Our Neuman spacecraft?is designed to detect Sunward, Earthbound asteroids with unprecedented precision. Stay tuned for updates! #DeepSpaceDynamics #CubeSat #AsteroidDetection"

Deep Space Dynamics: Mission and Future Plans ? Deep Space Dynamics is an innovative space technology company committed to planetary science, asteroid prospecting, and Earth defense. Our focus includes sunward and Earthbound asteroid detection, Main Belt asteroid prospecting, and deep-space missions to the outer planets and beyond. With a dedication to advancing Western democratic values throughout the solar system, Deep Space Dynamics integrates cutting-edge space technology with a strategic emphasis on resource discovery and space defense. The company’s initial mission aims to: ? Detect and track earthbound, sunward objects from the inner planets' Lagrange points to mitigate potential asteroid threats. ? Support space defense initiatives in collaboration with U.S. and allied defense agencies. ? Deep Space Dynamics is currently in the design and development phase of its 3U Neuman CubeSat, a standardized spacecraft capable of carrying modular scientific payloads for a diverse range of space missions. The modular design will enable us to ramp up production to 1,000 CubeSats per year within six years, facilitating rapid deployment to support American research institutions, governmental space agencies, and defense organizations. Key initiatives include: ? Sunward asteroid detection missions from inner planetary Lagrange points. ? Asteroid prospecting missions targeting valuable mineral-rich asteroids. ? Planetary science missions to enhance human understanding of the solar system. ? Building upon its foundational CubeSat missions, Deep Space Dynamics has outlined an ambitious roadmap for expansion: ? Deep Space CubeSat Constellation (2026-2028): Deployment of a networked CubeSat constellation to monitor asteroid activity, space weather, and deep-space anomalies. ? Interplanetary Relay Network (2027-2031): Establishing a communication and sensor network across the solar system to support long-term scientific and defense operations. ? Interstellar Mission to Proxima Centauri (2029-2035): Launching the first dedicated interstellar probe, utilizing advanced propulsion and autonomous navigation to explore the nearest star system. We are committed to expanding human presence in space, securing planetary defense, and shaping the future of interstellar exploration and settlements.

Carl Sagan famously said, "We are made of star-stuff," but even he didn't realize just how far that star stuff traveled before it got to us. New Hubble data has shown at least some of the carbon that now makes up our bodies may once have drifted hundreds of thousands of light-years out of the galaxy and back. Elements heavier than helium are forged in the hearts of stars, eventually released into the cosmos when those stars explode as supernovae. These ingredients are then fed into the next generation of stars and planets. But it turns out those elements can take a major detour on the way. A new study shows that carbon ventures out of the galaxy itself, into a huge cloud of surrounding gas called the circumgalactic medium (CGM), before returning. "The implications for galaxy evolution, and for the nature of the reservoir of carbon available to galaxies for forming new stars, are exciting," says astronomer Jessica Werk, from the University of Washington. “The same carbon in our bodies most likely spent a significant amount of time outside of the galaxy!" The team used Hubble data to analyze the CGM of 11 star-forming galaxies, finding strong signals of carbon as far as 391,000 light-years away from the galaxy. For reference, the Milky Way's visible disk is about 100,000 light-years wide. “Think of the circumgalactic medium as a giant train station: It is constantly pushing material out and pulling it back in," says University of Washington astronomer Samantha Garza, lead author of the study. “The heavy elements that stars make get pushed out of their host galaxy and into the circumgalactic medium through their explosive supernovae deaths, where they can eventually get pulled back in and continue the cycle of star and planet formation." Every element interacts with light in a unique way, absorbing certain wavelengths, or colors, over others. Analyzing this spectrum can reveal which elements are present in a distant patch of space. That's how the team found this wandering carbon, using Hubble's Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and nine distant quasars as the light sources. The researchers detected the fingerprint of carbon in the CGM of the target galaxies, estimating a minimum mass of about 3 million Suns out there. It was previously known that the CGM cycles other materials out and back into galaxies, including hot, ionized oxygen, but the team says this is the first observation of cooler elements like carbon getting swept up in the motion.

We aim to push the boundaries of human knowledge and exploration within the solar system and beyond, developing solutions that protect and expand opportunities for humanity. Our focus is on partnerships with global space agencies, defense organizations, academic institutions, and forward-thinking industries to deliver precise, agile, and scalable missions that make the universe safer and more accessible.

#SpaceDomainNormsOfBehavior ?? A rare "no-notice" space launch. Iran's 14 Sep 2024 launch of the Chamran 1 satellite on the solid-fueled Qaem 100 rocket was a rare instance of a "no notice" space launch. There was not a Notice to Airmen and Mariners (NOTAM) issued. Iran and North Korea are the only two space-launch capable countries who are not signatories to the The Hague Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation (HCoC) (ref https://www.hcoc.at/). Resolves to a hcoc.at URL. Such notifications prior to launch mitigate potential false alarms of a missile weapons launch. ? Historians and policy folks: would like to learn and understand more. The HCOC has only existed since 2002. What preceded the HCOC and governed US and Soviet launch notifications during the Cold War???

U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Richard Zellmann, Deputy Combined Joint Force Space Component commander, delivered the closing remarks during the National Prisoners of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) Recognition Day ceremony at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., Sep. 20, 2024. Zellmann, along with members of Team Vandenberg, gathered to honor and remember the sacrifices made by brave service members who were captured in conflict or remained unaccounted for. Their stories exemplified the indomitable human spirit and the power of hope, which sustained them through unimaginable hardships. As they waived the POW/MIA flag high, they recommitted to bringing home those who remained missing and ensured their sacrifices were never forgotten. #POWMIARecognitionDay #NeverForget #HonorOurHeroes? #POWMIA? #BringThemHome ??: Space Launch Delta 30
