of its Tightbeam laser terminals aboard ships in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean.
> Meshing well: Aalyria emerged from stealth last year with a trove of IP acquired from Alphabet and a plan to revolutionize connectivity. The company has two products:
> 1) Tightbeam, a laser terminal that can transmit 100 Gbps per wavelength in both directions simultaneously. The terminal can attach to terrestrial, maritime, airborne, and space platforms.
> 2) Spacetime, a network orchestration software that charts the most efficient route for a piece of data over large networks. The company has a contract with Rivada Space Networks to orchestrate communication over its planned 600-bird constellation.
> Aalyria’s approach to laser comms could eliminate the need to lay miles of fiber-optic cable or to tap into a purely satellite network for fast connectivity.
>“It’s kind of like going from copper to fiber, back in the day,” Aalyria CEO Chris Taylor told Payload. “This is a really big inflection point for connectivity.”

The FTC right now is run by leftists who don't even care about consumer welfare; they'd never agree to let SpaceX expand. Maybe under a Republican administration, but even that seems unlikely. The only realistic way that I can see for SpaceX to raise the necessary capital would be a Starlink ipo, but they'd probably get more value out of dumping that money into R&D. Taking over Boeing doesn't accomplish very much since Boeing's decades behind them in space, unless Musk wants to go into the airline business.

from what I remember of his videos his arguments boiled down to "I doubt they will do this and the industry doesn't do this therefore spacex can't do it". He never made a single point that stuck, and while you may not believe me, I am actually critical of Starship like any other rocket design. He simply failed to point out anything that makes Starship a bad design.

Rocket Launch Company ULA Is Ready-Made for a Buy, CEO Says
---
https://archive (dot) ph/20231025194220/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-25/ula-ceo-says-his-space-launch-firm-is-ready-made-for-a-buy
> United Launch Alliance LLC’s chief executive officer views his firm as an attractive acquisition target given its deep backlog, reliable profits and a new rocket poised to challenge SpaceX.
> “If I were buying a space business, I’d go look at ULA,” CEO Tory Bruno said in an interview at Bloomberg’s headquarters in New York. “It’s already had all the hard work done through the transformation. You’re not buying a Victorian with bad plumbing. It’s all been done. You’re coming in at the end of the remodel, so you can focus on your future.”
> Bruno declined to comment on whether or not ULA is looking for a prospective buyer. “The only scenario where I would be able to talk about an M&A is after it happened and it was announced,” he said about a merger or acquisition.
> Bruno said that ULA’s corporate structure has been a challenge for the company’s decision-making over the years. United Launch Alliance is a joint venture between defense heavyweights and competitors Lockheed Martin Corp. and Boeing Co. They formed ULA in 2006 to provide assured access to space for the US Department of Defense’s satellites.
> “Our ownership structure is complicated,” Bruno said. “It has served us well up to this point. But I would not tell you that it’s agile.” Any sale of ULA would be have to be decided by its board, which Bruno isn’t part of. The board seats are equally split between Lockheed and Boeing.

> When it was formally announced in 2015, Vulcan was supposed to fly as early as 2019. But its launch date has been pushed again and again, in large part due to late delivery of Blue Origin’s BE-4 engine.
> “I planned on them being about a year late, and I had accommodations for them being two years late,” Bruno said. “And it’s been more like three years late.”
> After delivering its first engines to ULA in late 2022, Blue Origin has now moved to the production phase of engine making, with plans to ramp up over the coming years, Bruno said. Ultimately, Bruno wants Blue Origin to deliver one BE-4 a week, but at the moment he says the company is averaging one BE-4 every month. Bruno said he spoke to Bezos earlier this month about the company’s production.
> Right now, ULA is targeting a three-day launch window for its first launch of Vulcan that spans from Dec. 24 to 26. For this mission, ULA has an instantaneous launch window each day, meaning Vulcan must launch within a one-second time frame or push to the next day.
> If all goes well with its December debut, ULA aims to fly as many as seven Vulcan launches in 2024, depending on deliveries of its payloads. Then in the first half of 2025, the company plans to double that cadence, leading to a pattern of launches every two weeks later that year.
> “We’re in a really great position with a very, very large backlog of orders,” Bruno said. “We’re profitable – really the only launch company in the world that is consistently profitable.”

Insurance is a scam. Take fire insurance for example. You are essentially betting a huge sum of money that your house will be fire damaged one day, soon enough that the payout will be greater than what you've paid the company, AND that the insurance company won't find some bullshit reason to deny that they owe you anything as much as possible for as long as possible (which they absolutely will do).

ULA doesn't build any of their propulsion systems. Tanks are cheap and simple. The Michoud factory is impressive but all the tooling in it is for building Vulcan. Apart from that it's just a big building and you can buy or build those anywhere. The only thing of value about ULA is their NSSL-2 that they still haven't managed to launch. If you buy them, you buy their launch obligations, just like how Boeing got the Delta III's 12 Huges Space launches when they ate McDonnell Douglas. 60% of NSSL-2 is twenty high-priced government payloads for the low cost of ULA's 5-7 billion dollar evaluation. SpaceX can't make an offer for sole-source reasons but I can't see Blue Origin not being interested, given how thirsty for government money Bezos is.

What? Shitloads of American companies make big planes, dude. Northrop, Locksneed, and about a dozen startups can handle wingman drones if you are worried about fighters. As for cargo and transport planes that's most Locksneed as well, and Airbus too since Airbus has a factory in the US now and is planning on producing A-400's to replace parts of the aging C-130 fleet. Oh, and you got shit like the Liberty Lifter which could be build by literally anyone since we got no idea who would actually be in the running.

Rocket Lab projects Electron return to flight in fourth quarter, Rocket Lab expects to resume Electron launches before year-end after September failure
---
https://spacenews.com/rocket-lab-projects-electron-return-to-flight-in-fourth-quarter/
> LAS VEGAS — Rocket Lab is preparing to return its Electron rocket to flight before the end of the year as it completes an investigation into a launch failure in September.
> In an Oct. 25 statement, the company said it received authorization from the Federal Aviation Administration to resume launches under its existing launch license from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand.
> Those launches have been on hold since the failure of the most recent Electron launch Sept. 19. In that launch, the engine in the upper stage appeared to shut down moments after ignition, based on telemetry displayed during the launch webcast. The failure resulted in the loss of a Capella Space synthetic aperture radar imaging satellite.
> The authorization from the FAA does not mean the investigation is complete. Rocket Lab said in the statement that it was completing a “meticulous review” into the root cause of the failure. That review, the company said, should be done in the coming weeks, allowing Electron launches to resume before the end of the year.

> The company expects its review “to be completed in the coming weeks.”

> NC3 is short for nuclear command, control and communications, a network intended to ensure that national command authorities can maintain secure control of strategic forces on land, at sea and in the air even during a nuclear war.

>But there are signs that Ariane needs to reform. This company is a scandal. When are they going to understand that their company is not immortal, that the level of competence is exploding at European and world level? The management of this company oscillates between denial and sleep. They were laughing when Elon Musk arrived. He's made 63 launches in 9 months. The presentation of Vega's position is laughable. For the past 15 years, everyone has been asking Ariane to reform, and Ariane continues to evolve at the pace of a planned administration. Vega is right to draw the necessary conclusions. It tears my guts out to say this, but Ariane's forties and fifties today are not on the same level as the conquerors who preceded them. They're in a drunken boat and in formaldehyde. Need we remind you of the German successes in mini launchers in recent years? No, Vega's departure is not the will of a man. It's the consequence of Ariane's formalization. Today, Ariane should be stripped of its integrator role. It would be better to keep the assets as a test bed and launch 3 or 4 technology integration teams. The atmosphere at Ariane is incompatible with the state of the world.

>A5 flew science missions every other year at least.
And for every A5 science mission there were two on russian launchers (Starsem-Soyuz, Soyuz-Kourou or Euroko-Rokot), Cluster failed on A5, so it went on Starsem-Soyuz, and then it continued.

The case for Vega was pretty clear, it started to appear inthe late 80s, when, Ariane 4 (Ariane 4 performances increase were mostly dictated by Arianespace, not by ESA) replaced older Ariane and was becoming inneficient to launch smaller european satellite (Ariane 40 had to be only partially fueled to reach orbit), and that was only planned to become worse with A5, this was when european smallsat launchers started to appear, with ASI/BPD's Scout 2 projects as the better funded one (and the only one that actually launched once). That case was well identified, which is why the german (Eurokot) and French (Starsem) jumped on the opportunity to commercialise Russian launchers.

European small launch companies respond (to the domination of SpaceX)
----
> On 18 October, SpaceNews published an article that described how small launch companies are struggling to compete with SpaceX rideshare missions. I thought the article was poignant and insightful, but I was curious what European launch startups thought about the issue. The article included a brief comment from PLD Space and a comment from an Arianespace Vega business unit representative, and I'm not sure Vega fits into the small launch category.
> Latitude - Adeline Pitrois, Head of Sales
>“Rideshare missions and dedicated missions are two faces of the same coin: they’re complementary in the smallsat’s path to orbit. Rideshare missions could be an appropriate support to validate technology or for the proof of concept phase. Once the model is validated, they tend to transition to dedicated launches that will allow them to manage their own mission to drive their business and revenue generation. Our business model and customer success will be managed independently from SpaceX's strategy.”
> Orbex - Martin Coates, CEO
“In the enterprise IT world, there is the concept of 'Total Cost of Ownership,' which encourages executives to look beyond the top-line software or hardware costs and understand at a deeper level what other costs come with it. We need that same level of evolved thinking in the satellite launch market.
> Orbex has several launch contracts already signed, and we expect to secure more in the coming years. There is still a large backlog of small satellites waiting for launch, so the demand is very clearly still there, and it’s only going to increase over time.“

>“SpaceX is disrupting the market with low prices and high offer volume. However, small/medium-class vehicles have coexisted and will coexist with Heavy and super-heavy vehicles. Both markets exist because they cover different needs. Rockets like the Electron (Rocketlab), with a much higher price per kg, will still have demand providing dedicated launch services for smaller payloads, which can be key for certain missions such as the ones related to defense or institutional payloads preferring local players.
> SmallSpark Space Systems - Joseph Ward, CEO
>Although not directly related to SpaceX rideshare mission pricing, I thought this response to my question made for an interesting addition to the overall picture.
>“As a business, we’ve all but moved away from launch for the foreseeable future - our focus is on developing core technologies and products to support more efficient participation in the cislunar economy. A lot of our tech has transferred over - but we felt the margins in launch were too small, even for our tech, the capex requirements were too great, and we would have to rely on endless investor capital to maintain the projected operations. “

the arguments summarized
Latitude: Rideshare will be just used initially, validated satellite businesses will want to use a dedicated launcher
Orbex: Total Cost of Ownership for launching with smallsats will somehow be smaller due to less wait time, shipping, not optimal orbit
HyImpulse: price is too one-dimensional there are other metrics (rattles 10 other metrics, the top ones which are price funnily enough)
Pangea Aerospace: small/medium-class vehicles have coexist and will coexit with Heavy and super-heavy vehicles because the markets cover different needs
HyPrSpace: the rideshare customers and microlaunch customers are different
B2Space: can't compete with cost, smallsat launchers should tailor their services for the customers specific need

> MaiaSpace, Isar Aerospace, and Rocket Factory Augsburg were asked to contribute but declined.

asking the customers:

>When it came to the all-important question of whether the company would pay more to fly aboard a dedicated mission, the answer was not in the short term.
>"At the development and funding stage that we are in, no, we wouldn't pay more for a more dedicated service. In the future, for final constellation deployment, we could evaluate it."
> Another SpaceX rideshare customer that chose to remain anonymous stated it plans to regularly utilize the service in the future. It identified price, launch opportunities, and reliability as key factors for continuing to launch with SpaceX.
> When asked whether they would consider a more expensive dedicated service, the company said it would. “Depending on the actual price difference and the specifics of the premium service, we would consider it.”
> The NRL spokesperson explained that the organization had selected the SpaceX rideshare mission due to reliability, the available launch window, and the target orbit.
>When asked if it would consider a more expensive dedicated service, the spokesperson explained that it would depend on the "mission objectives."

>The Susie project goes from paper to reality. After nine months of design, ArianeGroup ignited the first demonstrator of its Susie reusable launcher upper stage project at its site in Les Mureaux, near Paris, on Wednesday October 25. At around two meters high and weighing 100 kilograms, this reduced and simplified model of the future super-fairing will enable the Airbus-Safran joint venture to develop a controlled landing system.

>To develop its future landing system, ArianeGroup is using a scale model. Four thrusters and four stabilizing fins located at the base of the shuttle support a simple shell drilled with four holes to power an oxygen-kerosene engine. The mini-Susie will initially perform hops via manual control until, after several months' training, it reaches an altitude of 2,000 meters for an autopilot landing.
The development is scheduled to last until the second quarter of 2025, followed by the commissioning of Susie's intermediate model.

>Compatible with the next Ariane 64 launcher (the four-engine version of Ariane 6) for cargo and manned flight missions, the new nose cone should also be adaptable to subsequent-generation launchers. In terms of capacity, Susie will be available in two models: an intermediate and a large model will be able to carry, respectively, a maximum payload of 3 tonnes for a 10 m3 payload bay, and 7 tonnes for a 40 m3 payload bay. Both will also be able to accommodate up to five astronauts.

>>15823038
you don't even need that necessarily, the total cost just has to be lower like they said and with spacetugs becoming a thing and with constant launches, there won't be anything left
companies might pay more for reliability, but that is not something smallsat launchers can say they have
they don't get customers because they are unproven and extremely expensive, so no launches, so no iteration on reliability
even with perfect reliability you would basically just be on par with F9 (and later Starship probably), with high enough cadence the smallsats won't have an advantage in launching quicker, with spacetugs they won't have an advantage with launching to specific orbits
there is no rational economic reason to use a smallsat launcher compared to high cadence starship + spacetug
well maybe some if you look at the hyimpulse list, these would be (late access to payload, level of service, payload access during preparation, launch site outside the US) but do people really care about that? just prepare the sat so you don't have to access it right before launch

ABL Space Systems prepares for second RS1 launch
---
https://spacenews.com/abl-space-systems-prepares-for-second-rs1-launch/
> LAS VEGAS — ABL Space Systems is moving into the final phases of preparations for the second launch of its RS1 rocket after the company’s first launch failed in January.
> In an update posted Oct. 25, Harry O’Hanley, chief executive of ABL, said the company has completed a test of the RS1 rocket it called “dock dress” at the Port of Long Beach in California. That was a dress rehearsal of launch preparations involving the rocket and its GS0 ground support equipment.
> Both the RS1 rocket and GS0 system feature upgrades since the inaugural launch failed seconds after liftoff Jan. 10 from Kodiak Island, Alaska. The company said a week after the launch that the rocket lost power about 10 seconds after liftoff, shutting down engines and causing it to crash near the launch pad.
> At the time, ABL said the loss of power was linked to a fire in the rocket’s engine compartment, but didn’t say how the fire started. O’Hanley wrote that the leading theory that emerged from the company’s investigation is that the fire is linked to the design of the launch mount, a part of the GS0 system that raises the rocket to the vertical position and lowers it back to the horizontal.
> The launch mount was made to be as compact as possible to allow it and other GS0 elements to fit into shipping containers. “While this made transport simple, it resulted in the rocket being held close to the ground,” he wrote.

weird that nobody commented on this, I think I forgot with all the shitposting
but I think what might actually happen is there will be SpaceX and then multiple private Chinese companies in number 2, 3 etc, but I guess it might not be possible for them to offer services in the west? so they won't really be competitors to american or european launchers/smallsat launchers, though there might be a market outside both
so an internal US market, an internal EU market, an internal Chinese market, an internal Indian market SpaceX and some Chinese companies competing for launches in the rest of the world (that market might be very tiny though)

CEO of rocket-maker ULA makes a sales pitch—for the whole company
--
https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/10/ceo-of-rocket-maker-ula-makes-a-sales-pitch-for-the-whole-company/
> It sure sounds like United Launch Alliance is up for sale. Tory Bruno, the rocket builder's CEO, said this week that anyone who purchased ULA would reap the rewards of the company's "transformation" over the last few years, a course change primarily driven by geopolitics and the competitive threat of SpaceX.
> Ars first reported the possibility of a ULA sale in March. At that time, sources said the deal was expected to be closed by the end of this year. It's unclear whether delays in the first Vulcan rocket launch, seen as a critical moment for ULA's future, might have impacted this timeline.
> Bruno's statement was the first time ULA has seemed to confirm it is up for sale.
> ULA was established in 2006 through a merger of Boeing's Delta rocket program and Lockheed Martin's Atlas launcher family. Since then, ULA has been a profitable enterprise for both aerospace giants, thanks to a steady diet of lucrative sole-source military launch contracts and an approximately $1 billion annual subsidy from the US Department of Defense to maintain "launch readiness."
> With SpaceX now certified to launch US military satellites, the days of sole-source contracting are over, and the Defense Department says it is committed to competition in the launch market. The Pentagon has phased out the subsidy, which it said was needed to ensure ULA's workforce and infrastructure were available to assure access to space for military payloads.
> Sources have said ULA and its corporate owners have already talked with prospective buyers. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the sources said a sticking point has been finding a buyer who will agree to pay the owners something close to the roughly $5 billion valuation they have placed on ULA.

>>15823489
> Lockheed Martin, already a part-owner of United Launch Alliance, appears to be the leading candidate to take full control of the rocket company. Boeing is looking to recover from sustained financial losses, while Lockheed Martin is on firmer footing, forecasting more than $8.4 billion in profits for this year. Let's not forget that Lockheed Martin developed the Atlas V rocket, the more successful of ULA's two legacy launch vehicle families in terms of price and launch cadence.
>Amazon is another possibility. Purchasing ULA would give Amazon ownership of all the critical segments of the supply chain needed to deploy the Kuiper broadband network, akin to SpaceX's control of the Starlink constellation. Amazon is already building its own satellites for Kuiper, and if it bought ULA, it could launch them itself. This is surely an attractive proposition for Amazon that could lead to lower costs and schedule priority on the Vulcan launch manifest.
>Jeff Bezos's space company, Blue Origin, might also be in the running. Blue Origin supplies BE-4 engines for ULA's Vulcan rocket, but is also developing its own heavy-lift rocket, the New Glenn, and has a strategic road map that differs from that of ULA, with a greater emphasis on booster reusability.
>Two other ULA suppliers, Northrop Grumman and L3Harris, could also be interested. There's also a possibility that a private equity firm could swoop in and buy the company to gain a foothold in the space industry.

Avio Just Needs Some Space from Arianespace
--
https://europeanspaceflight.com/avio-just-needs-some-space-from-arianespace/
> Italian rocket builders Avio have asked the European Space Agency to allow it to split from Arianespace and independently market its Vega launch vehicles.
> The request was first reported by La Tribune. The request, which is backed by the Italian government, will be on the agenda at the ESA Space Summit in Seville, Spain, on 6 and 7 November. Although the topic is expected to be discussed at the summit, it will likely only be the first step, with a decision on the split to follow at a later date.
> This request is not all that surprising. Avio, with support from the Italian government, has been actively building its future launch business outside the confines of ESA and Arianespace.
> In June 2022, Avio announced that it had received €340 million from the Italian government to develop a new methalox first stage engine and a demonstrator of a new partially reusable launch vehicle.
> During an interview in July 2023, Avio CEO Giulio Ranzo told Wired that the reusable demonstrator would be a prelude to an entirely new product line for the company.
> In July 2022, the French Space Agency CNES announced that it had pre-selected Avio, along with six other launch companies, to utilize a new commercial launch facility being built on the grounds of the old Diamant launch complex at the Guiana Space Centre. At the time, it was largely unclear what the company planned to use the facility for, considering that it already had launch facilities for both Vega and Vega-C.
>When the two announcements are examined together, Avio has positioned itself outside the control of ESA and Arianespace with a new launch facility and a new launch vehicle.

>The geostationary orbit is a circular orbit on the Equatorial plane in which the period of sideral revolution of the satellite is equal to the period of sideral rotation of the Earth and the satellite moves in the same direction of the Earth's rotation. When a satellite describes this particular orbit, it is said to be geostationary; such a satellite appears to be stationary in the sky, when viewed from the earth, and is fixed on the zenith of a given point of the Equator, whose longitude is by definition that of the satellite.
>This orbit is located at an approximate distance of 35,871 Kmts. over the Earth's Equator.
>In qualifying this orbit as a natural resource, equatorial states reaffirm "the right of the peoples and of nations to permanent sovereignty over their wealth and natural resources that must be exercised in the interest of their national development and of the welfare of the people of the nation concerned," as it is set forth in Resolution 2692 (XXV) of the United Nations General Assembly entitled "permanent sovereignty over the natural resources of developing countries and expansion of internal accumulation sources for economic developments".
>Consequently, the above-mentioned provisions lead the equatorial states to affirm that the synchronous geostationary orbit, being a natural resource, is under the sovereignty of the equatorial states.

Looks like Rocket Lab, ABL, Astra, Vaya and Phantom space plan to launch from Australia. Biden just signed some agreement for U.S. companies to launch from Arnhem
https://www.satcom.digital/news/ela-welcomes-announcement-of-tsa-signing-providing-green-light-for-us-space-launches-from-arnhem-space-centre

> The United States and Australia have announced that they intend to sign a Technology Safeguards Agreement (TSA) that provides the legal and technical framework for U.S. commercial space launch vehicles to launch from Australia. The agreement will protect sensitive U.S. launch technology and data while in Australia and creates the potential for new space-related commercial opportunities between the two countries.

> This announcement overnight by President Biden and Prime Minister Albanese means that ELA can now move ahead to finalise multiple draft contracts we have negotiated with several U.S. launchers and we are thrilled that the two governments have announced this landmark agreement, giving us the green light to finalise our contract with U.S. rocket manufacturers,” said Mr Jones.

"November 6 is the NET at SpaceX, we are hoping that the regulatory side is on its final leg. Did hear positive news on the anticipated schedule for completion. No concerns on the technical readiness. Do have a few items as final launch preps but no concern for meeting the NET."

• Viv. The weird german (?) trans (???) chick who Elon used to follow and reply to all the time. No longer has a digital footprint. I think she works for tesla now?

>Suppose we achieve the technologies needed to send humans to Alpha Centauri. We have there in the form of Centauri A a G-class star much like the Sun (although we could also use the K-class star Centauri B). Both of these stars have their own distance from which gravitational lensing occurs, Align your spacecraft properly to look back towards the Earth from Centauri A and you can now connect to the ‘relay’ at the lensing distance from the Sun. You’ve drastically changed the communications picture by using lensing in both directions.

>This raises the eyebrows. Bit Error Rate expresses the quality of the signal, being the number of erroneous bits received divided by the total number of bits transmitted. Using a spacecraft at the solar gravitational lens distance from the Sun talking to one on the other side of Centauri A (alignment, of course, is critical here), we have a signal so strong that we have to go over 9 light years out before it begins to degrade. A radio bridge like this would allow communications with a colony at Alpha Centauri using power levels and infrastructure we have in place today.

>Maccone told the audience at Montreal that in terms of channel capacity (as defined by Shannon information theory), the Sun used as a gravitational lens allows 190 gigabits per second in a radio bridge to Centauri A as opposed to the paltry 15.3 kilobits per second available without lensing.
