Stephanie Soquet’s Post

#TechTuesday Meet Stephen Samples, a research scientist in the Propulsion Science Department at Aerospace. He tests and characterizes all sizes of electric propulsion devices, ranging from very large Hall-effect thrusters to very small micropropulsion thrusters. From a young age, Stephen was interested in being one of two things: Either serving in the Air Force or becoming an astronaut. As he progressed through his education and into graduate school, he realized his interests in space technology had honed in on EP and CubeSats. One of the best parts about working at Aerospace? "I really enjoy the the culture at Aerospace; we're very collaborative. One of the cool things is everyone's kind of an expert in something. So there's everything you can imagine in the space industry."

Innovation at its best

Manufactering innovation needs research for safe handling...

Same same but different. I will recommend this Article to everyone who is interested in innovation in the NewSpace Sector and the reality in old economy thinking 🧐 https://lnkd.in/dWNRsMZM

Researchers may soon be discovering the depths of our oceans with the Bioinspired Magnetoelastic Artificial Skin (BMAS). This tool equips underwater robots with a touch akin to human senses, revolutionizing our approach to marine exploration. It's an exciting blend of classic adventure and modern tech, opening new doors to the mysteries hidden beneath the sea. BMAS is key in sustainably utilizing ocean resources. It allows for careful and responsible interaction with marine life and ecosystems, reducing human risks while enhancing our exploratory capabilities. This technology marks a significant step in ocean conservation and resource management. This advancement in marine technology is more than an exploration tool; it's a symbol of progress where innovation and environmental care converge. BMAS extends its impact beyond the seas, heralding an era where technology and nature exist in harmony, reshaping our interaction with the world. #MarineTechnology #SustainableExploration #Innovation Read more: https://lnkd.in/g68mTVnZ

🚀 Exciting times in the realm of space innovation! 🌌 I want to shine a spotlight on Varda Space, a pioneering company that is transforming the way we think about manufacturing in space. With a vision to harness the unique environment of low Earth orbit, Varda Space is poised to revolutionize various industries by producing high-quality materials and products that can only be created in microgravity. A special mention goes to Delian Asparov from Founders Fund, whose passion and commitment to Varda Space are truly inspiring. His belief in the potential of space manufacturing and the impact it can have on our future is a driving force behind the company’s mission. With visionary leaders like Delian at the helm, Varda is set to unlock new possibilities and pave the way for humanity's next great leap. Let's keep an eye on Varda Space as they continue to push boundaries and redefine what's possible in the cosmos! 🌠 #SpaceManufacturing #Innovation #VardaSpace #FoundersFund #DelianAsparov #FutureOfSpace

MBARI has been a key partner with Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in many research and resource protection initiatives, including exploration and characterization of Davidson Seamount, the USS Macon maritime heritage site, and current work on deep sea coral communities. "This week, MBARI released its 2023 Annual Report, an immersive exploration of our research, technology, and outreach highlights over the past year. MBARI was founded with a mission to advance cutting-edge technologies that would enable a new age of ocean exploration. Every engineering and technological advance we have attempted has opened the door to surprising discoveries about the ocean. Our 2023 Annual Report shares how our team has developed technology to assess and track ocean health, visualize the seafloor in remarkable detail, and even monitor an octopus nursery. With a new research vessel and robotic technology lab on the horizon, MBARI seeks to push the boundaries of ocean science and tech innovation even further. If history is our guide, the coming decades will be nothing short of amazing. There is so much more that we need to know about our ocean—and how to protect it." #oceanresearch #montereybaynationalmarinesanctuary NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries Read more at https://lnkd.in/g4rKpFfp
