Reliability With SpaceX: To The Moon And Back!

This year has been turbulent with the global pandemic spreading like wildfire and bringing the entire world to a brief standstill moment. While everyone was worried about surviving the pandemic, NASA and SpaceX kept working in the background to mark one of the biggest, historic moments of the year.

May 30, 2020, will forever be etched in history as NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley blasted off on an iconic mission. The mission involved the first spacecraft designed, built, owned, and operated by a space agency in the US. Also, a private space agency, marking the first truly private-sector launch into space. It was also the first manned crew launching from the US soil since the space shuttle program ended nearly ten years ago.

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the Crew Dragon capsule lifted off carrying two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. Marked as the Demo-2 mission, its success has unfolded new chapters in the space program, research, and further exploration. More importantly, it has also made the US self-reliant for the future space missions, including the much-awaited Artemis mission and Mars mission.

To The Moon…

The NASA Artemis mission is probably one of the most ambitious space missions in modern times. Ever since the Apollo 11 landed on the lunar surface back in 1969, NASA has been working on sending humans to the Moon. The Artemis mission involves sending the first woman and the next man to the Moon, particularly to the lunar south pole by 2024.

NASA will be “using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before. We will collaborate with our commercial and international partners and establish sustainable exploration by the end of the decade,” notes the space agency.

The success of the first manned flight aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is one of the key determining factors to the success of the Artemis program. No doubt the success of the Artemis program will change the world and the way we look at the Moon at night.

… And Beyond

The Artemis mission is also the base platform for the future and further space missions. Setting up a base on the Moon, NASA aims to send astronauts to Mars. While explaining the Artemis program, NASA notes that it “will use what we learn on and around the Moon to take the next giant leap – sending astronauts to Mars.”

NASA’s innovative technology and the team of researchers have already begun understanding the Red Planet. Thanks to the NASA InSight lander and the gear on it, NASA can collect Martian rock and soil samples. The lander is also aiding in better understanding the atmosphere, crucial for human-led research. Thanks to its innovative technology, we’re also able to better understand the possibility of water flow of rivers, seas, and other water bodies that might have existed on Mars.

Come, Fly To Space

While the above-mentioned space missions might sound hefty and quite dream-like to ordinary people, don’t forget that there are plenty of opportunities opening up for private space travel. America has opened doors to many private space agencies, including SpaceX, Amazon’s Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, Boeing, and so on.

All of them are now working on the most unforgettable travel: a round trip to outer space, allowing people to view the Earth as it’s supposed to be, from its orbit.

What seems straight out of science fiction, the possibilities of what NASA can achieve with its innovative mindset are limitless. Joined with private space agencies, NASA’s possibilities for the future have only multiplied. For all we know, the mission to the Moon could be the dawn of new beginnings in space exploration. From here, we can head out further into our Solar System bringing a string of inspiration and innovation for the generations to come.

Connectivity For Everyone, From Anywhere

Apart from aiding NASA and astronauts in sending them to outer space, SpaceX is also working on improving internet connectivity across the globe. This brings us to the SpaceX Starlink project, an ambitious one at that. The Starlink mission involves a satellite constellation to provide satellite will consist of thousands of mass-produced small satellites in the low Earth orbit.

One can’t fail to admit that despite improved communication networks, there are plenty of places across the globe with hardly reliable modes of communication, especially a reliable internet connection. SpaceX is aiming to put an end to this situation with the Starlink project by providing reliable internet across the globe.

The Starlink is SpaceX’s way of developing and providing a low latency, broadband internet system to meet the growing demands of consumers across the globe. It should be noted that SpaceX is leveraging its rocket and spacecraft building technology to deploy the world’s most advanced broadband internet system.

Wielding a Transformative Vision in Today’s Global Market

The Home Energy Management System by tiko allows retrofits. Even customers who might rent an apartment that embodies old convectors are able to augment energy efficiency and comfort. This is innovative in itself. However, the prime mover is that they participate in the VPP and speed up the amalgamation of renewables in the world’s energy supply. This makes a difference.

The Virtual Power Plant and Energy Management System coalesce to make this solution unique. It leads to the creation of unique business models with grand security standards.

To provide internet to the entire globe, hundreds, no thousands of satellites, or a megaconstellation of satellites are required. The first batch of Starlink satellites was sent in February 2018. And so far, 482 satellites have been launched.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk notes that at least 400 Starlink satellites are needed for minimal internet coverage and at least 800 for moderate coverage, expected to rollout later this year. Moreover, Musk had earlier tweeted, “Hey, it’s working” as a confirmation that the first few satellites are working, a celebratory note indeed.

What’s Next SpaceX?

There’s no stopping SpaceX! The future certainly seems exciting as there’s an entire universe waiting to be explored. For all we know, both SpaceX, NASA, along with other space agencies are working on future missions. As Musk says, “When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor,” we’re eager to see how this futuristic company and its far-sighted leadership will lead into the future.

And not to forget another important message, “failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating.” Despite the various ups and downs, SpaceX might face, we’re certain it will continue innovating.
