  1. https://sam.gov/opp/78291b82c74d4682a4ef7979f019ea79/view "This Sources Sought is to assess available and viable Company Level Small Uncrewed Aircraft System candidates for a follow-on demonstration in support of the United States Army Maneuver Elements. Additionally, these UASs may fulfill a Directed Requirement initiative or future Urgent Capability Acquisition. The UAS must be 2020 NDAA Sec 848 and 2023 NDAA Sec 817 compliant or demonstrate a path to compliance."
  2. With all the hubbub about Russian nuclear space things I agree with the camp that thinks it is something nuclear powered. https://www.thespacereview.com/article/3809/1

  4. Fairly confident this is a photoshop, the person who made it does not appear to be aware of the offset mantlet an Abrams has.

The focus of this manuscript is on the concept design of chemical propellant-based transportation systems including a dual role lander/ascent vehicle and an in-space transporter. Mission performance analyses performed during a recent design analysis cycle derived the 300,000 kg propellant production capacity utilized for preliminary concept designs of enabling surface ISRU systems, power systems, fluid handling systems, and their concept of operation, detailed in companion papers."

  8. Some of the highlights of the call. -A2, A3 and A4 in September 2025, 2026 and 2028 -A2 delay comes from needing to understand an ablation of the heat shield during the skip that was different than expected, the circuitry of a co2 scrubber and battery connections for the LAS -Starship flight 3 in Feb, will not be a prop transfer -no changes to the mission plan of A2 and A3 -uncrewed HLS demo in 2025, will be both a landing and liftoff -NASA asking SX and BO about cargo versions of their HLS
  9. There is a thread for German vehicles and a thread for the Leo2 in particular but it is fine to post here.
