Are you ready for a little Ingenuity?
NASA will this week make its first attempt at powered, controlled flight of an aircraft on another planet.
A tiny helicopter called Ingenuity is currently on the Martian surface, having been deposited there by the Perseverance rover, which landed on in the Jezero Crater on February 18.

MAKING IN SPACE
FROM MINING TO MANUFACTURING
As humanity expands into space and unlocks the incalculable abundance of the CisLunar Econosphere, Orbital Manufacturing is a necessary first step.
Here on Earth, settlements emerged around concentrations of natural resources: rivers, forests, ores, harbors, fertile fields. Roads then developed between the resources and settlements, and towns grew. Resource extraction (mining) and resource optimization (manufacturing) evolved. Eventually, specialization led to local, regional, and national competitive advantages. With growth speeding the process, communities and people prospered!
This month, we’ll explore the evolution of orbital manufacturing, its technological and production capabilities on orbit, and the financial and industrial impacts on the United States.

Welcome!
The debut of “Space Matters-Pillars of the Space Industry” is scheduled to take place this coming Saturday, March 20th at 10:00AM PST.
Greetings Space Lovers! I wanted to personally invite each of you to join us in supporting the world premiere of the awesome new television show “Space Matters”, hosted by Rhonda Stevenson, of Tau Zero Foundation! The show airs this coming Saturday, March 20th @ 10am PST! Please download the e360tv app to view on Roku, IOS, Android, and other live streaming platforms.
]]>Different methods of searching for and finding distant exoplanets give different information about the planets found.
The transit method — where an exoplanets passed in front of its sun and dims the bright sunlight ever so slightly — gives astronomers not only a detection but also its radius or size.
The radial velocity method — where an exoplanet’s gravity causes its host star to “wobble” in a way that can be measured — provides different information about mass and orbit.

- Centripetal Elevators (Space Elevators from Earth).
We’ll look at both through the lens of.
1) hardware, 2) business, 3) outreach, and 4) framework.

SN10 Successful Flight and soft Landing, 15min later methane leak goes boom
STARSHIP SN10 10KM FLIGHT Links: SpaceX Official: www.SpaceX.comSpaceX YouTu… See More.
As early as Wednesday, March 3, the SpaceX team will attempt a high-altitude flight test of Starship serial number 10 (SN10) – our third high-altitude suborbital flight test of a Starship prototype from SpaceX’s site in Cameron County, Texas. Similar to the high-altitude flight tests of Starship SN8 and SN9, SN10 will be powered through ascent by three Raptor engines, each shutting down in sequence prior to the vehicle reaching apogee – approximately 10 km in altitude. SN10 will perform a propellant transition to the internal header tanks, which hold landing propellant, before reorienting itself for reentry and a controlled aerodynamic descent.
The Starship prototype will descend under active aerodynamic control, accomplished by independent movement of two forward and two aft flaps on the vehicle. All four flaps are actuated by an onboard flight computer to control Starship’s attitude during flight and enable precise landing at the intended location. SN10’s Raptor engines will then reignite as the vehicle attempts a landing flip maneuver immediately before touching down on the landing pad adjacent to the launch mount.
]]>SN10 Flight Test LIVE STREAM
SpaceX is set to launch the Starship SN10 prototype to an altitude of approximately 10 kilometers. A launch attempt is possible between 9 am and 6 pm Central time on Wednesday. However, as with testing, there is always a chance that teams could decide to stand down and try again on a different day.
