Every space mission begins long before launch day. Ideas become spacecraft. Thousands of decisions are made before a single engine ignites. The European Space Agency (ESA) knows what that journey looks like. As the agency prepares to increase the missions it supports by 2030, it is laying the groundwork...

T-52 hours! This Thursday, NordSpace goes orbital for the first time. Terra Nova, NordSpace's first pathfinder satellite, is launching aboard SpaceX's Transporter-18 from Vandenberg Space Force Base. We designed, built and tested it in our Space Systems Lab (SSL), including thermal, vacuum and vibration testing all in-house. Terra Nova is also built to retire substantial mission, business and technical risk for our launch systems division. We're building Tundra and Tempest, Canada's light and medium-lift commercial orbital launch vehicles, along with the Atlantic Spaceport Complex. As Canada's only vertically integrated space missions company and a company committed to high cadence operations, Terra Nova brings us one giant leap closer to operating every phase of a space mission. From design and manufacturing through launch, on-orbit operations and data services. That's what sovereign, end-to-end space capability for Canada looks like, and we are just getting started. Terra Nova is a self-funded, dual-use defence and commercial demonstration mission. It will test capabilities from Space Domain Awareness to wildfire and arctic monitoring using artificial intelligence at the edge. Work meant to protect Canadian sovereignty and save lives. On board are four technologies we built ourselves: 🔹 Athena, our scalable spacecraft bus 🔹 Zephyr-EP, our electric propulsion thruster 🔹 Chronos, our edge-AI camera system running on an onboard NVIDIA GPU 🔹 Sentinel, our mission control platform, which will run every NordSpace mission, including launch Terra Nova is just one of several spacecraft missions we have planned. We will soon be announcing our full-scale Athena and Aquila spacecraft buses, built for rapid deployment of constellations and hosted payloads.

🚨 NASA IS ABOUT TO LET A PRIVATE SPACECRAFT RESCUE ONE OF ITS MOST IMPORTANT TELESCOPES. The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory has been hunting gamma-ray bursts the most powerful explosions in the universe since 2004. It’s still working perfectly, but Earth’s atmosphere has been slowly dragging it down toward a fiery reentry. Now, NASA is turning to a commercial company to save it. Katalyst Space Technologies’ robotic spacecraft Link will launch later this month, rendezvous with Swift, dock with it, and boost the telescope into a higher, safer orbit extending its life by years. Why this matters: • It’s the first time a private spacecraft will perform an orbital boost on a U.S. government science satellite • Swift remains one of the best tools we have for studying gamma-ray bursts and other high-energy cosmic events • Without this mission, the telescope could have deorbited as early as this year • It shows how commercial space companies are now capable of performing complex servicing missions that were once only possible for governments The deeper implication: We’re entering a new era where valuable scientific infrastructure in orbit doesn’t have to be considered disposable. Instead of building and launching entirely new telescopes when old ones start to decay, we can now extend their lives through commercial servicing. This approach is faster, cheaper, and more sustainable and it could become a standard model for protecting high-value space assets in the future. Sometimes the most important space missions aren’t about discovering something new. They’re about making sure we don’t lose what we already have. Would you support more commercial missions to rescue and extend aging space telescopes? Follow for more frontier space exploration, satellite servicing, and NASA missions.

The Sabotaging Practice of Over Supply and Sameness in the NFT Space. The current zeitgeist of the NFT space is that the same artists are doing the same kind of work five times a year, with project after project leaving a trail of disappointment and discontent among collectors and all of us watching in disbelief as huge resources are extracted from the space over work that feels like it could be left as an "artist study." I understand that you can do what you want with your money as collectors, but we are killing the whole space with this incestuous practice. No artist is that prolific to be able to do 5 collections of 100+ pieces each every year and actually deliver innovation and some kind of creative evolution. Of course, they can pretend play that the work has something new, but there is no precedent nor proof that that has ever happened in the speed that it happens in the NFT space. Again, people are free to through away their resources on whatever they want but with this way of doing things, we more and more are going to start seeing the consequences. Oh! There are consequences? Yes. Maybe unintended, but there are. Let's see. Let's start with the loss of belief in the NFT space as somewhere where emerging artists can come and find support for their experiments. Why even bother to bring experiments, innovation, and new ways to think of art on the blockchain if the same people have all the collectors hypnotized with their magical flutes? Why even try to come to a space where taking risks and challenging the status quo (the mission of art!!!) is overlooked? This makes the NFT space a social club and not a space for art. I guess it is fine, but IMO it is a recipe for disaster. New collectors stay away because the art will slowly but surely become stale and un-challenging. Why even bother to come and see what is happening here if you can't, as a collector, see new weird and up-and-coming artists? The amount of noise emitted by the same artists doing the same art over and over, drowns out any new voices. Again. A recipe for disaster. The NFT space is becoming a space of disappointment and doubt. We think that collections going to zero one after the other, over and over, is not damaging? I feel we are kidding ourselves. Disappointment piles up, and again, the people who will hurt are the emerging artists, the new blood, the ones who are willing to risk the most and, in return, put fire in this cold space of sameness. I love this space—don't get me wrong—it has changed my life, and I believe it has a ton of potential, but things need to change for it to become a beacon of light in art. But we need to support new voices. We need to support new ideas. The challenge is huge. I hope to contribute all I can to this change. I hope more and more see how exciting it is to go out and try to discover what else is out there and move this space forward. But again, I understand the leaps of faith needed, but if there is a space that is based on that, it's the NFT space...so there is hope. We will see. 📺by Boldtron
