$250 to get a "space pass". This entitles you to get 10 orbits to run your mission software on our satellite.

You can support our project and get a fully functional 1U cubesat model as reward: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/exodusorbitals/nova-a-c...

So glad I finished my studies before the pandemic... But, yes, universities do treat international students as if they are made of money.

I wonder, if you fit some kind of propulsion and controls - will the model become flyable enough?

That's because we lack sufficiently precise computational models of biological systems. It is the "fusion power" problem of biotech. There has been some progress, but this isn't an easy problem to solve (just like contro

The amount of energy required to keep that 1g acceleration though...

There is plenty of stuff to explore and colonize in Solar System alone. But interstellar travel is not that unfeasible. Sending an unmanned probe to Alpha or Proxima Centauri might be just possible in the next century.

Yes, on-board clock accuracy is the limiting factor here.

I'd like to note that it is feasible to reuse current OneWeb satellite as ad-hoc GNSS, just the accuracy will be much worse than current service from Galileo or GPS

I wonder what is the round-trip efficiency for this cycle. I read that you can improve it by matching with large scale but low-grade heat source.

The endgame for SpaceX (and us) is not building and launching rockets (or satellites). The endgame for all of us is large-scale colonization of Solar System.

Well, true!

For once, I disagree. When spent wisely, $3M can make a huge difference in a development of promising technology. And I am not talking just about software - an aerospace, material science, fusion or biotech startup can work with that.

Thanks! Language barrier is not a problem in my case, I am fluent in both English and Russian. I know one can get cheap engineering talent in Eastern Europe, was more curious about your startup idea.

Someone said "Russian aerospace engineers"? Can you share a bit about your idea? My email is contact@exodusorbitals.com

The short answer: you send us the source, we build, test and deploy the application package (binary+configuration files) to the satellite user segment. The answer to "one or many user segments" will depend on what we will learn fr

Fun fact that always amused me - Russian language has the word for a stronger flavour of "hopelessness/despair": безнадежность->безысходность Roughly translated as "endless despair"

Would be interested in any US citizen to join our team. We have the skills, but we are all either Canadian or British, sadly. Email me at contact@exodusorbitals.com P.S. Any cybersecurity experience is an asset, but not a requirement.
