This is crazy. Michael Bretti is a one-man #space propulsion company. He literally has to do everything himself: Thruster design, #electronics, research, analysis, testing diagnostics and infrastructure. Wow👉bit.ly/3i7UYOE #enetrepreneur #cubesat #STEM #satellite

Part 2 of the deep-dive interview with @SovereignMoonHQ, exploring some of the challenges not only with miniaturization in the field of EP, but some of the personal challenges I face myself in this development with AIS, which you have all witnessed first hand here as it happens!

Did you know there are over 100 million bits of space debris in low earth orbit? NZ takes its role as a responsible space actor seriously; anything launched from here must comply with international debris mitigation standards. Have a read here; mbie.govt.nz/assets/orbital… Gif: ESA

The sad reality is that nanosats and picosats still have an extremely high failure rate upon delivery to orbit. Occasionally you will see a press release about a major success, but most of the time there is silence. 👉bit.ly/35GYPyR #space #cubesat #nanosat #picosat

I spoke with Kalle Vaha-Jaakkola from Space Nation and asked him about growth obstacles. His response... "I would say that growth obstacles are ultimately always internal.... a venture to outer space is a venture to inner space" 👉bit.ly/3hG93lA #space #Entrepreneur
