The weather this Spring may have been dull, but work definitely hasn't been. The last few months have been a whirlwind of activity building up to the launch of Starion and Nexova, both of which contribute to the resilience of our societies' critical infrastructures through their #space, #cyber and system #engineering expertise and skills. I've had the privilege of working with an amazing marketing and communications team on this project, as well as very knowledgeable (and very patient) subject experts and C-suite executives, and a great web agency. It's been by turns challenging and rewarding, but in the end there's nothing quite like seeing a big project finally come to life when a website goes live - or in this case two websites. Now it's on to the next stage, with more ideas to generate and investigate and more copy to research and write, all of which I'm excited to get started on! (Though with a little more time for friends and family in the mix, I promise.) Follow Starion and/or Nexova to see more. #NewBeginnings #CriticalInfrastructures #copywriting #marketing #innovation #ideas #websites

The new space race is heating up. Is the US ready?

Yesterday, Krupal Patel (far left), our Senior Director of National Security, Space Business Development, joined fellow industry leaders to discuss "Manufacturing Next Generation Space Infrastructure." It was interesting to both share and hear different perspectives on the industry. It has been a great week at World Space Business Week. #WSBW24 #WSBW #SpaceSummit #SpaceEvent #SpaceWeek

🌺 Scout Space and Martian Sky Team Up for Game-Changing Government Solutions at AMOS We're pleased to announce the signing of a teaming agreement with Martian Sky Industries, LLC this week at the AMOS Conference in Maui! Together, we’re gearing up to pursue key government opportunities and explore innovative ways to integrate Martian Sky’s cutting-edge solutions into our ScoutPoint software suite. With Martian Sky’s advanced capabilities—like real-time satellite segmentation (SCINet), pose estimation (COVERT), and refueling port tracking (DISRUPT)—combined with Scout’s flagship products, including Owl, Raven, Sparrow, and SpaceSight™, this collaboration promises to deliver game-changing solutions for U.S. government and defense customers. Mahalo to our partners and stay tuned as we move forward in shaping the future of space domain awareness! 🛰 #AMOS2024 #SpaceInnovation #DefenseTech #ScoutSpace #MartianSky #SDA #SpaceDomainAwareness #SpaceSafety #SatelliteAutonomy #SpaceSecurity

Sentinel 1C was successfully launched with a VEGA C rocket completing the series of Sentinel satellites that offer reliable all weather radar data for numerous earth observation applications. https://lnkd.in/dXGEb6QV

🚀 - Successful deployment of the Sentinel-1C satellite aboard the Vega-C rocket marks a significant milestone in Earth observation capabilities. Sentinel-1C is poised to restore the critical temporal coverage previously achieved with its predecessor, Sentinel-1B, ensuring consistent and reliable data continuity for advanced remote sensing applications. 🛰️ - Equipped with cutting-edge synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology, Sentinel-1C delivers high-resolution imaging independent of weather conditions or daylight. This capability underpins a broad spectrum of scientific and operational applications, including interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) for precise surface deformation monitoring, critical for assessing land stability, disaster risk management, and infrastructure safety. Sentinel-1C reaffirms its role as an essential tool in advancing geospatial analysis and supporting global environmental security. https://lnkd.in/eR_hrmq2
