Interview with David Oh, Chief Engineer NASA’s upcoming Psyche mission is a robotic spacecraft mission that will explore the asteroid 16 Psyche, which is believed to be made almost entirely of metal. The mission is scheduled to launch in October 2023 and arrive at the asteroid in 2026. The spacecraft will study the asteroid’s composition, geology, and magnetic field. The mission will also test a new laser communication technology that will allow for faster data transmission between Earth and the spacecraft. This interview features David Oh, a Chief Engineer for Psyche: Journey to a Metal World, a mission in NASA's Discovery program. David has experience in all phases of spacecraft development from conceptual design to deep space operations. He has worked on both Earth Orbiting and Interplanetary missions and has led teams of 20+ engineers in spacecraft design, testing, and operations. His expertise includes avionics, electric propulsion, low thrust trajectories, power systems, and spacecraft environmental interactions. For more information visit https://www.nasa.gov/psyche

We’re just a few weeks away for the Crew-7 mission, the seventh operational flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft. SpaceX’s Crew Dragon is a reusable spacecraft designed to transport astronauts to and from the International Space Station. It is part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, which aims to provide safe, reliable, and cost-effective transportation to and from the ISS. Crew Dragon is capable of carrying up to seven astronauts and is equipped with advanced features such as touch screen controls, an environmental control and life support system, and a launch escape system. The spacecraft is launched atop a Falcon 9 rocket and returns to Earth by splashing down in the ocean. Since its first crewed flight in May 2020, Crew Dragon has successfully transported multiple crews to the ISS, including the upcoming Crew-7 mission. This mission will transport four astronauts to the International Space Station: Jasmin Moghbeli from NASA, Andreas Mogensen from ESA (European Space Agency), Satoshi Furukawa from JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), and Konstantin Borisov from Roscosmos. The launch is currently targeted for August 17th and will take place at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. In this episode I’m pleased to present my recent interview with Crew 7 pilot Andreas Mogensen. This will be his second trip to space, following his 10-day ISS mission in 2015 where he became the first Danish citizen in space. During the Crew-7 mission, Andreas will be responsible for the spacecraft’s performance and systems, and will become the first European to serve as the pilot of a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft. In addition, Andreas will take over as Station Commander of the ISS in September. In this interview, we will discuss Andreas’ role in the Crew-7 mission, his passion for space exploration, and some of the experiments that he will conduct on board the International Space Station during the 6-month mission.

The New Guys by Meredith Bagby I am delighted to welcome author and space historian Meredith Bagby to our show today. Meredith has just released her latest book, "THE NEW GUYS: The Historic Class of Astronauts That Broke Barriers and Changed the Face of Space Travel". In this captivating work, Meredith delves into the story of the first class of civilian astronauts for the space shuttle, and their enduring impact on the American space program. —————————————————————— ツ HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS INTERVIEW! 👉 Don't forget to subscribe to this channel & press the bell 🔔 for more updates. 👉 Subscribe now: https://rb.gy/d61xej ⌨ Share your opinion by commenting and what let us know interviews you want next. —————————————————————— The first class of civilian astronauts for the Space Shuttle program was selected in 1978, as part of NASA's effort to diversify the astronaut corps and bring in more non-military personnel. The class included two women, Sally Ride and Judith Resnik, as well as three men, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, and Gregory Jarvis. The civilian astronauts brought a range of expertise to the space program, from physics and engineering to medicine and social sciences. Their selection marked an important shift in the space program, demonstrating NASA's commitment to opening up space travel to a broader range of Americans. Tragically, two members of the class, Resnik and Onizuka, were among the crew of the Challenger space shuttle that was lost in the 1986 explosion, underscoring the risks and challenges of space exploration. However, their legacy lives on, inspiring new generations of astronauts and space enthusiasts to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible in space travel. As a historian and expert on space exploration, Meredith's research and insights are second to none. Her book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of space travel, and for those who are inspired by the courage and determination of the early pioneers of spaceflight. —————————————————————— 👇👇👇 Your Space Journey 🌐 Website: https://www.yourspacejourney.com 📧 For business inquiries: info@yourspacejourney.com 🥰 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourspacejourney ——————————————————————

SPACE RACE 2.0: SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, NASA, and the Privatization of the Final Frontier Interview with Author Brad Bergan In this episode we’ll discuss SPACE RACE 2.0, a new book that follows the development of commercial space exploration to the present, including today’s major players SpaceX, Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic. Joining me today is the book’s author Brad Bergan. Brad is senior editor at NFT Now. Previously, he was a contributing editor at Futurism and senior editor at Interesting Engineering, specializing in space and tech. As an investigative journalist, his words have been cited in Bloomberg, Discover, Business Insider, and NBC News. SPACE RACE 2.0 Space Race 2.0 follows the development of commercial space exploration to the present. The first steps in private ventures are covered, such as those by Space Services Inc. and Orbital Science in the 1980s and ’90s, as well as today’s major players: SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic. While examining the hardware, Bergan also explores such considerations as the importance of design-forward equipment and the endgame: what ultimately is “in it” for firms at the forefront? Natural resources? NASA and ESA contracts? Commercial travel? Communications? And what legal boundaries, if any, restrain corporate interests in space? Space Race 2.0 is the only authoritative photographic history of the efforts of private companies—often alongside NASA—to accelerate humankind’s exploration and understanding of the final frontier. It’s the ultimate visual look at this relatively young industry, looking back at recent remarkable decades—and ahead to what the future might bring.
