what’s holding them up? I don’t see an overhead counterbalance or air bearings from the bottom…doesn’t make sense they could support their own weight in 0g

good point!

⚡ Redwire successfully deployed one of our our most powerful Roll-Out Solar Arrays (ROSA) ever built for the lunar Gateway’s Power and Propulsion Element (PPE)! The Gateway ROSAs will generate an unprecedented 60kW - making these the most powerful ROSAs ever built. The pair of PPE ROSAs will undergo additional testing in the coming months as Redwire prepares to deliver the ROSA wings to Maxar in the fourth quarter of 2025. We are grateful to our customer :) and Gateway's industry and International partners for joining us and witnessing the deployment and their support on the importance of the Gateway to deep space exploration of the Moon and Mars.

Elon Musk: The lowest cost place to put AI data centers will be space ---- “The lowest cost place to put AI will be space. I think the case is a no-brainer for building AI, solar-powered AI data centers in space because, as you mentioned, it's also very cold in space. If you're in the shadow, then it's very cold in space, just 3 degrees Kelvin. So you just have your solar panels facing the Sun and then a radiator that's like pointed away from the Sun, so it has no Sun incidence and then it's just cooling. It's a very efficient cooling system. So the net effect is that the lowest cost place to put AI will be space and that'll be true within two years, maybe three, three at the latest.”

Elon Musk predicts that more than 90% of Earth's power will eventually come from solar with batteries "Satellites are just solar panels and a battery. That’s how all satellites work. With the Starlink satellite network, there’s 7,000 (now ~10K) satellites orbiting the Earth, and all they use is solar panels and a battery My prediction is, long-term, a majority of power on Earth - in fact, eventually it might be like 90% or more- will be solar panels with batteries That's my prediction. My predictions have a pretty good track record" Starlink already proves it works at massive scale in space

🇨🇳 Just after the U.S admitted it has space weapons, China broke new records in sea-launched space missions by sending nine satellites into orbit The Gravity-1 rocket lifted off near Shanghai and delivered eight communication satellites for Qianfan. One more "test" satellite rode along, all the way up to 800 kilometers. State media is calling it the world's first sea launch of a broadband megaconstellation. But the timing is what makes this worth a second look… Less than two weeks before this launch, one of China's own satellites, tied to its secretive Yaogan military reconnaissance program, broke apart in orbit for reasons nobody has confirmed. And now, the U.S. Space Force has officially confirmed it has deployed weapons into orbit for the first time. China immediately hit back, telling Washington to "stop preparing for war in space". Makes you wonder what the "test" satellite was that hitched a ride Writers: Bri, Ian

"The market for nuclear power in space will be much larger, and move a lot faster than a lot of people think." —Antares CEO Jordan Bramble "The overwhelming thing that will drive that is — space is now a warfighting domain. As we seek to employ higher-powered assets in Earth orbit and cislunar space, there's pretty clear physics that a nuclear power system scales more favorably on a size and weight basis compared to solar panels." "If you want to have a 100 kW spacecraft, those solar panels would be the size of a football field. You could do a similarly sized nuclear-powered spacecraft and fit it on a Falcon 9."

SOLAR-POWERED WAITING SHEDS IN METRO MANILA ☀️ WATCH: MMDA General Manager Nicolas Torre said the agency is finalizing plans with Meralco and a private partner to install solar panels in waiting sheds across Metro Manila within the year. "It will be done at no cost to the government," Torre said, noting that no public funds will be spent on the project and that the government's role is only to provide the areas where the panels will be installed.

China sent a new satellite group into space from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in north China's Shanxi Province on Tuesday. The satellite group was launched at 19:59 (Beijing Time) aboard a modified Long March-6 carrier rocket and successfully entered its preset orbit. The satellites will make up the Spacesail Constellation, a Chinese low-orbit satellite network intended for commercial use. This launch marked the 642nd flight mission of the Long March carrier rocket series, according to the launch center.

Watch video as farmers are being asked to sell land for Solar Panels. 💥Don’t allow our rush to green energy override the very soil that sustains us. Did you know that 83% of planned solar development will take place on agricultural land? And worse still, nearly half of that land is “nationally significant” farmland in terms of productivity and stability? Solar panels aren’t as clean as they look. Most photovoltaic (PV) panels have toxic substances like cadmium, lead, and selenium. The toxic substances leach into the soil and groundwater over time and cause damage to the environment, particularly if panels are damaged during storms or due to mishandling. Not just agriculture is harmed by this type of pollution—it harms wildlife, ecosystems, and the local people who rely on clean water.

Did you know that the government wants to charge you for the solar power that you don't use? This "sun tax" will charge you 1.2 cents per every kilowatt hour of energy your solar panels generate that you do not use. The sun tax will be mandatory in NSW form next year and it is spreading elsewhere next! Labor is now even taxing the sun!

The B18.3 test article seems to have suffered a structural failure during qualification testing of the Integrated Hot Staging Ring for the V3 Booster. It appears that it buckled beneath the common dome weld which is not ideal, considering that was not the component being tested for structural integrity. Hopefully they were able to gather the data they were hoping for and won't need to replace this test article in order to complete this extremely important test. 📽️: Avid Space

Gigascale Founder and former Meta CTO Mike Schroepfer says new solar startups will go after installation costs rather than compete with China on solar panels. "If you look at a solar farm, you lay down all this steel and put up all this framing for the panels. When that panel was the most expensive thing on the field, then [startups producing solar panels] made sense." "But solar panels are now the cheapest thing in the field. All the rest of the stuff costs more than the panel." "I think what we're going to see is startups saying, 'Let's rethink how we actually deploy solar from a form-factor and automation perspective. And just go after installation costs.'"
