Quantum sensing technologies will drive tremendous gains in manufacturing operational efficiency across American industry. Glad to be speaking on this topic at the WI Drives Manufacturing Summit next week!

Soyuz‑5’s First Flight: A Technical Snapshot - by Frederic Eger - The first test launch of Russia’s new Soyuz‑5 rocket at Baikonur Cosmodrome provided a show the rocket’s ignition, initial lift‑off, and early ascent, including the violent ground‑shaking and acoustic signature characteristic of large liquid‑fueled engines. The vehicle’s main stage, powered by what Russian state sources describe as the world’s most powerful liquid‑fueled rocket engine in its class, ignited cleanly and achieved stable vertical ascent during the visible phase of the launch. Soyuz‑5’s design: a single‑core first stage with a cluster of engines, a relatively compact upper stage, and a streamlined payload fairing. The launch sequence shows smooth separation of the hold‑down clamps, the slow rise of the fully stacked rocket, and the formation of a well‑collimated exhaust plume, suggesting nominally functioning combustion stability and no visible catastrophic anomalies in the first few seconds. The trembling of the camera platform and the visible deflection of nearby structures underscore the considerable thrust and low‑frequency vibrations generated by the engine cluster, consistent with the vehicle’s role as a mid‑range to heavy‑lift launcher. State technical specifications indicate that Soyuz‑5 is designed to carry several metric tons to low Earth orbit, depending on configuration, and to support both crewed and uncrewed missions. The first flight, as captured in this real‑time, on‑site video, therefore serves as a visual confirmation of the launcher’s gross mechanical integrity and propulsion system ignition, but does not in itself verify full mission success, such as upper‑stage performance, orbital insertion, or payload‑deployment capability.

We are proud to unveil the NEW SteamJet TunaTank Thruster, our high-capacity water propulsion system designed to maximize the utility of the CubeSat "tuna can" volume. By utilizing this often-wasted internal cylindrical space, the TunaTank provides significantly more propellant for high-Delta-V maneuvers without sacrificing your primary payload area. This ITAR-free, water-based electrothermal thruster offers a non-toxic and sustainable solution for constellation management and collision avoidance. Seamlessly integrated within standard deployer envelopes, it bridges the gap between mission longevity and volume constraints. Explore the technical specs of our most volume-efficient thruster yet: https://lnkd.in/ezP6SH42 #CubeSat #SpaceTech #SatellitePropulsion #NewSpace #SmallSat #TunaTank #AerospaceEngineering #ITARfree #GreenPropulsion

On National Space Day, we celebrate the innovation, industrial strength, and hard engineering work shaping the future of space.   As the space landscape evolves, operational space advantage will come down to resilient systems, reliable partners, and the ability to move quickly without sacrificing quality. That’s the gap Ursa Major is focused on closing.   Built on a foundation of manufacturing heritage, flight-proven engineering rigor, and deep test capability, Ursa Major delivers the operational tempo and domestic propulsion supply chain needed for speed, scale, and reliability in space.   #NationalSpaceDay #FlyFaster
