Mr. Singularity | Autonomous RavnX Drone to Launch Satellites From Airport Runways @MrSingularity | Uploaded June 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
π COMMENT Below For 1 Week GOOD LUCK π
π A startup, Aevum, just unveiled the culmination of years of workβa sleek rocket launcher named Ravn X. The drone is 80 feet long, 18 feet tall, and has a wingspan of 60 feet. It doesn't have a cockpit because, apparently, it doesn't need a pilot. After taking off separately from the average-length runway, it would carry a two-stage, liquid-fueled rocket up to 60,000 feet. The company will begin testing in late 2021, and hopefully will attempt the first launch, probably ASLON-45, from Florida's Cecil Spaceport within a year. There is no way to get to the bottom of this one.
Smaller than a small satellite, small as miniature sensors, and computers have to go up in a big way. The most established example of this is an air-launched rocket. It took more than a week for the most recent rocket launch to go through its paces. It was supposed to be a one-minute, six-second event. Now it's been put on hold until after the next rocket launch, and it's going to be short-lived.
Aevum's Ravn X is the latest start-up to win a government contract to launch a drone into space. The company hopes to launch its autonomous drone in 2018. It is one of a growing number of private space start-ups, fuelled by speed exploration.
Thanks and Enjoy π₯ π₯
