Zephyr returns to the stratosphere! ✈

This weekend, from its first launch and landing facility in Kenya, AALTO completed the first successful launch of Zephyr in 2025.

After climbing to 60,000ft, our solar-powered Zephyr has now been flying continuously over Kenya for over 48hrs. It remains the only fixed-wing HAPS to demonstrate day and night-time operations in the stratosphere.

Over the coming days, AALTO will be conducting its first tests from the stratosphere this year. It is a key milestone on our roadmap to utilise HAPS to provide connectivity and Earth observation services to those that need it most.

The establishment of an AALTOPORT in Kenya is unprecedented in the HAPS industry. Thanks to a pioneering regulatory landscape, a purpose-built Zephyr facility has been developed in Laikipia County in 2024. Through their support, national authorities led by the Kenya Space Agency and Kenya Civil Aviation Authority have demonstrated their vision to champion cutting-edge aerospace technologies.

Together with our partners, we have Taken Kenya Stratospheric.

The secret commercial sat launched on the most recent Electron has been cataloged by Space Force as 'Protosat-1', with country Rwanda. This essentially confirms it is a sat for E-Space, which registered its putative satcon with the ITU via Rwanda as a flag of convenience

Guys I made MOSFETs (transistors) from scratch and they work!

among other devices (inverter, diodes, ring oscillators)

From bare silicon wafer, to device characterization

WORLD’s FIRST FULL UNDERBODY GIGACASTING 🇨🇳

This Gigacasting was realized by Chery Auto using a 13,000 ton Giga Press with a dual injection system

The machine was made by LK Machinery and it’s available for testing

That’s a lot of f*ing aluminum

See the CFD simulation below👇🏼

The report on the Osprey which crashed in Japan last year has been published, and I had no idea that these high performance gear boxes included a system to detect and destroy metal chips in the oil.

*BREAKING: Distance of shooter calculation:

- 217ms sound delay between bullet zip sound and gun discharge
-1150 feet/sec avg speed of sound

Distance of shooter = 0.0472 miles, or 249.2 Feet away

It is time for engineers of all cadres to retrospect, engage, unite and speak in one voice

Engineers have to re-strategize on tackling current challenges such as Inadequate opportunities, inequitable compensation, foreign competition etc

A friend forwarded me this. I cried …

*Mama I made it!*
I occupied Parliament
Remember the #occupyParliament demonstrations?
But tell papa I’m sorry
I won’t come home tonight
Not because I’m spending at a friends’. No!
