A rocket's structure has to be strong enough to survive launch and light enough to reach orbit. This episode is about how the team turned to carbon composites and cork to meet both demands, and what it took to master the manufacturing from the ground up.

#OTD in 1979 @isro launched Bhaskara-1 aboard a Kosmos-3M rocket from Kapustin Yar, USSR. India's first experimental remote sensing satellite, named after the ancient Indian astronomer-mathematicians Bhaskaracharyas it weighed 444 kg and was placed into a low Earth orbit at ~394–399 km altitude with a 50.7° inclination. Its primary objectives were Earth observation for hydrology, forestry, and geology using a two-band TV camera system, and ocean surface studies via the SAMIR microwave radiometer. #Bhaskara1 #ISROHistory #ISRO #KapustinYar #SpaceExploration #OTD
@RocketGuyAtla Yeah you need to claim a code to activate the demo.
This demo is just to check the visuals of the game and how it runs on different devices with different settings. You can't control any thing yet.
SFS build 18.
These little pods were originally built for Mars but upon testing I found out they work better on the moon.
That's why they are now docked at the Som station for crew rotation.
Guess the inspiration for these!!
