Rui Botelho (Brazilian Space) Germany’s Isar Aerospace raises $91M to get its satellite launch vehicle off the ground Techcrunch   By Ingrid Lunden  December 8, 2020, 4:26 PM GMT-3   Image Credits: Isar Aerospace   The aerospace industry has seen an explosion of activity from the world of startups, where bright engineers are foregoing jobs at large corporations and opting instead to raise funding from increasingly ambitious venture capitalists to build their own startups to turn moonshots into business realities. In the latest development, a startup out of Munich has raised the largest round to date in European sp...

Hello reader! Below you can read the news " Rocket-launching drone ready to take satellites into orbit ", published on Sciencemag's website, in 03/12/2020. Greetings and good reading! Brazilian Space   Rocket-launching drone ready to take satellites into orbit Sciencemag By Sarah Scole December 03, 2020, 12:00PM   Aevum’s RAVN-X is a drone system that carries satellites high in the atmosphere, where a rocket takes over.  (Credit: Aevum)   It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s the RAVN-X—a rocket-launching drone designed to send small satellites to orbit without a pilot or a launchpad. Aerospace startup Aevum unveiled the first flight-ready model today, in advance of the system’s first mission: a 2021 launch for the U.+0S. Space Force, to take place after flight testing.   The company has already inked about $1 billion in military contracts, but Jay Skylus, founder and CEO, believes the RAVN-X system will be useful for remote-sensing scientists interested in launch...

Hello, readers! Last week, news about the successful test of a Chinese rocket capable of landing like SpaceX's Falcon 9 was widely circulated in the press and social media. The chinese company Linkspace presented a video showing a 300 meters jump of its  recoverable  launch vehicle prototype: the  RLV-T5. See the video below: According SpaceNews(.com) " A full test flight of the NewLine-1 orbital launcher, to be capable of carrying 200 kilograms to a 500 kilometer sun-synchronous orbit (SSO), is planned for 2021.". With the advertised payload and orbit capabilities, we cannot classify this LV as a direct opponent of the legendary Falcon 9 , but, considering  the advanced TRL (Technology Readiness Level) of this prototype, we should soon see a first competitor to challenge SpaceX's hegemony in this field of "suicide-burn" recoverable rockets.
