What a German Start-Up's First Test Could Mean for the Space Industry Author: Mika Takahashi, Technology Analyst at IDTechEx On April 22nd, SpaceX's Bandwagon-3 rideshare mission took off from Cape Canaveral. Alongside the normal payload of satellites, there was a capsule from a German space start-up – Phoenix 1. This was the inaugural payload of ATMOS Space GmbH, and the first orbital test of its inflatable aerodynamic decelerator (IAD). To re-enter from low-Earth orbit, most spacecraft either use a tile-based system or an ablator. Tile-based heat shields, such as those used…

Author: Sona Dadhania, Senior Technology Analyst at IDTechEx Even with a new, more “industry-friendly” administration in the White House, regulator debate on “forever chemicals”, or PFAS, continues to evolve across the United States. For example, the state of New Mexico recently passed a ban on intentionally added PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) in consumer products, with some notable exemptions. State legislators in North Carolina have proposed a bill to ban non-essential PFAS uses and prevent PFAS contamination in drinking water. The new administrator for the Trump Administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),…
