Helicity Space

In January, Helicity was selected for a Phase 1 NIAC award, one of NASA's most prestigious initiatives, for our proposal on Fusion-Enabled Comprehensive Exploration of the Heliosphere. Helicity Space will leverage this funding from NASA to further develop our in-space fusion propulsion technology, Helicity Drive. Read more: https://lnkd.in/e8NigpwC

?? From Los Angeles to Infinity! This week, together with Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich, we had the priviledge to meet with a few companies focused on progress beyond our atmosphere and share developments in the #SpaceTech sector in #Switzerland. It was an incredibly insightful and eye-opening week where we learned about the developments in global space collaboration at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and technical advances that are going to get us to Mars (sooner than most of us think) at SpaceX. Later we learned about the development of the #SpaceEconomy in Lower Earth Orbit at Varda Space Industries and how fusion propulsion technology could make travel to Mars easily within human reach at Helicity Space. Carl Sagan once said, "We can judge our progress by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers, our willingness to embrace what is true rather than what feels good." It is so exciting and inspiring to meet people who have both the courage and ability to make this progress happen. I look forward to helping build stronger ties between the SpaceTech sectors in Switzerland and here in the US (and hopefully learning as much as I can from them along the way)!

We enjoyed the opportunity to present at the recent Nuclear Energy Space Defense Tech Investor Summit at Mar-a-Lago, hosted by Balerion Space Ventures. At Helicity, we truly believe the future of space transportation is closer than it seems, and we are always eager to share more about our work to develop fusion propulsion technology. ? #nuclearenergyspacedefensetechinvestorsummit

Round 2! Looking forward to participating in Balerion Space Ventures' next Nuclear Energy Space & Defense Tech Investor Summit this week. The Helicity Space team is excited to connect with industry to advocate for the potential commercial, civil and defense applications of fusion propulsion in space.

We so enjoyed attending last week's Nuclear Energy Space & Defense Tech Investor Summit in Dallas, Texas, hosted by Balerion Space Ventures, to share more about how fusion will be used to usher in the next era of space transportation.

Tomorrow: Join us in the Pecan Room at Dallas Nuclear Energy Space & Defense Tech Investor Summit to discuss advanced propulsion for in-space applications. See you there!

We're excited to participate in Balerion Space Ventures' Dallas Nuclear Energy Space & Defense Tech Investor Summit next week! Looking forward to connecting with industry about the future of in-space applications of fusion energy, including its different commercial, civil and defense uses. If you're attending, we'll see you in the Pecan Room Wednesday afternoon.

We are thrilled to announce the addition of former NASA associate administrator Jim Reuter and retired four-star General William L. Shelton to Helicity Space’s?Strategic Advisory Board. “Willie and Jim’s extensive understanding of both space and national security will not only bolster our current board, but also enhance Helicity’s mission of increasing access to deep space,” said Marta Calvo, co-founder and chief operations officer. “We’re pleased to welcome them to the Helicity team as we fuel the expansion of space exploration and defense efforts that are currently not possible today.”? ?

Congratulations to Hélène Huby and The Exploration Company on this record-breaking milestone, a huge step forward for European innovation! We’re excited to see the impact this funding will have on the future of space logistics and cooperation.

As we gather with friends and family throughout the holiday season, we are grateful for the spirit of exploration that has inspired innovators past and present. We’re especially thankful for the incredible Helicity team, dedicated to the development of in-space fusion propulsion, bringing us closer to a future where journeys to distant destinations, like Mars, are faster, safer and more sustainable. ? Here’s to collaboration, innovation and the pursuit of something greater. ? #FusionPropulsion #RedPlanet #Innovation
