Game-Changing Space Missions You Need to Know About!

Thanks Morning Brew for my daily news briefing - sign up for free here morningbrewdai...
Today my friends something a little different that we’ve been working on for months now. Although we spend much of our time talking about the current missions and Starship goals of the future, we don’t talk a lot about what these new capabilities will provide for the exciting uncrewed and robotic missions that will pave the way. These are essential as we finally prepare for a thrilling future of space exploration. Indeed, SpaceX Starship and Game-Changing Space Missions You Need to Know About are right here my friends! These vehicles are our eyes and ears, venturing where we can't go yet, or perhaps will never be able to go with these fragile bodies. As you will see, the future is surprising, brighter than ever, and will provide astounding information that we can only currently dream of.

One question. Why there's so much radiation near the Jupiter? There's only hydrogen, some helium and nothing that can radiate something Maybe I don't understand something

[@ChasingDifferentAdventures]

Imagine the Vertical Probe I believe from India to the Moon that Tipped Over.. in a mission of Mars or the Moon the Vertical Landing Starship will have issues especially in Mars with High Winds which are not Tested in a Hurricane to Sustain vertical stance in current Hurricane they were tucked in to prevent tip over or clamped down. In Mars the winds are more violent, due to less Atmospheric Pressure. 👩🏻‍🚀🤘🏻🚀🛰️🪐🌌

[@CumulusGranitis]

​@@striker4863 Researchers have theorized that Jupiter's complex and intense magnetic fields arises from electrical currents generated by the rapid rotation of the planet spinning up it's theorized massive metallic liquid hydrogen outer core. This fast spinning liquid metal is thought to be acting like dynamo, creating the Jupiter's powerful magnetic field. Just as Earth's magnetosphere traps radiation to form the Van Allen Belts, Jupiter's truly massive magnetosphere also traps radiation forming Van Allen Belts there on a horrendously enormous scale. It is this magnetic field that JPL's "Juno" spacecraft has been exploring since it arrive in 2016, in a breath taking 53 day polar orbit that skims just over the cloud tops from pole to pole to stay inside of Jupiter's massive and deadly Van Allen belts at closest approach.

[@JohnSostrom]

This is a very good video. You give a lot of data about future missions and what they will be doing. This would be a great intro video for a current high-school or college class in a space engineering course. You are correct that this will be a very exciting future. I continue to pray for more years to watch it all unfold. 🎉

[@MarcusHouse]

Thanks John!

[@sjsomething4936]

I’m in the same boat, so excited for what missions will come in the future but that they may be too late for me to see their completion. I believe if Starship and SuperHeavy meet their potential then we’ll actually see more missions than we expected. I’m hopeful that the various space agencies will adopt an approach that makes orbiters nearly identical so they can be launched en masse. It’s really only landing craft that need bespoke capabilities to deal with the challenges and environments of the target, plus a sensor suite that allows for complete exploration of the target. All of this of course requires the budgets to be sufficient to support the ambitions.

[@mattc.310]

Thanks for the updates. Space is an exciting place.

[@neobaggins3718]

So, I think most are aware that when Starship is successfully up to speed, it will trigger an orbital industrial revolution. Most people think of a space hotel, privately owned research stations, moon bases, eventually martian settlement, but the ability to bring materials to orbit to be assembled into larger spacecraft is going to be a game changer. Once you solve the payload to orbit problem, the doors fly open. Instead of multiyear or decade long missions to send a probe the size of a washing machine to fly by a planet or moon, we can assemble much larger craft in orbit, fuel them in orbit and perform much more aggressive burns to move more mass more quickly to the destination. This also translates directly to payload to surface as well, for unmanned research missions throughout the solar system.

[@philippostiglione2011]

It is amazing what robotic probes can achieve.

[@eamonstack4139]

Marcus, great research and presentation- I had heard of many of these missions separately but the collated collective is incredibly. Clearly Starship program can transform the speed of arrival of most future interplanetary journeys. Thanks, Eamon 🇮🇪

[@Dowskiify]

Great episode Marcus! I love the closer look at the planned scientific missions, hope there's more to come!

You should really check out Isaac Arthur, he has talked about so many futuristic things that it makes even this future with Starship look small. However, I do appreciate your efforts and dedication in this though.

Dang, this was an awesome video! As much as I love your regular weekly update, please keep making these from time to time to remind us all about what is coming up in the next few months and years. As for SpaceX Starship, I think we are just beginning to understand what a game changer that will be. Making cheap to get to LEO will then open up amazing possibilities of spacecraft that can travel from there. A few companies are building now, but the number will of companies will increase exponentially. I think it will be like the internet explosion that has occurred. Lots and lots of opportunities. It’s really mind blowing!

Great video Marcus. As cost to orbit plummets, we will see an explosion of probes - and more - into our solar system. I hope we will soon look back and smile on our current stock of space aparatus like we look back on our computers of 30 years ago - both their power and their ubiquity. The power and ubiquity of computing is now taken for granted, to the point where even tiny startups can build new devices with awesome amounts of computing power to operate them. Imagine this combined with the ability to chuck it all into space at super low cost. If all goes well, what's coming is beyond imagination (like our pocket supercomputers were not long ago).

[@benstroup2210]

Probably one of the coolest missions that you didn’t mention is DRACO, being built by Lockheed Martin and BWXT. This will be the first nuclear thermal propulsion system utilized in space. Designed as a test bed for future missions to the moon, mars, and beyond, it will launch in 2027. Nuclear thermal propulsion (unlike nuclear electric) allows for continuous high thrust while still maintaining 2-4x more efficiency than traditional chemical rocket propulsion. Truly a giant leap forward that we will need in future high speed round trips to Mars!

[@TamarZiri]

[@gmat_5664]

If I may be so bold as to give a suggestion, one video idea that I personally think would be awesome is something along the lines of an update on the progress we are making towards Mars. From what I understand, there are a ton of parallel workstreams going on between NASA, SpaceX, Axiom, and many other companies that I feel like don't really get covered (at least not well) and it could be really cool to get a more holistic update on these workstreams. Obviously, the big one is the vehicle (Starship) which is thoroughly covered, but things such as the spacesuit (believe Axiom and some other companies [SpaceX?!] are making models for NASA), on-world habitats / buildings, different robotic systems that could be on-world to help, the science experiments NASA needs to do to get comfortable with people making the trip and living on world (what resources are on the world, how will people do with the six-month journey, etc.) aren't covered as well. Really what I'm trying to get at is it's super cool that Starship is progressing so rapidly, but what other problems need to be solved for a human outpost on Mars, and what progress has been made / is being solved for currently! I think viewers like myself who are excited about SpaceX and Starship would love a video like this as we imagine what "comes next".
