Having a rapidly deployable launch system and offshore launch capability is also a solution. So far only two companies have demonstrated those capabilities recently but separately @Astra and @TheSpaceportCo. If they want to increase security this is where investments should go.
Thank you Senator @cindyhydesmith for your support of the aerospace industry in Mississippi! We loved hosting your team at our homeport in Hancock County, MS.
Our summer internship is a wrap! Hrsh Shah spent the summer working alongside our team, taking his project from concept through development and testing. Naturally, we had to send him off 90s style. Here’s a look back at his summer with TSC, Saved by the Bell edition.
Introducing Starbase, Louisiana – a high-cadence launch site that will enable Starship to open a pathway to the stars for humanity.
Thank you to @LAGovJeffLandry and the great people of Louisiana for all of their support as we work together on this audacious project → https://t.co/zGKVOGSxfW
@CadeArmy We just completed a test launch in Florida waters - the first commercial sea launch in the Atlantic. It went well and will open up a new commercial sea range in addition to our Mississippi/Gulf of America capabilities.
Sea trials complete on next-gen attritable USV missile platform.
Low-cost, high-capacity fires — inspired by the Navy’s attritable unmanned surface vessel (LUSV) concept. Missile-agnostic payload bay. Container-transportable for rapid CONUS-to-theater deployment. Optimized for distributed maritime operations (DMO) in austere/expeditionary environments. Combat-relevant now for short/medium-range c-UAS in the littorals — scalable to Mk 41 VLS for long-range strike.
This is a sneak-preview video, we'll have much more to share in the coming weeks on this exciting new capability.
Buckler™, our sub-$100K interceptor, is flight-tested!
Thanks to @TheSpaceportCo for partnering on our early July sea-launch demonstration to advance affordable air defense for the warfighter.
See Buckler in person at the @SpaceMissileDef SMD Symposium in August.

Interesting. Aerospace Corporation writes re: super heavy launchers: "...increased size may cause launch prices, on a per kilogram basis, to go up rather than down."
Study argues bigger launch vehicles may not always be better - SpaceNews
Our customer's offshore payload processing container is coming together nicely. No powerpoint, no BS, just real hardware delivered on time and on budget. #fabricationfriday
