@IanRunkle @SpypointCamera Use to run spypoint cams but they all failed usually due to bad seals, switched to reveal tactacam, have had one of the cameras out for over five years year long and no issues

Here is one of our experimental 3D printed Hadfield liquid rocket engines going through some thrust vector control (TVC) profiles! As we scale to our first light-lift orbital launch vehicle, Tundra, and then our medium-lift reusable launch vehicle, Titan, precise control of the rocket at every phase of flight is critical to mission success. Guiding a rocket to orbit, and eventually back to Earth, demands close coordination across every sub-team. Some of the key challenges we’re tackling:

➡️ Reliable & repeatable TVC actuation: ensuring the engine gimbal responds consistently across every test and flight
➡️ High-frequency control loops: real-time systems that keep the vehicle stable from liftoff to orbital insertion
➡️ Propellant sloshing: accounting for the movement of fluids in tanks and its effect on vehicle dynamics
➡️ Wind shear compensation: countering atmospheric disturbances during ascent
➡️ Structural bending & flex modes: managing how the vehicle’s primary structure responds to aerodynamic and thrust loads
➡️ Precision payload delivery: hitting the exact target orbit, every time

Our team at NordSpace has been advancing our propulsion systems on many fronts, as we work to unveil our orbital-scale, pump-fed Hadfield and Garneau rocket engines in the near future — the engines that will carry Canada to orbit for the first time, and unlock sovereign access to space.

Check out some of our rocket hardware, meet our engineers, join over 400 attendees and over 40 speakers at the Canadian Space Launch Conference, taking place this May 5th in Ottawa.

Time for some air-to-air action! It was an awesome experience to get some airtime alongside this Cessna T-50 Bobcat at #OSH25.

What do you think of its paint scheme?

True when I said it, true today.

“Canada is, and always has been, our country. And we want Canada to be a True North that is as strong and as free as it can be in every way that matters: the best country in the world. That’s why we’re here, that’s why we strive, that’s why we serve. Canada must reflect the true character of the Canadian people: honourable in our dealings, faithful to our commitments, loyal to our friends. By turns, a courageous warrior and a compassionate neighbour. It is our purpose that Canada must be great, it must be great for all Canadians, it must be a country of hope and an example to the world. And only when it is these things, when Canada is all that it can be, only then can we say that our work is done.”

Dual mounted American 180.

This thing can shoot 3000 rounds per minute.

Starship flip maneuver and landing burn on its fifth flight test. Vehicle improvements ensured flaps were protected from high heating, resulting in a controlled entry and high accuracy splashdown at the targeted area in the Indian Ocean

Liftoff of Starship!

It hasn’t received a lot of media attention, but on Tuesday, humans will travel further from earth than we in the past 52 years (Apollo 17)

@SpaceX will go for:

- The highest Earth orbit ever
- First ever commercial space walk
- Testing new EVA suit
