On Jan. 1, 2010, SpaceX had performed just two successful launches of its small Falcon 1 rocket, after three failures that put the company’s future in jeopardy. Six months later, SpaceX introduced the Falcon 9, which has become the company’s workhorse. As of mid-December 2019, SpaceX has launched 77 Falcon 9s. The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and Falco...
To observers on Earth, the moon goes through phases, waxing and waning over the course of about 30 days. The moon also waxes and wanes, albeit on far longer cycles, when it comes to space policy. At the beginning of the decade the moon was waning in importance. The Obama administration sought to cancel the Constellation program, which planned to re...
Billions of dollars in private capital flowed into space startups in the decade. In 2010, few entrepreneurs saw opportunities in the sector long dominated by government contractors. From early 2009 through the third quarter of 2019, 509 startups raised $24.6 billion, according to the venture capital firm Space Angels. The investment picture began t...
Books will be written about the commercial space renaissance of the 2010s and the unlikely convergence of smartphone technology with Silicon Valley riches, the cubesat standard and brokers offering excess launch capacity. It was the decade when NASA and the Defense Department turned to SpaceX to reduce launch costs and Jeff Bezos revealed he sells ...
With roughly 30,000 pieces of space debris softball size or larger in Earth orbit, including 3,000 functioning satellites, it’s no wonder space traffic management was a hot topic in the 2010s. The decade began on the heels of the 2007 Chinese antisatellite test and the 2009 collision of an Iridium communications satellite with a defunct Russian spa...
When the decade began, cubesats were popular teaching tools and technology testbeds. By the time it ended, NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Defense Department and the National Reconnaissance Office were flying their own cubesats or buying data gathered by commercial cubesat constellations. It was a remarkable turn...
The space industry, like society at large, spent much of the 2010s wrestling with long-simmering issues of diversity and inclusion. Although no one is declaring “Mission Accomplished,” companies and organizations made concerted efforts to bring new faces into the workforce with some success. “Diversity in aerospace is slowly improving and that is o...
In the early 2000s, 3D printing was a popular tool for prototyping components and shaving weight from noncritical spacecraft parts. That was before GE Aviation began incorporating 3D-printed nozzles in a new generation of turbofan engines and SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket with a 3D-printed Merlin engine valve. Once additive manufacturing proved...
Earth observation from space was dominated by a handful of nations in 2010. A decade later, dozens of countries, including China, are gathering imagery and data via satellite. As a result, Earth observation has become a popular tool for monitoring global oil supplies, soybean yields and air quality. Meanwhile, commercial remote sensing startups spr...
As the decade began, the U.S. military was starting to turn its attention from Iraq and Afghanistan to new potential adversaries. In 2011, President Obama announced America’s pivot toward the Asia Pacific, a vast theater that demanded increased reliance on space-based communications and surveillance. At the same time, military and intelligence lead...
