In the second episode of this docu series, we take a closer look into what it took to build ESA’s Young Professional Satellite (YPSat). YPSat’s mission objectives are to capture the key moments of Ariane 6’s inaugural flight and take in-orbit pictures of Earth and space. To achieve this, the satellite requires the multiple sub-systems to work in harmony and adhere to a pre-defined mission sequence.
This episode zooms in four of the sub-systems: the Wake-Up System (WUS), Battery, On-Board Computer (OBC) and Telecommunications.
Running at ultra low power, the WUS circuit board was designed, tested and manufactured specifically

They say it takes a village to raise a child. To launch a rocket, we have the combined expertise and passion of Space Team Europe. Alexis Van Lysebeth is one of many making the first Ariane 6 launch possible and has been interviewed as part of a series highlighting some of the people that make up this dream team.
Working for Belgian company SABCA, Alexis is part of the team supplying the actuation systems for Ariane 6. The actuators have been upgraded for Ariane 6 and will be electromechanical – meaning electiricy is used to turn them on
Sidus Space and Stennis complete key objectives of in-space payload mission
Sidus Space, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIDU) has announced that in partnership with the space agency Stennis Space Center, the primary objectives of the the space agency Autonomous Satellite Technology for Resilient Applications (ASTRA) payload mission were successfully met on July 1, 2024.

Cosmic Shielding Corporation (CSC), providers of the worlds leading space radiation shielding technologies, will be utilized to develop an AI-capable space computer that uses the Nvidia Jetson Orin NX GPU. This will mark the first time a GPU from the latest Nvidia Orin ecosystem has been sent to space and will be part of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base, Califor Scientists reveal the density differences of sub-Neptunes due to resonance
The majority of stars in our galaxy host planets, with sub-Neptunes, which are planets sized between Earth and Neptune, being the most common. Estimating their density has been a significant challenge for scientists because the method used to measure their mass highlights two distinct populations: dense and less dense.
