The space economy is taking off. 🚀 Chad Anderson, Managing Partner at Space Capital, talks how capital & innovation are shaping the future of space on the latest #TakingStock with Trinity Chavez. #TSTC

El Segundo is one of the fastest-growing destinations for entrepreneurs that are solving hard problems to transform the future of American spaceflight. That’s why we’re excited to bring the space industry together in El Segundo for happy hour on June 11. Our co-founders Steve Massey and Charles (Zeke) Brechtel saw the growth of El Segundo up close while living in the area and working at SpaceX. In recent months, the national media has taken note — that’s because El Segundo is home to a cross-section of startups, enterprise companies, and government leaders — all mission-minded and focused on building complex hardware. Collaboration will be absolutely crucial to continue to grow the industry, in El Segundo and beyond. That’s why we’re excited to be partnering with Generation Space, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Deloitte for this happy hour. Join us to kick off summer and make new friends! LA Space Industry Happy Hour  📅When: June 11, 5:00 — 8:00 PM  📍Where: Lil Simmzy’s on the Deck, Los Angeles 🍻Food and drink will be provided. ▶️RSVP: https://lu.ma/q7okfj3t #aerospace #space #tech

Thirty-five years ago today, SpaceNews published its first issue, defying naysayers who claimed the space industry circa 1989 was too small to justify a dedicated weekly publication. With a small but passionate team — much like today’s — we set out to cover the business and politics of space at a time when commercialization was still in its infancy. Three and a half decades later, we find ourselves reporting on an industry that has grown and flourished beyond anything we could have imagined. From the early government-dominated space programs to today’s bustling commercial ventures, the landscape has dramatically changed—but our mission remains the same: to provide clear, insightful, and authoritative coverage of the business, politics, and technology driving the space industry. https://lnkd.in/eDti-xHg

Congrats team Lodestar Space to closing this £2.5M pre seed round! Off to the (new space) races. At Inflection.xyz we are committed to pioneer sovereign computation as the biggest leverage for human progress. The space economy will help us provide valuable services from imagery and connectivity on earth all the way to in space semiconductor production, energy harnessing, regulating the earths climate and becoming an interplanetary species in the long run. Object manipulation is a very present bottleneck for repair, refuelling and other services. As opposed to tele operated robots that come with high latency, connectivity issues, human failure and high costs Lodestar Space is taking a different approach. By leveraging new materials, additive manufacturing and advancements in AI and in-space „edge“ compute capabilities (see our portfolio Cryptosat) they enable autonomous robotics operating in real time and far beyond human precision. Based on their space specific data set - robots and objects behave very differently at 0 gravity, extreme light conditions and temperatures - new applications and interfaces become possible. Data network effects are expected to accelerate development across verticals.

On this day in 1991, the first ever email was sent from space. A lot of tech innovation made that happen, and shows how important it is to embrace it. What tech innovation most inspires you? #TechInnovation #BusinessGrowth #SpaceHistory https://lnkd.in/dtFiJ_p

Space companies often focus their messaging on investors and the government (or their own industry... the echo chamber is real). But what about the public? Growing up, I was captivated by following the XPRIZE. Seeing people turn audacious dreams of going to space into reality inspired my belief that the future of space exploration really could open up to anyone who *wants* to be a part of it. That same excitement is what has driven me to help space companies and founders tell their stories to garner support for their work over the last five years. Building public support is critical for: + Generating trust and enthusiasm for what you're working on. + Strengthening partnerships with governments and private sectors. + Attracting the next generation of space innovators. Your challenge: Make your work accessible and inspiring for everyone... because every person is a potential advocate for your mission. A public that believes space will actually do something for them... is a public that will fund it, without the resentment that is becoming so intense in the industry.

DRIVING THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF SPACE 💰 🚀 💰 ! At Space Network, we are advancing the commercial growth of the global space sector and the integration of space technology across all industries. Read my article below, where we discuss our "first principles" approach to supporting, connecting, and funding the globally interconnected space economy.

Space Systems Command’s Space Domain Awareness Tools, Applications, and Processing Lab (SDA TAP Lab), the organization and its sister program, the Overhead Persistent Infrared TAP Lab, are government-run tech incubators, bringing together Guardians, private companies, and academic experts for three-month sprints to solve pressing challenges in tracking and characterizing threats to US forces. “The commercial market is very important to space domain awareness, but it’s relatively small,” Major Sean Allen, who leads the SDA TAP Lab, told Payload “The kind of competitive or collaborative engagements that stir innovation, there are very few opportunities…to foster collaboration between these different parts of our community, industry, academia, government, partners and allies.” Planetary Systems AI is working with some of the brightest minds and developers prototyping #AI solutions.
