We mine asteroids
You don’t just “ping” a spacecraft 22 million miles away. You aim a 32-meter dish with 0.15° precision… and a lot of hope. Here’s how we design deep-space comms that actually work— plus what Odin taught us the hard way. 📡 astroforge.com/updates-collec…
Vibe testing is where spacecraft stop being theoretical. On Roid Rage this week, Wesley from our Structures team walks us through how we’re building up Vestri to survive the shaker and why fast hardware loops beat perfect CAD. Live now. Apple → apple.co/40550YW Spotify…
AstroForge is at @ascendspace in Las Vegas this week! @MattGialich will be exploring the honest highs and lows of building a space startup at the Founder's Panel on Tuesday, July 22 at 1pm PT. No sugarcoating– just earned learnings from real founders (alongside @joe_landon,…
Your spreadsheet says 4.0 kg. Your part ships at 4.3. On this week’s Roid Rage: margins, mass creep, and what we learned redesigning a structural plate five times. Episode 21 ft. Structures Engineer Eric is now live. Apple → apple.co/40550YW Spotify →…
New Roid Rage every Thursday, btw. This week, we're covering primary structures. Send your questions to [email protected] ☄ Apple → apple.co/40550YW Spotify → spoti.fi/404eHqx YouTube → bit.ly/44g4mdy
“Space economy” is a buzzword. So what’s actually real? This week on Roid Rage, we get blunt about where the money is, why asteroid mining fits, and what still hasn’t changed since the Shuttle Ep. 20 with Krystle Caponio breaks it down. Now live. Apple →…
At the University of AstroForge, you are invited to embark on a journey through the cosmos, exploring the intricacies of our deep-space missions. Here, we dive into the tapestry of our endeavors, unraveling our missteps, triumphs, and learnings. We’re kicking things off with a…
The future of space is now. We're sitting with our Chief Business Officer Krystle Caponio to talk about what’s broken, what’s changing, and what we’re building differently on Roid Rage this week. Send in q's you want us to answer this week to [email protected] ☄️
This is why we refine on the asteroid. Physics.
For everyone asking if we can move this Low Earth Orbit to make mining it easier. Psyche 16 has a mass of 2.7 x 10 ^19 kg. We need to move it by about 10km/s. You need an Impulse of 2.72 x 10^23 Falcon 9 Second stage can produce ~981KN of Impulse So you only need 7 TRILLION…
Spacecraft don’t wing it. They follow mission modes: pre-defined states that govern power, comms, and autonomy. For Episode 19, we cover how we build and test spacecraft modes, and why “Oh Shit Mode" is essential. Apple → apple.co/40550YW Spotify →…
