In the same work area as the Shooting Star modules, Sierra Space engineers are also working on the Large Integrated Flexible Environment (LIFE) habitat. A key aspect of that project is evaluating and testing the use of softgoods to fashion expandable structures using Vectran, a weave of high-...
The global space robotics market size was valued at USD 4.40 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 8.8% from 2023 to 2030
An integral part of the £18.9 billion UK space sector, and the largest space company in Europe, we design and manufacture advanced satellites and systems.
Space Engineers is a sandbox game about engineering, construction, exploration and survival in space and on planets. Players build space ships, space stations, planetary outposts of various sizes and uses (civil and military), pilot ships and travel through space to explore planets and gather reso...
Launch vehicles that can take off from and land on runways have long been a dream for space engineers and enthusiasts, but have never gotten off the ground. John Hollaway describes why they remain essential and how they might be developed.Monday, May 13, 2024 Review: Alien Earths Astronomers...
Liftoff came in the nick of time for several hundred European Space Agency managers, scientists, engineers and journalists who flew to Florida to watch the launch. A spectacular view from a camera mounted on the Falcon 9's second stage as its engine powered the rocket and the European ...

The generative-design process is both straightforward and speedy. First, human engineers specify technical requirements such as the load the finished structure will have to carry and what forces it will be exposed to in space. Then, they enter the requirements into software that can spit out myri...
Engineers must calculate the ideal orbits for sending a spacecraft from Earth to Mars. Like throwing a dart at a moving target from a moving vehicle, they must calculate where the planet will be when the spacecraft arrives, not where it is when it leaves Earth. It's also not possible ...
