* ExoSphere technology to be incorporated into a sensor called "SPIDER” to be placed onto the lunar surface by the Firefly Aerospace Blue Ghost 2 lander to search for buried water ice.
A description of the LuSEE experiment to be placed on the lunar far side to do radio cosmology, with Prof. Stuart Bale, the NASA Principal Investigator for LuSEE-Night from the University of California, Berkeley.
Is Space Machines Optimus satellite an example of the common fate of small satellite missions — 'dead on arrival’?:
* Dandelions had hoped to test composite material, including hemp, on Optimus
* The role of the Sydney-based Advanced Navigation company on the Optimus satellite.
Gilmour Space is preparing to launch the first Australian built satellite launch vehicle called Eris, from its Bowen Orbital Spaceport in Queensland:
