SUAS Aerospace, the leading Irish aerospace company based in Cork, and T-Minus Engineering, a Netherlands-based company that develops, produces and launches rocket systems for research, observation and training purposes, have announced a strategic partnership to launch the Pathfinder mission in late 2025. Pathfinder is Ireland's first commercial rocket launch. This groundbreaking endeavour will serve to position Ireland as a key player in the European space industry. Up to now, European orbital rocket launches have primarily been conducted in South America from French Guiana. With the stated EU aim of having sovereignty in space, this Irish launch heralds a truly new era for the European space industry. To execute the Pathfinder mission, T-Minus will provide expertise in solid rocket propulsion, onboard electronics, and launch operations, while SUAS Aerospace will oversee the complex logistics of the launch, including site acquisition, licensing, and stakeholder engagement. T-Minus is the most prolific rocket launch business in Europe. The Pathfinder launch site will be on Ireland's west coast, which is an ideal destination for commercial rocket launches. Offering cost-effectiveness, easy access by sea and air, and a large safety zone over the Atlantic Ocean, the west coast location will establish Ireland's position in the European launch market and encourage state support for space infrastructure to capitalise on this once-in-a-generation opportunity. The project will demonstrate Ireland's geographical advantage and capability for delivering satellites to Northerly and Southerly low earth orbits and focus European awareness on the opportunity for commercial rocket launches from Ireland. T-Minus Engineering brings extensive expertise in the development, production, and launching of rocket systems, providing end-to-end solutions for both the scientific and defence markets. With capabilities in solid rocket propulsion, onboard electronics and telemetry, lightweight materials, and safety simulations, T-Minus Engineering has a proven track record, having launched various rockets from locations across the globe, including Australia, Scandinavia, and the UK. Rory Fitzpatrick, CEO of SUAS Aerospace, said: "The Pathfinder mission is a significant milestone for Ireland's space program. It will not only demonstrate the country's technical capabilities but also contribute to economic growth and job creation. By partnering with T-Minus, we are ensuring that the launch meets the highest safety standards and regulatory requirements, paving the way for future space activities. "Having collaborated on a project previously with T-Minus Engineering, they are the obvious choice for the Pathfinder mission, having conducted multiple suborbital launches within Europe and worldwide," he said. Hein Olthof, CEO of T-Minus Engineering, said: "As T-Minus seeks new opportunities outside the Netherlands due to space restrictions, the Pathfinder project presents a unique solution and will support our further expansion across Europe. We believe this partnership will open up new opportunities for our customers, and we are confident that our collaboration with SUAS Aerospace will lead to innovative and successful projects, fuelling the growth of Europe's space capabilities. Ireland can be a centre of this growth." "The establishment of new launch sites, such as Ireland, will encourage harmonization of launch operations within Europe, mainly in regulations, which in the end leads to better and more efficient legislation. This can give Europe the desired edge in the important field of space access." SUAS Aerospace was founded in 2019 and is supported by Enterprise Ireland. With an initial investment of €1.1 million to date, along with T-Minus Engineering, it has secured significant partnerships with major European Companies, including Skyrora and Pangea Aerospace. It is part of a successful consortium awarded a €5m grant from Horizon Europe to develop inter...

Langanesbyggð býr sig nú undir móttöku á fulltrúum skoska eldflaugafélagsins Skyrora sem hyggjast skjóta upp tilraunaeldflaug í sveitarfélaginu. Félagið fékk nýlega leyfi samgönguyfirvalda til að skjóta upp einni tilraunaeldflaug frá Íslandi. Ágúst Ólafsson tók saman. Rætt var við Björn S. Lárusson í Morgunútvarpi Rásar 2.
Morgunblaðið greindi frá því í gær að Samgöngustofa hafi gefið út leyfi til skoska eldflaugafyrirtækisins Skyrora til að skjóta upp einni tilraunaeldflaug frá Íslandi. Eldflauginni verður skotið upp einhvern tímann á næstu dögum eða vikum á Langanesi - en Skyrora hefur lýst því yfir að umrætt tilraunaskot eigi að verða stærsta geimskot frá Evrópu til þessa. Við heyrðum í Birni S. Lárussyni, sveitarstjóra Langanesbyggðar, en málið var rætt á fundi sveitarstjórnar í gær. Elísabet Englandsdrottning lést í gær, 96 ára gömul, eftir um 70 ár á valdastóli. Við völdum í Bretlandi tekur sonur hennar, prinsinn af Wales, Karl konungur þriðji. Við ræddum við Önnu Lilju Þórisdóttur, fréttakonu, um þennan merka þjóðhöfðingja, áhrif andlátsins á breskt samfélag og það sem tekur nú við. Hjálmar Sveinsson borgarfulltrúi benti á nýja skýrslu um Reykjanesið á Facebook síðu sinni í gær og dró þær ályktanir að því að þrátt fyrir allt þá væri fyrirhugað flugvallarstæði í Hvassahrauni það öruggasta á svæðinu, með tilliti til eldsumbrota. Hjálmar ræddi flugvallarmálin við okkur í dag. Fréttir vikunnar verða ansi litaðar af drottningum, bæði innlendum og erlendum, og því fengum við til okkar tvær fræknar blaðakonur af Fréttablaðinu, þær Nínu Richter og Ingunni Láru Kristjánsdóttur. Líf og starf Árna Arnþórssonar breyttist á einni nóttu fyrir rúmu ári síðan þegar Talibanar tóku yfir Afghanistan á undravert skömmum tíma. Þá var Árni aðstoðarrektor American University of Afghanistan í Kabúl en hafa þurfti hraðar hendur við yfirtöku talíbana, eyða gögnum, reyna eftir fremsta megni að bjarga nemendum úr landi og halda skólastarfinu áfram með allt öðrum hætti. Árni var gestur okkar.

2021 was another year of firsts in the ever-expanding industry around space, as we moved towards space tourism as a reality. But what about NASA, and its plans to return to the moon? We hear all about it, and the space agency's ambitious plans for not just the moon, but mars; from NASA's Carlos Garcia-Galan. We also hear about the increasingly urgent issue of space junk, which is causing serious safety issues in orbit. University of Texas at Austin professor, and chief scientific officer at Privateer, Moriba Jah explains. Plus Katie Miller from Skyrora tells us about the company's space tug; a nifty idea to clean up unwanted objects in space.

Smitum hefur fjölgað í Evrópu undanfarið líkt og fram hefur komið í fréttum. Við höfum heyrt í fólki víða undanfarið en við tókum stöðuna í Finnlandi í dag þar sem við heyrðum í Auðuni Atlasyni sendiherra Íslands í Helsinki. Kórónuveirusmitum hefur fjölgað mjög hratt nú síðsumars víðast hvar í Evrópu, eins og flestum er kunnugt. Spánn var eitt þeirra landa sem hvað verst fór út úr farsóttinni í vor, svo mjög að stjórnvöld settu á algert útgöngubann um nokkurra vikna skeið í vor. Landið var opnað að nýju fyrir ferðamönnum í byrjun júlí og síðan þá hefur smitum fjölgað hratt að nýju. Jóhann Hlíðar Harðarson hefur dvalið á Spáni frá því landið var opnað að nýju og fylgst vel með þróun mála. Við hringdum í hann. Þórhildur Ída Þórarinsdóttir er fyrsta konan í 83 ára sögu Svifflugfélags Íslands til að gegna stöðu formanns félagsins. Hún vill auka veg kvenna í svifflugi og hvetur þær til að kynna sér sportið. Hún segir ekki jafnast á við það að svífa frjáls eins og fuglinn um himininn. Þórhildur Ída kom til okkar í spjall. Elías Gíslason, forstöðumaður Ferðamálastofu, var á línunni hjá okkur en Ferðamálastofa auglýsir nú eftir gististöðum sem getur tekið á móti fólki sem þarf að fara í sóttkví. Allir sem koma til landsins að utan þurfa að fara í sóttkví frá og með miðvikudeginum og eru margskonar reglur sem gististaðirnir þurfa að uppfylla. Við töluðum við Atla Þór Fanndal hjá Geimvísinda- og tækniskrifstofunni en eldflaugaskot skoska fyrirtækisins Skyrora gekk með miklum ágætum í gær. Þetta er fyrsta eldflaugaskotið héðan frá Íslandi í hálfa öld. Þorkell Gunnar Sigurbjörnsson fulltrúi íþróttadeildarinnar fór yfir helstu tíðindi af íþróttum helgarinnar með okkur, en fótboltinn rúllaði m.a. af stað að nýju hér á landi. Tónlist: Una Stef og The SP74 - Tunglið, tunglið taktu mig. Chris Cornell - The Keeper. KK - Þetta lag er um þig. Guðni Þór - Ive been waiting. Stefán Hilmarsson - Þú ferð mér svo ósköp vel. Arcade Fire - Everything now. Dua Lipa - Hallucinate. Á móti sól - Nýjar syndir. Madonna - Express yourself. Umsjón: Hulda G. Geirsdóttir og Sigmar Guðmundsson.

Forstjóri Íslenskrar erfðagreiningar segir hverfandi líkur á að fólk geti veikst oftar en einu sinni af COVID-19. Fyrirtækið ætlar að rannsaka hvort þeir sem ekki mynda mótefni gegn veirunni séu samt ónæmir fyrir henni. Frá miðnætti aðfaranótt laugardags verða allir sem fara frá Íslandi til Noregs að fara í 10 daga sóttkví. Ísland er komið á rauða listann hjá Norðmönnum. Mótmæli halda enn áfram í Beirút þrátt fyrir afsögn ríkisstjórnar landsins. Nokkrir hafa verið nefndir sem arftakar Hassans Diab en kallað er eftir viðamiklum umbótum í stjórnmálum og efnahagslífi Líbanons. Leyfi sem skoska fyrirtækið Skyrora fékk til þess að skjóta eldflaug á loft frá Langanesi tók gildi í dag. Nú er beðið eftir hagstæðum veðurskilyrðum. Þúsundum tónlistarviðburða hefur verið aflýst hér á landi og gríðarlegt tekjufall er hjá tónlistarfólki. Samstarfshópur tónlistarmanna á nú í viðræðum við stjórnvöld um hvernig halda megi tónlistarlífi gangandi. Bergljót Baldursdóttir talar við Guðrúnu Björk Bjarnadóttur og Maríu Rut Reynisdóttir. Sjávarútvegsmálin eru erfiður hjalli í samningum Breta við Evrópusambandið. Þau mál mótast meðal annars af tilurð fiskveiðistefnu ESB og þar koma þorskastríðin beint og óbeint við sögu. Sigrún Davíðsdóttir segir frá.

Undirbúningur er hafinn á sérsöfnun á lífrænum eldhúsúrgangi í Hamrahverfi í Grafarvogi. Verkefnið er hluti af aðgerðaráætlun Reykjavíkurborgar um sérsöfnun á lífrænum eldhússúrgangi og endurvinnslu á honum. Slíkt verkefni hefur verið í gangi á Kjalarnesi frá því sl. haust og hefur gengið vel. Guðmundur B. Friðriksson skrifstofustjóri skrifstofu umhverfisgæða í Reykjavík kom til okkar og sagði okkur nánar af þessu og fleiri sorphirðu- og endurvinnslumálum.

Undirbúningur er hafinn á sérsöfnun á lífrænum eldhúsúrgangi í Hamrahverfi í Grafarvogi. Verkefnið er hluti af aðgerðaráætlun Reykjavíkurborgar um sérsöfnun á lífrænum eldhússúrgangi og endurvinnslu á honum. Slíkt verkefni hefur verið í gangi á Kjalarnesi frá því sl. haust og hefur gengið vel. Guðmundur B. Friðriksson skrifstofustjóri skrifstofu umhverfisgæða í Reykjavík kom til okkar og sagði okkur nánar af þessu og fleiri sorphirðu- og endurvinnslumálum.

Geimvísinda- og tækniskrifstofa Íslands hefur ekki farið hátt með störf sín síðastliðin misseri. Nú verður hinsvegar breyting þar á, þar sem stofnunin hefur hafið samstarf við Skyrora, ungt frumkvöðlafyrirtæki með höfuðstöðvar í Skotlandi sem sérhæfir sig í smíðum og skotum á eldflaugum fyrir gervihnetti. Vonast er til að Ísland geti verið skotpallur fyrir þrjár tilraunaeldflugar á næstu tólf mánuðum. Atli Þór Fanndal, ráðgjafi og Owain Hughes, viðskiptastjóri Skyrora, taka sér far með Lestinni í dag. Davíð Roach flytur okkur fimmtudagspistil. Í þetta sinn rýnir hann í rapparann Tyler the Creator. Sá átti að margra mati eina bestu plötu síðasta árs en hans fyrri verk eru síst síðri að mati Davíðs. Á föstudag verður haldið opnunarpartý nýrrar tónlistarmiðstöðvar Stelpur rokka! í Völvufelli í Breiðholti. Þar munu samtökin halda úti tónleikasal og kennslurými. Við kíkjum í tónlistarmiðstöðina í Breiðholti og ræðum við Önnu Sæunni Ólafsdóttir frá Stelpur Rokka. Og við heyrum um fyrstu beinu útvarpsútsendinguna sem fór fram fyrir 110 árum síðan.

It's a rocket special on this month's Space Boffins with Sue Nelson and Richard Hollingham. As the UK's plans for a Spaceport forge ahead, two microlauncher companies are at the forefront of a commercial space race for launching small satellites from the UK. Sue hears from Orbex's Chris Larmour and Skyrora's Daniel Smith to find out what they have planned. Richard reports from the European spaceport Vega C launch pad in French Guiana with engineer Marco Calcabrini and inside the Ariane 5 and Vega control room with Jean-Marc Durand from Arianespace.

Robin Hague is the Lead Engineer at the rocket startup Skyrora based in Edinburgh, Scotland. The goal of Skyrora is to provide a dedicated launch vehicle for small satellites. It has never been cheaper to build small satellites that provide imaging and communication services, and this sector of the space economy is expected to grow rapidly over the coming years. The UK is a world leader in the small satellite business—with Glasgow in Scotland building more satellites than any other city in Europe—but there is currently a shortfall of dedicated launchers for these satellite companies. Skyrora hopes to serve this market by launching rockets from Norther Scotland, which has great access to polar and sun-synchronous orbits. In this episode of the Aerospace Engineering podcast Robin and I talk about: the history of British rocketry (the Black Arrow) the benefits of using hydrogen peroxide as a propellant the role of 3D printing in modern rocket engines and the future of Skyrora.
