Space‑based power systems are becoming one of the most decisive enablers of evolving orbital operations. Many national‑security missions rely on dependable energy in orbit, yet traditional rigid composite solar arrays remain slow to procure, expensive to scale, and difficult to adapt as needs evolve. Redwire's Extensible Low-Profile Solar Array (ELSA) was developed to address these challenges, providing an innovative design engineered to minimize stowed volume and mass while preserving performance, accelerating production, and reducing cost.

Scientists have unveiled the LSST Camera at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory — a 3.2-gigapixel imaging system now considered the largest digital camera ever built for astronomy. Roughly the size of a small car, the instrument will repeatedly scan the night sky over the next decade to create an ultra-high-resolution time-lapse record of the universe. Researchers expect it to help detect millions of asteroids and image billions of galaxies as part of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), offering new insights into dark matter, dark energy, and cosmic evolution. #Astronomy# #SpaceTech# #Engineering# #LSST#

⚡️ Space Tech Brief ⚡️ India’s private space industry is accelerating, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi meeting founders and CEOs from 20 homegrown space startups as the country pushes to become a global space technology hub. India now has roughly 440 registered space startups, compared with just one in 2014. Companies including Skyroot Aerospace, Agnikul Cosmos, Pixxel, and Dhruva Space are building across launch vehicles, satellites, propulsion systems, space debris management, and other space infrastructure. The meeting highlighted how India’s space sector has expanded beyond its traditionally government-led model. Policy reforms have opened more of the industry to private companies and investment, creating opportunities for startups to participate across the space technology stack. The bigger shift is the emergence of a broader private space ecosystem alongside ISRO. As launch, satellite, and downstream space technologies become increasingly commercialized, India is positioning its growing startup base to compete in the global space economy.
