The newly designed and successfully demonstrated Kratos Trolley Launch System (KTLS), the second of three XQ-58 Valkyrie launch methods, enables the XQ-58 Valkyrie to take off from traditional runways or straight roads, as well as being deployed in standard shipping containers and rail launched with Rocket Assist Take Off (RATO) from austere locations. The KTLS is unpowered with take-off thrust provided solely by the aircraft jet engine. For KTLS take off, which is fully autonomous, the aircraft engine throttles up just like a conventional jet take off, and the combined system, Valkyrie and KTLS, accelerates down the runway. Ultimately, at lift-off speed, the aircraft flies up and away (separates) from the KTLS which then deploys drogue chutes and brakes to a stop on the runway while the aircraft proceeds to its flight mission. Video of the KTLS launch can be found here: https://lnkd.in/et3KDGYN You can read the full Press Release here: https://lnkd.in/ebEm-gQB

🎧 New podcast available --> https://lnkd.in/eQ9hUtGr Over 27,000 satellites with flexible architectures are forecasted to be manufactured and launched between 2021 and 2031. Software-defined satellites are capable of much more than their hardware-restricted forerunners; new capabilities and applications can increase revenue and lower CapEx for satellite operators. New business models for software-defined satellites are changing the landscape of satellite communications. Learn more in our recent conversation with Florian Thirion of Airbus Defence and Space in episode 183 of #ConstellationsPodcast. #space #satellite #software #Airbus #telecommunications #flexiblesatellites

DIFI held its second PlugFest last week! Participants tested a variety of devices to ensure compatibility with DIFI 1.2 standards, which was introduced last September. Nine equipment makers submitted an assortment of modems, digitizers and simulators for testing, and about 178 test cases were executed with 93% of tests at least partially compliant, and 75% fully compliant.
