The Netherlands Space Office was officially transformed into the Netherlands Space Agency during the Amsterdam Space Symposium. This marks the realization of the government’s aim to give the Dutch space organization a stronger international profile. nlsa.nl/en/netherlands…

It’s been a busy start to the year, with lots of new activity on satsearch. As buyer traffic continues to grow, we continue to also grow our supplier network. Accordingly, we’d like to take a moment to properly welcome recent new members to the satsearch membership program.

Masterclass in designing robust and resilient systems for space. A great primer on FDIR if you're looking for one!

🛫 ☀️ When the Sun disrupts aviation Did you know that #SpaceWeather can affect flights in surprising ways? One phenomenon gaining attention is the impact of energetic charged particles - originating from our Sun and even distant stars - on aircraft electronics. esa.int/Space_Safety/S…

The Voyager 1 spacecraft celebrates 48 years in space today! After visiting Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager 1 became the most distant human-made object on Feb 17, 1998. It is now more than 15.6 billion miles from the Sun, zooming through interstellar space. go.nasa.gov/465yRCZ

ESA's astronomers are actively tracking 3I/ATLAS, which is now the third confirmed interstellar comet to pass through our Solar System! More info at: esa.int/Space_Safety/P…

Are you evaluating inertial sensors for attitude determination in your next space mission? If so, we've just published a concise new overview of technologies on the market, featuring products by @Bradford_Space @NewSpaceSystems and @space_inventor

yo whats going on in the Netherlands. stocking up their defense systems. after the US they are the second biggest users on our platform as well right now

NEW PODCAST ALERT In the latest episode of the Space Industry podcast by satsearch our COO @cosmosguru spoke with Antonio Vázquez García, Co-founder and Head of Business Development at @alenspace on the evolution of CubeSat technology.

DM me if you're going to be around in Logan and fancy a chat about space supply chains, demand trends, and GTM strategies.

Can you offer an IOD mission to a willing buyer? A qualified satsearch buyer is looking for IOD mission provider so they can test a new propulsion system. This is a great opportunity for any supplier capable of facilitating a IOD/IOV or hosted payload mission.

@ashwinl From what I remember, @GeoPhy developed this as part of their platform, although I don't know if they're actually offering building geolocation as a service to customers.

ASK: Any friends in my {space/GIS/data infra/computer vision} startup network can help? Have an enterprise multi-national ($30B+ market cap) decision maker (buyer with $$$ budget) looking to geolocate buildings using imagery (satellite, plane, balloon etc.) in large cities. Current market offerings are not scalable. Any startups you know of? DM for more detail. "Getting images is easy. Being able to store and process is challenging at scale. Cloud providers are curiously not that ready" cc: @karkum84 @AstroLawyer @karantalati @migtissera @llcrabbie @bradneuberg @vikasreddy @abemurray @naywilliams @jaimalik @reneeshah123 @AdamPorterPrice @JeffCrusey @Sam__Cash

@satsearchco CEO & and Co-founder @karkum84 will be attending the @SSSIForum in Málaga, Spain. If you'd like to receive more insights on satsearch is helping global space organizations please feel free to book a meeting with Kartik using this link: tidycal.com/kartikkumar/ss… #Space

Excellent news for the space science community!

It’s time to say goodbye 👋🥹 Our ‘Salsa’ satellite has danced its final dance, marking the beginning of the end for one of ESA’s longest-serving missions. 💃🏽 esa.int/Enabling_Suppo… #ClusterMission

Flight 72. That’s the final flight for our Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter. Ingenuity and its team proved that powered, controlled flight on another world was possible. #ThanksIngenuity. You may rest, but your legacy will continue to soar: go.nasa.gov/4ba7byi

Will be in Orlando from Saturday to Saturday. Drop me a DM or using the link below so we meet. Would love to catch up and talk space!

@NanoAvionics Congrats on a fabulous journey through the cosmos!

10 years ago today, NanoAvionics didn't yet exist. But a passionate group of engineers and researchers launched the first Lithuanian satellite, LituanicaSAT-1, which months later became the foundation of NanoAvionics. Little did we know what snowball effect this palm-sized satellite weighing a mere kilogram would initiate: In a little under a decade, that small team from a university research lab grew into an international company that's launched more nanosatellites in the past 5 years than any other external satellite manufacturer in Europe or the United States, produces satellites two orders of magnitude larger than LituanicaSAT-1, and is part of a global technological powerhouse with over 200 years of industrial experience - KONGSBERG. None of this would have been possible without the trust of our customers, supporters, and mentors along the way, which we are extremely grateful for. As much as it is a nice day for us to look back at, we hope it acts as motivation for anyone looking at their lofty dreams, however far-fetched they may seem at the moment. We hope your snowball gets rolling and you enjoy it one spin at a time. P.S. That is the first image captured by LituanicaSAT-1 in orbit. Those, too, have come a long way.
