and make a hot warming donation to children affected by the recent earthquakes and the country supporters through thousands of teddy bears and other stuff. toys on to the pitch event was organized by found group self. the home side is stumble based, flop bishop, such. there were also reports of support as chops calling on the turkish government to reside and that's it from me and the news team for nob rankoff will out an update for you at the top of the i don't go away up next, close up off of space should be protected from private interests. gabrielle was in berlin. thanks so much. jen. these had 1111 north single woman, the gender gap in space exploration. germany's 1st female astronaut has been waiting for years to get her turn. the private initiative is pushing to make it happen. the mission is to send the 1st female jasmine straw to face destined for

space. starts more jake on d. w. and die a cybersex. on february 6th 2018. the falcon heavy rocket took off on its maiden flight 2 and a half minutes after launch the 2 side boosters detached. 8 minutes after lift off, the pair touched back down in cape canaveral in a synchronized landing. it was another p r coup or space x, and it's boundary line must, who's become a leading figure in the burgeoning sector called new space in germany and elsewhere . a going number of commercial companies are now building rockets. all software

developers use satellite data to monitor gas pipelines and forests. college students build miniature research satellites and launch rockets. and at the political level, rivalries are intensifying. europe is competing against russia and china to install its own secure satellite network. a new age of space travel has dawned ah . in 2016, an interdisciplinary group called tude sat, was set up here at the technical university of dom stopped in germany. these members are working on small scale satellites, and measuring just 10 centimeters wide. there cube sats will later be fitted with sensors that can measure gamma radiation and charged particles in outer space. they

also have a special outer coating. hums, a little afflicted, polite as retro reflective film will illuminate this with a laser from down here and see whether the feedback identifies it as hands. i know it's an experiment because satellites and especially keeps answer often get lost after the launch do. so you can't say which one is yours along the, and we want to see if we can find our satellite ivanhoe, who had of his, he vincent cohen was fiano hom, as he, we can also create photo and video recordings from space which can mean more media attention and coverage, yada of max on and that could get more people interested in space online and wish oh man, lot of silence of a guy, son. in a few weeks, these students will be taking part in a college competition organized by the european space agency or isa. an important intermediate test of their progress of the winners get to take part in an 18 month professional satellite design training program. ribbon is as good as the guns of

all that we don't need to have done at all. but show solid groundwork causes of work which is thorough enough to show we've identified and addressed all the major issues article support and that what's left or details yet on trim? is that the? no, so yes, this is a big deal for us all from would you not bobbin as yahoo? search the dom shot university team comprises around 150 students drawn from various fields, physicists, computer scientists, mathematicians and electrical engineers. they all share a passion for space. several have already completed internships with the isa, the german aerospace center or other agencies. but when i'm coming on for one with the i was in one of the control rooms and got to dispatch a command to a satellite, evident also to think that that satellite is out there and then it replies steel command. that's just amazing is because i follow his muslim fellow and i think it

was when the space ex operations got all the media coverage that i thought i was. this is interesting and also kind of cool. will it combine space and has good job opportunities? so one of the singing come, many young people have found inspiration in space x. the american company founded by ellen mosque in 2002, over a decade ago, he was still building his 1st rocket launch site in cape canaveral. within sight of the famous nasa launch pad, as he was eager to show in company videos for liver. boeing, helpful vehicle mosque was also keen to highlight 80 percent of all space x rocket components being built in house. the 1st rocket, the falcon, one was 100 percent privately funded and after a series of failed launches, musk focused on the falcon 9. this thing is the turbo pump. this is, this is the chamber nozzle. and there's always supporting structure in there with avionics and control of our 43, june 2010,

the maiden voyage of falcon 9. let's grab the rebel about the reward for years of perseverance and risk. taking that outcome died. either musk hats off. good site doesn't use on mosque had a different approach or so he tried things without knowing whether they would work it and in fact no, he didn't ever image for sonya to falcon. things like falcon, one didn't work, but he carried on. dost always is and that's his real achievement. if by his own account, he was close to going bankrupt, taught us adamus dish dunbar banquets again. space ex other among the shy space eggs has changed public opinion. the more i listened, although i always joke about all the nasa t shirts, you see kids wearing to day that the st. how trendy, they are poke august casa, if you will. you will go ahead on with home law from the invoke the 5th, the and that's also thanks to space x us. all of us will space x as i study space

travel is now in its next chapter. after decades of being state run, the american space shuttle blasted off on its last flight in 20110. i left off the final lift off of it lamps, shoulders of the flight mark the end of protracted development cycles, and hugely expensive production. as shown in a comparison of rocket launches, launching every key low of that space shuttle into low earth orbit cost an estimated $65400.00 compared to rushes. so use rocket at just under $18000.00 per kilo mole. europe's arianna 5 rocket cost a little over 10000 followed by space. x is cut price falcon $9.00, and then the falcon heavy that just $1500.00 per kilo at space ex, development and production or under the same roof. some rocket components are made of a lightweight aluminum lithium alloy. the lower stage is reusable, which brings

a range of cost related benefits. german companies are learning from this american example. their micro launchers as they're called, have a payload of between 500 kilograms and 1.3 tons. currently they're still in the development and testing phase. none have actually taken off yet. the photo from microphone to nist us loops lesson. the advantage of micro launchers is that payloads can be put into a specific orbit on scheduled lines. and even if they are smaller than the co sniff, it's hint of a big a. rockets might be more cost efficient in terms of price per kilo kilo from but clients have to accept compromises. they're cool because they're going exactly where other payloads are also headed and it's less now inflating the german teams promise of faster flight into space and that the satellite reaches the precise orbit desired by the client. but they likewise have to keep production costs low as

the market has become highly competitive. good people who don't film there are over a 100 companies and start us world wide, offering their services by noon themselves. at the same time, there is considerable demand among satellite customers, but often suddenly conclude that demand means that satellites are booming in the new space industry. again, thanks also to space ex denton. well, it since 2018 the company has been launching its star link satellites on a regular basis. these provide internet that can download a 100 megabits per 2nd space eggs is primarily targeting more remote regions of the world that don't have vast landline access. there are already over 2000 starling satellites orbiting the earth. in january 2022, there were around 4800 satellites in orbit and that figure has since risen. almost

3 and a half 1000 were used by commercial entities. 150 served civilian purposes like research. 506 were government owned, and 411 were for spying and military purposes. the rest don't belong in any one category. satellites have become multi purpose. take the sentinel family operated by the isa. and part of the use copernicus, earth observation program. the sentinels are used for monitoring the oceans, measuring pollutants, and the atmosphere and mapping landscapes. farmers for example, can use their data for vegetation maps. these tell them where their crops are growing well and where they aren't. them came, it wasn't as where they need to use less or more fertilizer this year. the thing satellites are also helpful for monitoring gas pipelines. high resolution images reveal potential hazards on the ground. some offer accuracy to

within 30 centimeters, but for now, this is still a niche market talk. and you saw suit that had availability for high resolution data right now is still limited because there aren't many satellites in orbit capable of delivering it in them on the ship abide. but if you look at planned missions, including those by imaging companies, you see that many satellites will be launched in the near future with precisely these 50 and 30 centimeter resolutions, which on ties a centimeter office and harden. this level of detail means new space companies could also monitor the movement of goods at ports, for example, or detect a forest fire before it breaks out. an increasingly important asset in light of climate change. feed a middest dentist, one tiny, many medium sized companies don't know just how much value there is and satellite data sensors and trans. our vision and mission is to make people aware of this

through various applications, had silver platter, muscle, something, and dive. and we'd also like to cooperate with local authorities in the near future when common 9 am don beholden, launched him together, low cost rockets and the satellite boom are feeling a new phase of the space industry. in 2021, spending amounted to $370000000000.00. according to market intelligence firm euro consult by 2030. that figure is set to rise to 642000000000. the berlin air show, or isla, is one of the premier events of its kind in europe. new space is also a big topic here. i knows i couldn't vote nickel. one of our clients is setting up a communications constellation around the moon and a certain famous american player has set their side on mars. last and vizier. in restaurants, they're gone to bed. augustine investors from around the world are now interested

in space travel. oh, and they use different develop methods for faster and more flexible production solutions. mitchell had been stead sales. it's the dom, start students 1st time at the isla, just 2 weeks earlier. they found out that they had won a different international college competition as a prize. there satellite will get to hitch a ride on a chinese rocket. mutinous sash, gonna smell she actually we lost sight of this because the announcement was a year earlier on the cultural focus. so we forgot about it and thought we weren't going to hear anything any more than all kind of traditionally cult oh, the said, then we got this really positive news at all. as opposed to you from adams. irish mom. now they have to hurry to get everything ready in time for the launch. though, linda, that's the biggest challenge. it's extremely short notice for our mission to launch a satellite release. so that's what we're most worried about. miss thor. given the

time constraints, the group are pondering the idea of getting other university teams to build individual components or the body of the satellite. in the meantime, their own research continues. here, they're visiting a company that is helping out with equipment and expertise. the students are fitting their satellite with the reflective outer film to enable them to later locate it using a laser on the cubes that had 6 are cubes that had 6 sides before are completely taken up by solar cells. won partially and the other one is completely covered with the film nicholson opens up. we need to find out whether our film is suitable for outer space and has the optical properties we expect tom developed. and in particular, whether the film reflects enough of the laser beam, they want to see how it compares with a regular household mirror, which throws back over 95 percent of the beam. it's time to test the films reflective capacity. the result 2.5 millivolts. the reading means the return beam

is 2000 times weaker despite the very short distance. it's a sobering result. but even that low level of reflection, the students say, might be enough to locate the satellite hundreds of kilometers away. they also planned to attach tiny corner cubes to the exterior, to improve reflection, isn't even, and they're polished on 3 sides to ensure the light is reflected back where it came from. one of the kid they commonly used in aerospace know what said this is state of the art and instead of the art fitting, the pebble sized components cost $80.00 euro's each. however far more than the film for college projects, like there's the financial factor is an important one. something that was likely not an issue for the 1st satellite designers. they're only aim was getting a satellite into space. in october 1957,

the soviet union succeeded. it sputnik one transmitted a signal back to earth. sputnik success shocked the west. it come it with the army. those of yet on your own, these and after leading border fundings of yet wasn't given dust, vargas. now selina, it wasn't really about function. focus yet than a sputnik all sputnik one could do was go beep, beep beep. it was essentially just to show a power as just like the race to the moon via designs and technology were secondary soon. the main point was who's 1st is who's the fairest of them all? he is king. i'm for home vista, asterisk assurance, them guns in london. in response to months after sputnik, the americans launched their vanguard satellite into orbit. but the lift off was a disaster. the rock had ascended just one meter 20 off the ground.

it was a bitter set back in the cold war rivalry, but then a satellite or 2nd attempt to launch a space satellite, hours long. the u. s. is parallel explorer program, was headed by venna font brown, who had earlier worked on nazi germany's b one and b, 2 rockets. in february 1958 of the american media celebrated the explorer one becoming the country's 1st satellite to enter space. it's unfair to a dollar late that when, if the ally esl bottle is the father of a is an anglican novel vinny from the f who live if he invented design the subsequent decades saw the 2 superpowers pumping vast sums of money into their respective space ventures. eventually launching spy satellites to the militarization of space had begun. the americans were determined to keep the soviet

union in check. and in the 1980s announced plans for a laser and satellite based protective shield against enemy missiles, nicknamed star wars. the program never took off it, but the battle for space supremacy continued with a renewed focus on military applications, especially for satellites fact to the present. in february 2020, to the french city of to loose host at the ease space summit. one major point on the agenda was europe's need for a more proactive defense policy. so that could exist this at that. it is junky push . there are now spy satellites that can communicate with our own satellites, gets you and foreign powers developing technologies for shooting down objects in orbit. deborah, this is about this is the real world now. it's not science fiction suppressors and something. some of our rivals are investing heavily in fi botha newcomb fuel chief

among those rivals is china and emerging space nation after sending a series of astronauts into orbit beginning in 2003. the country now has its own space station up and running. according to media reports, china is also planning to set up a network comprising up to 20000 satellites. bankrolled by the government. right now, the united states is still the world's biggest spender, on space programs. in 2021, they invested almost $55000000000.00, followed by europe with around $14000000000.00. china has been gaining ground with $10000000000.00. less than half of that was spent by japan and russia. under pressure to respond, the e u plans to build up its own network of internet satellites by 2030. the estimated total cost is $6000000000.00 euros. she's extremely important is drug secured

communication. and when i say security is for the security, in other words, using quantum technologies to have a specific quantum encryptions which will allow a to protect a government and communication. all big companies, including fall to funds. the european space agency is itself pushing for more urgency on both the internet satellite front and mand moon landings. while you is settling and it wasn't due to the extent, it's vital that we're part of the discussion and of chasing after holy get into thus accelerate. we need to catch up, we're accelerate in how we use space for society. and also with regard to human exploration in human exploration, europe space strategy has based criticism. in the past, decision makers have been accused of dragging their heels and being to bureaucratic and of sleeping through the new space trend. and when will vision with the alley on

the next article, you only have to look at arianna 6 and example of collective failure across the board logging. alicia that still unable to fly and is not reusable, illustrates everything that's not working here. yeah, listen ish will 20th the launch of arianna 6 has been delayed several times since 2020. but the rocket has europe's hopes pinned on it and is scheduled to take off and 2023 men of criminals, which the dom shot students have been making faster progress. the university's rocket team are currently reviewing video footage of a test flight event. they attended a butting rocket ears from across germany, relished the chance to fire their contraptions up to one kilometer into the sky. o. the student version is a small test rocket powered by water pressure for in god which is pouring the water into the tank. but at that time, the tension mounts. according to the group's calculations, the rocket should reach

a height of almost 40 meters, but will the for 7 winds put the brakes on their efforts will dominate. so bottom line, typically, we have a successful parachute deployment federal schools. them, which is would you like katie here? not the rocket post flight looks really good, good and done. and then here are data the data is not is because i'm like, hidden as especially in light of the rocket size. one, you might think it was a failure, misery about, but the fact that we launched that, that the principal worked and we had a successful parish deployment, which means that it was a big success there. a foreclosure shortly afterwards. launch number 2, rocket science involves a lot of trial and error. that i oh i'm 009

ah, the slightest only. good. this is the sorry outcome of our 2nd flight to the tide at the lowest section stayed intact. but the head with the electronics has been torn apart because the parachute didn't deploy properly at 0. the students are now planning to switch from water pressure to solid fuel, which will deliver far more thrust a meant if it comes on some business. macau medium term goal is to keep on taking part in college competitions, where teams have students compete against each other with their rocket teams getting under an medium. but in a solid feel engine is a good option. because if it's straightforward structure function and handling, some of them do some things and the development time is shorter than an original liquid liquid engine concept going from a position to pick. so you can focus more on the rockets other components wouldn't ducky to constantly and

a new generation of space enthusiasts lou. but growing commercialization also means a changing nighttime sky. ready over $20000.00 satellites could be orbiting the earth just 10 years from now or the heavens in danger of losing their magic. oh there and like to stand him for thousands of years. the starry night time sky has inspired natural scientists to ask what those points up there actually aren't. and he's a pull to the home. there, stick to enough was a more profound dimension involved. where you wonder, who has the authority to intervene and say, the starry sky in itself is something worth protecting since v at us, over half of all satellites, including those belonging to starling, are located in low earth orbit or leo, up to 2000 kilometers above earth. medium earth orbit is where the gps, galileo and other navigation satellites operate. lou juice, stationary orbit,

or geo, or television satellite circle, the planet is at 35786 kilometers lou. some operators like space ex, have been darkening their satellites in order to reduce their reflectance and not ruin the romance of the nighttime sky. but they continue to pose a problem for professional stargazers the honda to didn't, didn't i? we have satellites that leave marks on images and can distort readings of if a satellite is flying right by a celestial object i am currently examining. then it's a problem. i put on those who can muster done that thus finish that interest little tip. it all comes down to a fundamental question. what, what prevents satellite operators from launching no tens, but hundreds of thousands of them? that's nothing and nobody they sent me month. the fact is that there are few space

regulations of lee. there is the outer space treaty negotiated in 1967 by the un. it's terms govern the peaceful exploration and use of the moon. for example, math and a ban on the deployment of weapons of mass destruction in outer space, o ne, engage in phase and moon exploration, an assert, and he claimed national sovereignty over the moon and left field, but that this is the province of all mankind. but there seem to be no bounds to the commercialization of outer space. no written stipulations on who can put how many rockets satellites or people into orbit and at which altitude and no regulations on space, debris, venomously, rest, shuffle, vaughn, to create law. you need the consensus of stakeholders on van and if it lodge number of the important party say it's not really necessary to create a law, then you have a huge problem ish. problems in leesburg is probably when she, china,

russia, and the us have a manifest interest in keeping written and legal commitments to a minimum so that they can essentially do what they want was, is an emergency mon kern bus, even the, i'd say, gosh, wow, the only agreement that exists is that everyone does what they can to prevent collisions. but there's no agreement on any details. tigers, teens with justice. michelle. kush whoa more satellites means a growing risk of collisions. and there's the growing problem of space. debris, garbage in space. since 1957, there have been around 6200 launches to day space. debris amounts to over 130000000 objects. many just one or 2 millimeters in diameter together they weigh in at over $9900.00 tons and pose a major challenge that isn't legal guns. it's, i'd like to see rules like in a national park and move those who take their trash back home after

a mission are permitted to fly. those who don't have to improve and show they will before being allowed to fly again. it is often before the feelings of the students and dom stop had been given the chance to send their miniature satellite into space on board. a chinese carry a rocket or launch vehicle as well, but all the, all of those, but they aren't sure it's politically ok. to accept such help from china on. so natasha madison is my gms. we didn't want to decide this for everyone. so we conducted the survey hostess of tennessee. it looks like 70 to 80 percent have reservations or even major reservations, hong ah, the remainder a strongly in favor of us doing the launch through the suite until somebody launched him as he got was i don't think any of us initially appreciated the scope of what we were getting involved and became hum. since that became clear, we've had growing reservations. and right now it looks like we won't go ahead with the launch, miss vanham. on the other hand,

that will give them more time to focus on the european space agency competition. to the earth orbit has become a battle ground for conflicting political interests and also a new and lucrative economy. whether the various business models of the burgeoning new space sector will ultimately succeed in taking off remains written in the stars . ah, ah . these places in europe are smashing the records step into a bold adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover. some of you are record breaking sites on your mac, youtube. and now also in book form,
