$mmat industry awareness 🧵1/7

@Metamaterialtec makes materials engineered with properties not found in nature, such as superconductivity, negative index of refraction, and cloaking abilities. They will revolutionize #industries like #aerospace, #defense, & #telecommunications!

2/7
META can create transparent #antennas with greater electrical efficiency for improved #communications; concentrate #solarenergy in a much smaller area for increased efficiency; or reduce the radar signature of ships and submarines for a #tactical advantage.

3/7
In addition to #telecommunications and #military applications, metamaterials could be used to make buildings more efficient by providing smart glass that manipulates light in ways that can't be achieved with traditional construction techniques. #StructuralStability

Kayrros data show #CO2 emissions levels from #Europe and #China started dropping last month, and have reached levels unseen since the worst of the Covid pandemic. (1/6)

Although this is good news from a #climate perspective, it is a worrying sign that the global #economy is coming under serious strain from the effect of high #energy prices and supply chain issues. (2/6)

In #China, overall CO2 #emissions have been in a counter-seasonal decline and cement production has dropped to levels normally unseen at this time of year. (3/6)

Here’s the first one. #Thread #Satellites #Debris

Exclusive: More than 10yrs after it was launched, #MeghaTropiques, @isro & @CNES joint weather modelling satellite that was studying water cycle & energy exchanges in the tropics has reached what’s called “end of mission”. 1/n

https://twitter.com/Chethan_Dash/status/1511935022185558017

The satellite, which was launched in October 2011 and initially estimated to have a life of five years has worked for five-years-and-six-months more than initial estimations and sent in at least 5TB of raw data which has yielded around 30TB of data sitting on various servers. 2/n

A senior Isro scientist said: “As on date, the satellite still has 120kg of fuel and end of mission is also not because of failures in communication, solar panels or any other systems or because we lost communication. All of those are still working.” 3/n

#SpaceX launches 48 new #Starlink satellites into orbit!
Are they insured?

Elon Musk’s aerospace company SpaceX successfully deployed 48 new Starlink satellites into orbit this Wednesday. (1/5)

Starlink is a constellation of broadband satellites that SpaceX is assembling in low earth orbit to provide internet access to most of the world.

This mission to provide high-speed internet to remote locations has been widely commended, but it isn't free from controversy. (2/5)

As over 6000 #satellites orbit Earth, many astronomers have pointed out the increasing chances of collision with an aircraft or another satellite. If such a collision were to occur, the loss would be astronomical!

And this is where Satellite Insurance becomes useful. (3/5)

Happy first day of #BlackHistoryMonth! To celebrate, we'll periodically take time to honor the brilliant Black minds that have contributed to our field over the years. A thread:

@6Gems

First up in our series: @6Gems, who founded @BlackGirlsCode after noticing the severe underrepresentation of minorities in the startup world. Bryant's nonprofit has enabled many young black girls to create meaningful work & go on to become leaders in their communities. #BHM2022

@6Gems

@6Gems @BlackGirlsCode Katherine Johnson was a human computer whose calculations were essential to @NASA's Project Mercury, Apollo 11, and more. When the space program switched to digital computers, Johnson helped confirm the accuracy of their calculations.

2021 has been exciting! We’ve signed our first customer for our maiden flight, reached crucial milestones in our launcher development & our #community grew rapidly. So we want to quickly introduce ourselves to our new followers and recap with the long-time #supporters ⬇️ 1/12

RFA was founded in 2018 to disrupt the #NewSpace industry and match the emerging demand for launch opportunities for small #satellites by providing launch services that are reliable, highly customizable, low-cost and deliver the payloads precisely to the desired orbit. 2/12

Our launch vehicle #RFAONE is a 30m high and 2m wide 3-staged rocket, launching satellites of up to 1350 kg into polar orbits/up to 450 kg into GTO. The main structural elements consist of tanks made of a special stainless steel, which becomes very tough at #cryogenic temp. 3/12

While there are lots of problems with FB, Insta & co, Meta's newest project, the metaverse, sound super exciting! Looks like Meta is putting lots of money towards Oculus' #quest to build long-distance-presence solutions.

#metaverse #meta #facebook

2 reasons why the Metaverse has potential:

1. Most importantly, remote work is here to stay. But for hybrid work settings (i.e. some in the office, some remote) there is no good solution yet. Metaverse intends to solve that.

2. Many of today's issues require coordination on a global scale. Think of the #ClimateCrisis, the #BiodiversityCrisis, overcoming #NeoColonialism and #inequality, et cetera. The Metaverse promises to make such coordination comfortable, natural and effective.

🙅‍♂️"Pas de retombée" ... ça dépend de l'orbite.
La plus encombrée est l'orbite basse. À cette altitude, les objets vont effectivement très vite. Cependant, ils subissent une trainée due à des résidus d'atmosphère, ce qui le fait tomber.

2/🌏#Earth is surrounded by a constellation of tens of thousands of #satellites in orbit, but also of billions of #spacejunk of more or less large size, fragments coming from rockets or satellites, travelling at a very high speed: important risks of #collision.

3/💥#Kessler syndrome: we are rapidly moving towards a tipping point where the volume of space debris in low orbit is such that collisions are frequent, generate other debris and exponentially increase the probability of collisions.

Item #3 for building back better
#DIGITIZATION

We are unlikely to return to the same state of the world as when we entered the #pandemic, nor is this desirable. #Remoteworking has the potential to become more prevalent after the crisis.

2/4
Investments might shift from face-to-face working (and lower the cost of #officerealestate and time for #commuting).

3/4
#Stimulus spending should focus investments on the enablers of this new approach to work, e.g., #5G rollouts, #broadband infrastructure, #satellites for global reach, server farms for adequate capacity, etc, all with effective #privacy protection.

Did you know that Geosynchronous #satellites do THE WAVE each day?
I created this animation of movement over a full day to show you.
(dots: satellites. colours: kernel density of that part of the geosynchronous belt)
@drspacejunk @RainerKresken @planet4589

@SpaceForceDoD

Now you also know why the @SpaceForceDoD wants Navy ranks...it's an ocean out there.... ;-)

As people ask me what causes this daily wave in the geosynchronous belt: it is a tidal effect due to solilunar perturbations on the satellite orbit.
This also causes a long-term (55 year) oscillation of the orbital inclination in GEO between 0 and 15 degrees.
