https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/10/russian-space-chief-explains-why-country-can-only-build-40-satellites-a-year/

> Now we have some sense of why this is. In an interview with a state-owned Russian-language news channel, the chief of Russian space operations, Yuri Borisov, explained that the country can only build a few dozen satellites a year. (This is about one-fiftieth of the total that a privately owned company, SpaceX, will launch this year.) Borisov said building a single satellite in Russia takes about 18 months, and because of this, it is not possible to develop a megaconstellation.
> According to Borisov, the combined efforts of the US industry and government can build about 3,000 satellites a year, and China has production facilities capable of manufacturing 1,200 to 1,500 satellites a year. The sprawling Russian space corporation he runs, Roscosmos, cannot come close to matching these totals.
>"It turned out we weren't ready for this," he said in the interview, which was translated for Ars by Rob Mitchell. "Today all satellite manufacturing companies of the industry are capable of building about 40 satellites per year."
> Essentially, Borisov said that the way Russia currently builds its satellites is by hand, through intricate and time-consuming processes. To become more competitive and have a constellation of its own, he said, Roscosmos will need to move toward an assembly line-like means of mass production.

Because the last time they needed to build satellites in bulk was in the early nineties when the last of the Zenit-8 spy satellites were constructed. They've never needed a megaconstellation before and they arguably don't now, but having something in orbit made up of a few hundred satellites is a national prestige issue so they feel they have to try.

In Russia, the model of the Russian satellite industry needs to be radically changed; now it is uncompetitive, said the head of Roscosmos

“In the USA, production capacity allows us to create about 3 thousand devices per year. Six production facilities have been created in China, which today are able to produce about 1200–1500 devices per year. And we are only 40. Just compare. Uncompetitive. We are faced with the enormous task of turning the situation around,” Borisov said.

According to him, the global space constellation has over 8.9 thousand satellites, and it has grown approximately tenfold over the past ten years. The Russian orbital constellation has about 220 satellites, that is, about 2.5%, Borisov added.

At the same time, the industry itself has changed: from launching heavy, expensive satellites, it has moved on to creating multi-satellite constellations, where the reliability of service delivery depends not on an individual device, but on the constellation itself, explained the head of Roscosmos. He noted that the Starlink company, for example, makes cheaper satellites and quickly replenishes the constellation when one of the devices fails. Its group is approaching 4 thousand.

“We were not ready for this. Today, all satellite manufacturing companies in the industry are able to produce about 40 satellites per year,” says Borisov. According to him, the assembly of one device takes about 18 months on the territory of the enterprise; under such conditions it is impossible to create multi-satellite constellations, so it is necessary to change the model and move to conveyor production.

The day before, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed to ensure the mass launch of satellites and “radically reduce” the cost of delivering spacecraft into orbit. The head of state demanded to establish serial production of spacecraft and move to assembly line assembly.

Gateway is perfectly designed to accomodate Starship development. Not to knock Zubrin but he thinks 1 dimensionally. The real question is not 'can it be done?', but 'can it be funded?'. Any launcher designed for Mars direct is doomed as soon as the Mars direct program gets cancelled. Gateway is great because abandoning an international space station is far harder and more complicated than abandoning a single country landing program, and Starship is a bad lunar lander anyway which is why they need a whole different HLS design to actually acheive it. Starship is a good bus to Lunar injection which Gateway will fully exploit.
And lets be real, the launch market is definitely not big enough to accomodate Starship and wont be for ages. In the meantime they have to invent random tasks for it to complete, because without a market there is not high cadence and without high cadence there is not low cost per launch. Elon understood this which is 100% the reason starlink exists and requires thousands of satelites. Nasa is working hand in hand with SpaceX to give them busy work in Lunar orbit which is great. If Zubrin got his way and it was straight to Mars then Starship would have low cadence and cost 600mil+ per launch.

Scientists will soon find out whether the Lucy mission works as intended (On Wednesday, the spacecraft will come close to the small asteroid Dinkinesh.)
---
https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/10/lucy-the-spacecraft-is-about-to-fly-by-lucy-the-asteroid/
> A little more than two years have passed since the Lucy mission launched on an Atlas V rocket, ultimately bound for asteroids that share an orbit with Jupiter. After a gravity assist from Earth in 2022, the spacecraft has been making a beeline for an intermediate target, and now it is nearly there.
> On Wednesday, the $1 billion mission is due to make its first asteroid flyby, coming to within 265 miles (425 km) of the small main belt asteroid Dinkinesh. In a blog post, NASA says the encounter will take place at 12:54 pm ET (16:54 UTC).
> About an hour before the encounter, the spacecraft will begin attempting to lock on to the small asteroid so that its instruments are oriented toward it. This will allow for the best possible position to take data from Dinkinesh as Lucy speeds by at 10,000 mph (4,470 meters per second).
> During this maneuver, Lucy's main antenna will be pointed away from Earth, so it will not be in communication with its operators at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. After the flyby, Lucy will reorient itself to reestablish communications with Earth through the Deep Space Network. Imagery and other data will be relayed back to Earth for several subsequent days.
> This is an important flyby for Lucy for several reasons. First of all, it's the first real test of the spacecraft's tracking system. If this fails, the asteroid will be little more than a blur as Lucy zips by.

Space Force assigns 21 national security missions to ULA and SpaceX
---
https://spacenews.com/space-force-assigns-21-national-security-missions-to-ula-and-spacex/
> This order completes the National Security Space Launch Phase 2 assignments. Of a total of 48 missions, ULA got 26 and SpaceX got 22
> Over the five years of the Phase 2 contract, the Space Force will have ordered a total of 48 missions — substantially more than the 34 missions originally estimated — although only one has launched so far.
> Of the 48 missions assigned for Phase 2, only USSF-67 launched, aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket in January 2023. ULA’s first Phase 2 launch will be USSF-51 on an Atlas 5 rocket, a mission projected for no earlier than March 2024.
> ULA’s new rocket, Vulcan Centaur, was selected by the Space Force to launch all Phase 2 missions but the vehicle has been beset by delays. Vulcan’s two certification flights are scheduled in the coming months and its first NSSL Phase 2 mission, USSF-106, would fly sometime after both certification launches are completed.
> ULA originally won 60% of the Phase 2 missions and SpaceX 40%. Based on these latest assignments, ULA ended up with 54% and SpaceX with 46%.

> The Pentagon’s Space Development Agency on Monday announced about $1.3 billion in contracts to York Space and Northrop Grumman to build communications satellites.
>The SDA is having the pair of companies build 100 satellites as part of a network the U.S. military is building called the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture. These satellites will be for “Alpha” variant prototypes in the “Tranche 2 Transport Layer” constellation, also known as T2TL-Alpha, to provide encrypted communications.
> Under the T2TL-Alpha awards, Northrop will build 38 “data transport” satellites for $732 million, while York will build 62 satellites for $617 million. The SDA’s schedule is for the T2TL satellites to begin launching in 2026.

Astrobotic lander arrives at launch site, SES says O3b mPower electrical issues are worse than thought
---
https://spacenews.com/astrobotic-lander-arrives-at-launch-site/
> WASHINGTON — Astrobotic’s first lunar lander has arrived in Florida for final preparations for launch on Christmas Eve.
> Astrobotic announced Oct. 31 that the Peregrine lander has arrived at a payload processing facility at Cape Canaveral operated by Astrotech, after shipping last week from Astrobotic’s Pittsburgh headquarters. The lander will undergo preparations for launch on the inaugural Vulcan Centaur flight by United Launch Alliance.
> ULA announced Oct. 24 that it set a launch date of Dec. 24 for the first Vulcan Centaur, with Peregine as the primary payload. There are backup launch opportunities on Dec. 25 and 26, and again in January, a schedule ULA Chief Executive Tory Bruno said was constrained by requirements such as lighting conditions at Peregrine’s landing site and communications access.
> Peregrine is carrying 21 payloads, including several for NASA through its Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program. Astrobotic received one of the first CLPS task orders in May 2019, valued at $79.5 million to carry what NASA said at the time was up to 14 payloads to the moon.

FAA completes safety review for next Starship launch
---
https://spacenews.com/faa-completes-safety-review-for-next-starship-launch/
> WASHINGTON — SpaceX is one step closer to getting an updated license for its next Starship launch but must still wait for the completion of an environmental review.
> The Federal Aviation Administration said Oct. 31 that the agency had completed the safety review portion of the Starship/Super Heavy license evaluation that day. The safety review covers the portions of launch operations that affect public safety.
> The completion of the safety review, though, does not mean the FAA is ready to update the Starship launch license and allow another launch to proceed. The FAA is continuing to work on an environmental review, including consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) regarding any environmental effects of a new water deluge system installed on the Starship launch pad at Boca Chica, Texas.
> FWS, in an Oct. 26 statement, said it had formally reinitiated an Endangered Species Act consultation with the FAA about modifications to the pad on Oct. 19. “We have up to 135 days to issue an amended biological opinion but do not expect to take the full amount of time,” FWS stated, but did not offer a more precise estimate of the time needed to complete the review.

Its the ethiopian name for the Lucy fossils
> Dinkinesh, which is nearly a kilometer across at its widest point, was discovered in 1999. It was unnamed when the Lucy mission targeted it for its first flyby as a test of the tracking system, en route to the Jovian trojan asteroids later this decade. So, Lucy mission scientists proposed the name Dinkinesh, the Ethiopian name for the Lucy fossils.

Prometheus Completes 30-Second Hot Fire Test
---
https://europeanspaceflight.com/prometheus-completes-30-second-hot-fire-test/
> ArianeGroup announced last week that it had completed a test campaign of a Prometheus engine prototype that included a 30-second hot fire test.
> Prometheus began as a CNES project in 2015, with the agency projecting that a full-scale demonstrator of the engine would be ready for a hot fire test in 2020. The engine was intended to be a low-cost reusable methalox rocket engine that would produce 1,000 kN of thrust and power the next generation of European launch vehicles. The aim was to get to a point where Prometheus engines could be produced for no more than €1 million per unit.
> According to ESA, Prometheus testing will “accelerate” with the delivery of two new Prometheus prototypes. One of the two prototypes will be installed onto a test bed at the DLR test facility in Lampoldshausen, Germany. Testing of this prototype will begin next year.
> Although a Prometheus engine is expected to fly aboard a Themis demonstrator next year, an initial orbital flight of the engine will not occur until late 2025 at the earliest aboard a Maiaspace microlauncher.

Boeing Halts Plan for Starlink Competitor
Boeing gives up an FCC license to operate a low-Earth orbiting satellite constellation, which would have involved 147 satellites.
---
https://www.pcmag.com/news/boeing-halts-plan-for-starlink-competitor
> As SpaceX’s Starlink system continues to grow, Boeing has canceled plans for its own satellite internet system.
>The company told Aviation Week it gave up its FCC license to operate the satellite constellation, which would have involved 147 low-Earth orbiting satellites.
> Indeed, on Sept. 15, Boeing sent a letter to the FCC about surrendering the license, which was granted in 2021. By doing so, the company also had to pay the US government $2.2 million through a forfeiture bond.
> Boeing originally filed for the license in 2017 with the goal of serving consumers through the proposed satellite internet service. But since then, the market has drastically changed: SpaceX Starlink has nearly 5,000 satellites in orbit and is already serving over 2 million customers.
> Although Boeing is halting plans on its own satellite internet service, it still sees potential in the technology. The company’s FCC license would have allowed Boeing to beam the high-speed broadband using portions of “V-band” spectrum, which ranges from 40 to 75GHz. Last year, Boeing launched a test satellite to pilot using the V-band spectrum.

Fusion propulsion will start being used in space within 50 years maximum.
450 years of subsequent continuous improvement and industrialization of the solar system, I have no doubt that human interstellar ships capable of 1% c cruise will exist, and a human population arriving at proxima centauri will be possible prior to 3023.
Also, even if the ships use 99% of their total delta V budget just to cross space and capture at the target star, it would still have over 60 km/s of delta V leftover for maneuvering in-system. This is a huge amount, easily more than enough to intercept with a target earth-sized object, capture, and circularize, then do it again multiple more times. In real life though the ship would spend a few years studying the new star system from high above the ecliptic before picking an easy-access target with lots of volatiles (like a gas giant moon system, a Mars or smaller sized rocky planet with ice, an asteroid belt, even a kuiper belt analog) to transfer to and start mining. First items on the to do list are collecting fusion fuel like deuterium (which removes all practical limitations on delta V budget) and starting construction of more spinning habitats (and growing the new colony in general).

Supposedly, Boeing/Lockheed put a $5B price tag on the whole works, but I've heard some estimates that it'd be worth less than $2B. Good bargaining skills are as important as a healthy credit line.

I kinda hope they do. Lockheed or Northrop would just be old space with slightly more straightforward management, and I don't know how someone like L3Harris or Amazon are supposed to improve the corporation. If Blue buys ULA the BE-4 gets a lot cheaper and Aerojet can get cut out completely if you replace the RL-10CX with a BE-3U or BE-7 cluster. A more powerful upper stage engine would mean that most missions would need fewer boosters so you'd need to pay less money to Northrop. It won't make Vulcan competitive enough to put real pressure on Falcon, but it's the best that it could possibly get.
