Ich sprach über Projekte des @DLR, besuchte einen #Spaceplane-Demonstrator von #POLARIS, lernte etwas über #Rührreibschweißen und Kommunikation im All, bekam ein Update zum Satelliten #VIBES Pioneer, informierte mich über #Shaker und erfuhr mehr über Projekte der studentischen Raumfahrt.

a very #British epitaph for any technology: "We failed because we ran out of money."

"Reaction Engines hoped one day its tech would power a reusable space plane"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y5zg85wnlo

"Rolls-Royce said it had other priorities and the UK military has very little money."

BBC NewsWhat happens when a high-tech project fails?Workers at Reaction Engines felt they were close to completing a revolutionary jet engine.

More KSP stuff. A heavy lifter SSTO that is designed to deliver large payloads into orbit. In theory it is fully IVA traversable, but some of the OPT parts don’t support freeIVA.

Moin #Raumfahrt -Community!
Heute muss ich mal wieder auf #PolarisSpaceplaned zu sprechen kommen. Ihr erinnert euch, letztes Jahr haben sie weltweit zum ersten mal ein #LinearAerospike -Triebwerk im Flug gezündet. Jetzt haben sie von der #Bundeswehr einen Auftrag zur Entwicklung eines zweistufigen Raumflugzeugs bekommen. Da könnte etwas Wichtiges entstehen.
Hier mal ein Artikel dazu:
