Founder of @zennospace. Launched world’s first superconducting electromagnet to space (2023). Building for life in space. ☦️

I would be humbled and honoured to be of service to SpaceX in building a lunar mass driver. Zenno has the world’s best understanding and experience in building commercial superconducting electromagnets for space applications, and our visions are fully aligned. We are building so

In aerospace electronics we avoid “aerospace grade” like a plague
"Aerospace grade materials" might be the single most overused marketing phrase in consumer electronics

Somebody should start reviewing space tech from the aesthetics standpoint point. Like we review consumer gadgets.

Neuralink should enable people to see magnetic fields, I’d pay for this feature

Supertorquer awaits power-up approval while vehicle commissioning is underway.
On-Orbit Update: Vehicle commissioning is underway and customer payload deployments have begun on the LEO Express 3 Mission. After separation from the launch vehicle, our team used new, Impulse-built radios to make contact with Mira. The spacecraft autonomously deployed its new

Supertorquer is approximately 5–7 times lighter and about 6 times shorter than the Hubble Space Telescope magnetic torquer.
Zenno is launching the world’s strongest magnetic torquer this year at 3,600 A·m². The strongest publicly known torquer to date flew on the Hubble Space Telescope at 3,500 A·m².

A superconducting coil mass driver
@SciGuySpace Giant lunar base with AI satellite factories and a mass driver to shoot them into deep space (of course)

Strong magnetic fields provide a robust, safe, and scalable way to perform autonomous close-proximity operations in space, and we look forward to demonstrating this under the contract.
Zenno awarded German federal contract for next-generation satellite autonomy. Zenno Astronautics has been awarded a contract by Germany’s Federal Agency for Breaktrhough Innovation SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen to develop a new generation of autonomous satellite

There is only one space superconductor company on Earth at present and it’s @zennospace
This is Elon telling you the future. A mass driver is basically a giant electromagnetic catapult. You build a track on the Moon, run current through superconducting coils, and yeet payloads into space at 5,300 mph. No fuel. No rocket engines. Just electricity. Gerard O'Neill

A superconducting coil mass driver is more advantageous than an electromagnetic railgun.
@rmcentush Starship could deliver 100GW/year to high Earth orbit within 4 to 5 years if we can solve the other parts of the equation. 100TW/year is possible from a lunar base producing solar-powered AI satellites locally and accelerating them to escape velocity with a mass driver.

Our host vehicle, Mira, is healthy and its solar panels are deployed. Thank you, Impulse Space.
🚀 LEO Express 3 is officially underway! Mira has successfully launched aboard the Transporter-15 rideshare mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base. Following separation from SpaceX’s Falcon 9, we’ve received initial telemetry data and confirmed two-way comms, as well as

Flawless work by SpaceX. We now have the world’s first commercial superconducting product in space. Time to take Supertorquer for a spin.
Successful orbit insertion. Zenno Supertorquer has been deployed into its planned orbit aboard Impulse Space Mira, launched by a SpaceX Falcon 9. We are now moving into the next phase of the mission and will run operations over the coming months.
