Space & Satellite Business  Tourism, Communications, & Rockets   AZ TRT S05 EP25 (240) 6-23-2024    What We Learned This Week: ·         Business Model of Space is expanding, from Satellite delivery, to rockets, to space tourism, to future colonies on the Moon & Mars. ·         Satellite Communication and technology industries, expanding by the day ·         Long-term, both cell phones and Internet may be delivered worldwide via satellite ·         Space Aviation companies improving Rocket technology to put more satellites in the orbit at a lower cost       Notes:   Seg. 1   Rocket Lab Bio https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/rklb   https://www.rocketlabusa.com/updates/rocket-lab-usa-poised-to-change-the-space-industry/ US Aerospace company Rocket Lab is developing a world-first launch vehicle to deliver satellites into orbit cheaper and faster than ever before. Rocket Lab announced today its plan to revolutionize the global space industry with the creation of Electron, a lightweight, cost-effective rocket, making it easier for companies to launch small satellites into orbit. Rocket Lab is building the world's first carbon-composite launch vehicle at its Auckland, New Zealand facility. The development of Electron will reduce the price of delivering a satellite into orbit. At a cost of less than $5 million dollars, this represents a drastic cost reduction compared to existing dedicated launch services[1]. The lead-time for businesses to launch a satellite will also be reduced from years[2] down to weeks through vertical integration with Rocket Lab's private launch facility. Rocket Lab has already garnered strong commercial demand with commitments for its first 30 launches. Rocket Lab's principal funder is top-tier Silicon Valley venture firm, Khosla Ventures, which has a long track record of backing breakthrough technologies that revolutionize industries. Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures, says it is exciting to see to the technology and innovation coming out of Rocket Lab. “We are thrilled to be investing in the next chapter of Rocket Lab's development as they drive down the cost of launch vehicles to provide greater access to space,” said Mr. Khosla. “The company's technical innovations will truly transform the space industry.”     About Rocket Lab Rocket Lab is an aerospace company founded in 2006 by New Zealander, Peter Beck. The company is focused on delivering innovative, high quality technologies to the space industry. Rocket Lab was created to cater to the growing requirement within the international market for fast, low cost methods of delivering payloads to space. Since inception, the company has successfully developed a number of leading rocket-based systems, from sounding rockets through to new advanced propulsion technologies. Rocket Lab is an American company with a subsidiary and head office in Auckland, New Zealand. Rocket Lab was the first private company to reach space in the southern hemisphere in 2009 with its Atea 1 suborbital sounding rocket. Following this success the company won contracts with aerospace giants Lockheed Martin, DARPA and Aeroject Rocket-dyne.   Who are rocket Labs' competitors? The main competitors of Rocket Lab USA include AST SpaceMobile (ASTS), Hub Group (HUBG), Walker & Dunlop (WD), Matterport (MTTR), Joby Aviation (JOBY), Air Transport Services Group (ATSG), ChargePoint (CHPT), Forward Air (FWRD), Park-Ohio (PKOH), and United Parcel Service (UPS)   Market Cap: Rocket Lab $2.2B vs. Hub Group $2.7B   SapceX https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, commonly referred to as SpaceX, is an American spacecraft manufacturer, launch service provider and satellite communications company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. The company was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and ultimately developing a sustainable colony on Mars. The company currently produces and operates the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets along with the Dragon and Starship spacecraft. The company offers internet service via its Starlink subsidiary, which became the largest-ever satellite constellation in January 2020 and, as of April 2024, comprised more than 6,000 small satellites in orbit.[8]       https://medium.com/how-do-they-make-money/how-does-spacex-make-money How does SpaceX make money?   SpaceX is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company founded in 2002 by Elon Musk. The company's mission is to revolutionize space transportation and eventually enable the colonization of Mars.   One of the primary ways that SpaceX makes money is through contracts with government agencies and commercial customers for launches of its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets. SpaceX has a backlog of over 100 launches, with contracts from both government and commercial customers. The company's contracts with government agencies, such as NASA, have been particularly lucrative, with SpaceX receiving billions of dollars in funding to develop and launch rockets for various missions.   In addition to launch services, SpaceX also makes money through the production and sale of satellite hardware. The company manufactures a range of satellite products, including the Starlink satellite constellation, which is designed to provide high-speed internet to remote and underserved areas around the world. The Starlink constellation currently consists of over 1,000 satellites, with plans to eventually have over 12,000 in orbit. SpaceX generates revenue from the sale of hardware and services to customers that use the Starlink system.   Another way that SpaceX makes money is through research and development contracts. The company has received funding from the government and private organizations to develop new technologies, such as its Raptor rocket engine and its Starship spacecraft. These contracts provide SpaceX with a steady stream of revenue and help the company advance its goals of developing reusable rockets and enabling human spaceflight.   SpaceX also generates revenue from its launch facilities and other assets. The company operates launch sites at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, as well as a facility in Texas where it tests its rocket engines. SpaceX also owns a number of other assets, including a fleet of cargo ships and recovery vessels that it uses to support its launches and recover rocket boosters.     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Origin Blue Origin Enterprises, L.P.,[2] commonly referred to as Blue Origin[3] is an American aerospace manufacturer, government contractor, launch service provider,[4][5] and space technologies[6] company headquartered in Kent, Washington, United States. The company makes rocket engines for United Launch Alliance (ULA)'s Vulcan rocket and manufactures their own rockets, spacecraft, satellites,[7] and heavy-lift launch vehicles. The company is the second provider of lunar lander services for NASA's Artemis program and was awarded a $3.4 billion contract.[8] The four rocket engines the company has in production are the BE-3U, BE-3PM, BE-4 and the BE-7.[9] The organization was awarded the Robert J. Collier Trophy in 2016 for demonstrating rocket booster reusability with their New Shepard Rocket Program.[10] The award is administered by the U.S. National Aeronautic Association (NAA) and is presented to those who have made "the greatest achievement in aeronautics or astronautics in America, with respect to improving the performance, efficiency, and safety of air or space vehicles, the value of which has been thoroughly demonstrated by actual use during the preceding year."[11]   https://www.strategyzer.com/library/space-as-a-business-model-arena Industry forces Here we can analyze our supply chain — the ISS. Not only will other governments be able to take a ride, but anyone with the budget and a business plan, could launch a business from the ISS. Other considerations: Competitors: Governmental Organizations such as NASA, ESA, and more than 9 countries have orbital launch capabilities. New Entrants: Private Companies such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, Bigelow Aerospace, Stratolaunch, Rocket Lab, and Planetary Resources to name a few. Supply Chain: NASA recently announced that the International Space Station will be open for commercial business for an approximate cost of $52M. Starting in 2020, Astro-preneurs with deep pockets can use the ISS for off-earth manufacturing, research or tourism.   https://www.relativityspace.com/ A rocket company at the core, Relativity Space is on a mission to become the next great commercial launch company. With an ever-growing need for space infrastructure, demand for launch services is continuously outpacing supply. Our reusable rockets can meet this demand, offering customers the right size payload capacity at the right cost. Using an iterative development approach, we are strategically focused on reducing vehicle complexity, cost, and time to market. Our patented technologies enable innovative designs once thought impossible and unlock new value propositions in the booming space economy.     Seg. 2 Space Tourism https://apnews.com/article/virgin-galactic-tourist-spaceflight-branson-4c0904e4f222bd1aa4194c1a43777dd2 August 10, 2023 TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, N.M. (AP) — Virgin Galactic rocketed to the edge of space with its first tourists Thursday, a former British Olympian who bought his ticket 18 years ago and a mother-daughter duo from the Caribbean. The space plane glided back to a runway landing at Spaceport America in the New Mexico desert, after a brief flight that gave passengers a few minutes of weightlessness. This first private customer flight had been delayed for years; its success means Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic can now start offering monthly rides, joining Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin and Elon Musk's SpaceX in the space tourism business. “That was by far the most awesome thing I've ever done in my life,” said Jon Goodwin, who competed in canoeing in the 1972 Olympics. Goodwin, 80, was among the first to buy a Virgin Galactic ticket in 2005 and feared, after later being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, that he'd be out of luck. Since then he's climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and cycled back down, and said he hopes his spaceflight shows others with Parkinson's and other illnesses that ”it doesn't stop you doing things.” Ticket prices were $200,000 when Goodwin signed up. The cost is now $450,000.   https://finance.yahoo.com/video/5-space-stocks-investors-watch-183956447.html The 5 space stocks investors need to watch   Yahoo Finance - Mon, Jun 24, 2024 The space industry is counting down to lift off with major investments pouring into the sector from multiple superpowers. Many space-related companies have profited off this new space race, giving new avenues for investors to add this sector to their portfolios.

Under the deal, Intuitive will help develop a Lunar Terrain Vehicle for an upcoming trip to the moon. The company successfully landed on the moon back in February, deploying “payloads and commercial cargo” on behalf of NASA.   Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ:LUNR) is trending on social media and business news websites as LUNR stock moves up today. Shares of the company are up almost 4% as of this writing. This comes after Intuitive Machines won a NASA contract to support the agency's efforts for a mission to the moon. Intuitive will be a “prime contractor” for NASA's Artemis campaign, which is slated to include human exploration of the moon. Intuitive Machines will receive an initial payment of $30 million as part of the contract.   LUNR Stock: Intuitive Machines' Contract From NASA Under the agreement, Intuitive Machines will help complete a “Lunar Terrain Vehicle Services Feasibility Assessment.” The LTV feasibility roadmap will also utilize Intuitive's Nova-D cargo-class lunar lander.

On this week's interview Paul talks to Doug Messier, an expert on the private space industry. You can find his Substack here. We discuss the latest announcements from Virgin Galactic regarding their business model, layoffs, and flight cessation in 2024. If you care about Spaceport America and the investments New Mexicans continue to make in the facility you don't want to miss this conversation! 

On this week's conversation Paul and Wally discuss the latest on MLG's gun order and where we see things going from here.  On a related note Kohl's in Coronado Mall has abruptly closed. Employees interviewed by KOB TV cited theft as a leading issue. Biden's own Energy Secretary experienced some issues firsthand and NPR was there to report on them. Also, a bill was passed in the US House that would stop states from banning gas vehicles. Only a few Democrats voted for it including Gabe Vasquez. RGF has also joined the Save our Cars coalition.  Poverty has risen quickly between 2021 and 2022. An energy conference organized by Democrats in downtown Albuquerque and with speakers including Sen. Heinrich drew protesters opposed to carbon sequestration and nuclear. Do supposed environmentalists even WANT a solution?  Another universal basic income program rolled out in LasCruces. A prior program was privately funded, this one is funded with federal tax dollars. Neither really fit the "basic income" model. Launches are happening at Spaceport America, but the ABQJournal is questioning the viability of Virgin Galactic and legislators are questioning the Facility's financial impact.

Wisata Luar Angkasa, Sensasi atau Prestasi? Oleh. Firda Umayah(Kontributor NarasiPost.Com) Voice over talent: Dewi Nasjag NarasiPost.Com-Sobat, perusahaan pariwisata swasta milik Sir Richard Branson sukses menggelar layanan perdana wisata luar angkasa pada 29 Juni 2023. Dikutip dari inet.detik.com pada 1 Juli 2023, perusahaan dirgantara asal Inggris itu berhasil melakukan misi penerbangan dengan empat penumpang ke ruang suborbital. Perjalanan selama 90 menit itu lantas diberi nama Virgin Galactic 01.Penumpang akan merasakan sensasi melayang seperti astronaut saat di kabin pesawat. Wah, sepertinya seru banget, ya? Untuk dapat menikmati perjalanan luar angkasa ini, tentu saja butuh dana yang tidak sedikit, ya, Sobat. Kalian harus menyediakan Rp2,1 miliar untuk uang muka dari total biaya sebesar Rp6,4 miliar. Wow, fantastis, bukan? Dengan harga itu, wisatawan akan dimanjakan dengan pemandangan planet bumi dari ruang angkasa dan tempat menginap yang eksklusif seperti di Spaceport America di New Mexico yang dikenal supermewah. Tiket yang dijual dari penyelenggara wisata ini juga dibatasi hanya sampai 1.000 orang saja, lo. Meskipun wisatawan nanti mencoba wisata luar angkasa, bukan berarti wisatawan lantas disebut sebagai astronaut. Sebab, untuk menjadi astronaut, ada kriteria tersendiri yang harus dipenuhi. Kapitalisme dan Wisata Luar Angkasa Tak dapat dimungkiri, kecerdasan manusia ditambah kecanggihan teknologi telah menghasilkan berbagai inovasi yang dapat mempermudah manusia menjalani aktivitas. Inovasi ini juga kaya akan sarana hiburan yang dianggap mampu mengusir kejenuhan manusia dari permasalahan hidup, salah satunya adalah wisata luar angkasa. Wisata ini diklaim dapat mengusir penatnya hidup karena hanya berada di lingkungan bumi saja. Hem, kira-kira benar enggak, ya?

Paul was in Carlsbad recently. He discussed a number of issues there and met with the Mayor and other community leaders. The oil and gas continues to boom there. Paul offers specific details of his visit here. As the first paid tourists get ready to launch out of Spaceport America the facility is already going to need millions of dollars in repairs.  Albuquerque is poised to construct an $80 million 7-mile-long bike trail.  The US Forest Service admits that it set yet another major fire from summer of 2022.  New Mexico is a good place to be born if you want to BE a billionaire according to a new report.  The Biden Administration is now coming after your dishwasher. The DOE's proposal seeks to cut energy use by 27% and water use by 34% in new household dishwashers made or imported into the United States. RGF filed comments in opposition. As the Gov. pours $100 million more of our money into pre-K, at least one national media outlet is willing to ask whether this is a sensible policy.   RGF has an upcoming luncheon with previous podcast guest Brian Domitrovic of the (Arthur) Laffer Center on August 8. He will share a "tax history of the United States." We hope you can attend!

Virgin Galactic está programado para el jueves comenzar finalmente los vuelos espaciales comerciales, un hito importante para la compañía fundada en 2004 por el multimillonario británico Richard Branson. Sus primeros clientes que pagan son una tripulación de tres miembros de la Fuerza Aérea Italiana y el Consejo Nacional de Investigación de Italia, con un cuarto asiento ocupado por un instructor astronauta de Virgin Galactic. Apodada Galactic 01, la misión de 90 minutos despegará desde Spaceport America, Nuevo México, e incluye varios experimentos científicos suborbitales, dijo la compañía en un comunicado.

Virgin Galactic, la empresa de turismo espacial de Richard Branson, ha logrado un gran avance. Han llevado a sus primeros clientes pagos al borde del espacio. El hito se alcanzó casi 20 años después de que Branson comenzó su sueño de crear un negocio de turismo espacial. El vuelo partió desde Spaceport America en Nuevo México. Los pasajeros eran oficiales de la fuerza aérea italiana y un ingeniero. Realizaron experimentos científicos y ejercicios de entrenamiento.Este es un punto de inflexión en el turismo espacial.En 2004, Richard Branson adquirió los derechos de la tecnología de SpaceShipOne. Con esta tecnología, formó Virgin Galactic. Su objetivo era llevar a las personas al borde del espacio. Su nave, llamada Unity, se lanza desde un avión de doble fuselaje. Después de ser liberada, Unity asciende verticalmente hasta cruzar la frontera del espacio.El viaje inaugural ocurrió ayer. Los pasajeros experimentaron unos minutos de ingravidez mientras estaban en el espacio. También realizaron experimentos científicos. Unity alcanzó una altitud máxima de 53 millas antes de regresar a la Tierra. Este es un gran logro para Virgin Galactic.Sin embargo, el camino no ha sido fácil. En 2014, un accidente fatal durante una prueba de vuelo cobró la vida de un piloto y lesionó gravemente a otro. Virgin Galactic ha estado trabajando para mejorar sus operaciones comerciales. Aún así, la empresa reportó pérdidas en los primeros trimestres de 2022 y 2023.Ahora, con el éxito del primer vuelo comercial, Virgin Galactic espera un futuro brillante. La empresa espera volar más clientes que han pagado hasta $450,000 por un boleto. Algunos han estado esperando años para volar. Con el logro de este hito, Virgin Galactic está lista para llevar el turismo espacial al siguiente nivel.Encuentra también nuestro pódcast más largo y completo en El Siglo 21 es Hoy

Some interest groups are lobbying for a public bank in New Mexico. Others want a "green" bank. What's going on with these proposals?  Liability in the event of a disaster. The submarine loss raises questions for New Mexico about Spaceport and whether taxpayers could be on the hook in the event of a disaster. This is especially relevant as the first paying customers are set to fly out of Spaceport America this week.  Tuesday the 27th is the 5th anniversary of the Janus decision. New Mexico government employee unions saw the biggest decline in membership of any state thanks in part to RGF educational efforts.  New Mexico has $70.84 billion invested in various funds. It is not a poor state, but it is a poorly governed state:  ABQ City Council embraced casitas and rejected the "weak mayor" change for local government. Paul and Wally are pleased by the casita decision and understand the lack of willingness to switch governments. Also, RGF helped push Albuquerque Public Schools to publish their recent budgets.  Lujan Grisham wants feds to follow California's lead on zero emission trucks. Here's what that means.

158 teams from around the world were selected to compete in the 2023 Spaceport America Cup. Up to 120 will make it to the competition in New Mexico which runs from June 20-24. T-Minus Space will be covering all the action at the world's largest student rocket competition.

Scott McLaughlin Executive Director of Spaceport America in southern NM, discusses all the cool things that are happening out there, and what is yet to come with TJ on News Radio KKOBSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the challenges for spaceports is attracting new business to be able to sustain operations. At Spaceport America, that is the job of Dr. Francisco Pallares, the newly-appointed Director of Business Development. Dr. Pallares joined the New Mexico Spaceport Authority from Sul Ross State University and was the former Deputy Director for Economic Development at the City of Las Cruces prior to accepting his new position. Spaceport America is probably best known as the home of Virgin Galactic, which is poised to resume crewed flights as early as May 25. But the spaceport has other clients and functions as well, and attracting new business is critical to the facility's ongoing operations. Built for Attracting New Business Spaceport America was the first commercial spaceport in the world. It is an FAA-licensed launch complex, situated on 18,000 acres adjacent to the U.S. Army White Sands Missile Range in southern New Mexico, has a rocket-friendly environment of 6,000 square miles of restricted airspace, low population density, a 12,000-foot by 200-foot runway, and vertical launch complexes, so there is plenty of room for expansion. On the podcast, Tom Patton talks with Dr. Pallares about how the NMSA goes about marketing the facility to potential clients,what kinds of new business they are looking to secure, and why they are important to the overall success of Spaceport America. The vision for the NMSA is for Spaceport America to become a premier multi-modal Spaceport for point-to-point space transportation, aerospace operations, research, development, and testing in support of our Nation's commercial, civil, and national security space sectors. "I would not see it as something far fetched that we can start thinking about Spaceport America as having that value added, that additional production, into how can we deliver things across the world in two hours," Dr. Pallares said.

Two things everywhere around us: Religion. Space. But most people don't bring them together. Scientists unhappy with religion shake their head at our species' small-minded tribal violence that bubbles up in religious conflict or old-fashioned “sky daddy” thinking. Religionists unhappy with science shake their head at scientism's obsessive materialism and lack of answers and responses to our very human needs to understand, to be comforted, to be awed. Now that the two strawmen/women are out of the way, most of us can acknowledge religion doesn't end at the atmosphere, and space is as even more of a wild testimony to the universe's wonder and the necessity of the “why?” questions that, sometimes, are best discussed and studied in the social sciences.  Blah blah blah, from me. Let's talk Deana Weibel, PhD (DEE-nuh WHY-bull). She's a professor in both the Anthropology and Religious Studies departments at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. She studies sacred spaces, including sacred spaces and people's relationships to those places. She came up to me at Spaceport America as a visiting anthropologist observing and asking questions of folks like me there, who were waiting to see if their friends' and family members' remains would go up on a rocket. They didn't. She wanted to ask me a few questions about Judaism and space (I didn't have good answers). But I snuck her my card to interview her for my podcast, because when you're confronted with an anthropologist who studies religion and space, you want to know more.  Cool claim to fame: Dr. Weibel wrote a paper about what she calls the ultraview effect. The Overview Effect is one name for what astronauts say they experience when they look out at Earth from above and get a new, powerful perspective on humanity and our small planet. Weibel heard another astronaut talk about an experience of fear and awe that came with looking out at the stars in the other direction, causing “a transformative sense of incomprehension and a feeling or shrinking or self-diminution.” Anyway, the Brit-rock band Kasabian recorded a song called “T.U.E. (The Ultraview Effect),” which appears on their 2022 album. And the lyrics do talk about perspective, so it sounds like song and idea are intertwined. We get into the ultraview effect, but not the song, in this podcast.  So, settle back and let's study the stars … or strap in, we're going for a rocket ride … whatever metaphor you like … where does religious yearning meet with space exploration … ?  P.S. There's a tinny vibration in some of the audio here. Apologies. Don't hate me. I can't afford this genius for every podcast, alright?

Like everyone else RGF is interested in what happened in the recent election. Paul has some analysis here. Paul and Wally aren't the only ones waiting for something to happen at Spaceport America. A Chicago man recently asked for and received a refund from Virgin Galactic.  Think New Mexico proposes education reform, we analyze their plan.  RGF will be in federal court on Wednesday against NM Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver. Environmental consults presented to the Legislature recently. They claim to have put a price of $5.3 billion on New Mexico environmental disasters due to climate change, but make no specific arguments that climate change caused the disasters. 

During this week's conversation Paul and Wally discuss the recently-passed and poorly-named "Inflation Reduction Act." What's in the bill and why is it so bad? Next, the latest "Kids Count" report put out by Annie E. Casey Foundation and Voices for Children is out and New Mexico is back to 50th. What does it mean and why does "Voices" wish to undermine the findings of their own report? Virgin Galactic announced that it has again moved back its launch date from New Mexico's Spaceport America. News articles indicate even more serious issues with the company's spacecraft.    The City of ABQ has offered "free" bus service in recent months. While there is little evidence of success, "free" bus ridership could prove very expensive.  A few months ago ABQ City Council gave $250,000 to Planned Parenthood. They will be voting on August 15 to potentially redirect that money.  A new report by Axios includes some interesting data on electric vehicles and their lack of market penetration.  The ABQ Journal has additional reporting on workforce participation: https://errorsofenchantment.com/education-poll-shows-support-in-new-mexico-for-school-choice-concern-for-education-system/

In this week's episode, we're talking about an annual event that has returned to our area after a two-year, COVID-inspired hiatus. That's the Spaceport America Cup — which was recently described by someone in our newsroom as March Madness for aspiring rocket scientists. We talk to Las Cruces Sun-News reporter Algernon D'Ammassa — who regularly covers the Spaceport, its anchor tenant Virgin Galactic, and related topics — and to photojournalist Meg Potter, who is relatively new to New Mexico, about their experiences covering the first day of the event.

On this week's interview Paul talks to private space expert Doug Messier of the private space tracking  site "Parabolic Arc." While the ongoing frustration of the failures at Spaceport America cast doubt on the future of Virgin Galactic, the private space launch "revolution" is moving forward quickly to step in for NASA. Unfortunately, Virgin Galactic remains stuck "on the runway." Paul and Doug discuss Virgin Galactic and some of their other business models as well as the Spaceport America-based "Spinlaunch" which has received millions of dollars in subsidies from the State of New Mexico for their unproven technology.

The Line Opinion Panel discusses the issue of abortion rights, and how overturning Roe V. Wade could impact New Mexico. Will restrictive laws in other states force more people here for procedures? The Panel will answer that question while considering the impact this debate could have on midterm elections. Virgin Galactic is announcing a delay in its plans to begin commercial space flights. Will the delay have a tangible impact at the taxpayer-funded Spaceport America?

While Spaceport America is best known for its high-profile tenant Virgin Galactic, there's a lot more going on at the world's first purpose-built spaceport. Our guest on this edition of The Ex Terra Podcast, host Tom Patton talks with Alice Carruth, public relations coordinator for Spaceport America in New Mexico. According to the spaceport website, the FAA-licensed launch complex is situated on 18,000 acres adjacent to the U.S. Army White Sands Missile Range in southern New Mexico, has a rocket friendly environment of 6,000 square miles of restricted airspace, low population density, a 12,000-foot by 200-foot runway, vertical launch complexes, and about 340 days of sunshine and low humidity. Some of the most respected companies in the commercial space industry are tenants at Spaceport America: Virgin Galactic, HAPS Mobile/ AeroVironment, UP Aerospace, and SpinLaunch. With customers EXOS Aerospace and Swift Engineering regularly using the complex for testing and launches. The New Mexico Spaceport Authority was created by the Spaceport Development Act (New Mexico Statutes Annotated 1978 §58-31-1 et seq., Laws of 2005) for the purpose of developing the spaceport. NMSA is an autonomous state-established authority, administratively attached to the Economic Development Department (EDD), and governed by a Board of Directors consisting of six members appointed by the Governor and the Cabinet Secretary of Economic Development (or the Secretary's designee) who serves as chair of the board. The Lieutenant Governor and the Executive Director of NMSA serve in the board as nonvoting members. Ms. Carruth talks about the many tenants at the spaceport, as well as the STEM education programs offered at the facility and much more on this edition of The Ex Terra Podcast. How does what happens in space affect your everyday life? The Ex Terra podcast is dedicated to introducing you to many of the interesting people involved in the commercial space industry, and taking you behind the scenes with many of the companies making significant contributions to the new space economy. The podcast is available on Anchor, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Breaker, Overcast, Pocketcasts and Radio Public.

Vous souvenez-vous de SpinLaunch ? Il y a environ un an, nous vous avions présenté cette entreprise désireuse de créer un lanceur spatial dit propre, sans combustible, grâce à un environnement sous vide à haute vitesse. Et bien aussi fou que le projet puisse paraître, la NASA vient de signer un accord avec la start-up pour toute une série d'essais de lancement dès cette année. Aller, regardons en détail de quoi il s'agit !L'an dernier, la vidéo des premiers essais de SpinLaunch était rapidement devenue virale sur internet. Installé près du Spaceport America au Nouveau-Mexique, le démonstrateur d'une trentaine de mètres de diamètres avait surtout intrigué les internautes par son design, à la croisée d'une parabole et d'un canon. Concrètement, une charge utile et un contrepoids tournent à très haute vitesse avant que n'ai lieu l'éjection de l'objet placé dans un environnement sous vide, le tout calculé au dixième de seconde près. Une fois expulsé, le projectile traverse un opercule avant de foncer dans l'atmosphère à haute vitesse. L'essai en question avait été commenté par plusieurs spécialistes, lesquels avaient pointé des contraintes énormes sur la charge utile ou encore la faible précision du guidage lors de l'éjection.En attendant, la NASA profitera du démonstrateur pour se faire une idée de cette technologie. D'ailleurs, le contrat signé avec l'entreprise ne porte pas sur des lancements de satellites, mais simplement sur des tests. Une bonne nouvelle du point de vue financier puisqu'avec les fond alloués par la NASA, SpinLaunch pourra justement construire son démonstrateur de 100 mètres de diamètre plus rapidement, avant de tenter de convaincre l'agence américaine de l'utilité de son invention en fin d'année, grâce à un premier tir à vitesse maximale. D'après les experts, le tir nécessitera près d'une heure d'accélération pour projeter la charge utile à une vitesse significative. Quoiqu'il en soit, SpinLaunch espère atteindre une précision et une vitesse suffisante pour qu'il ne reste plus au projectile qu'à allumer un petit moteur fusée pour s'injecter en orbite.
