First private superconducting magnet in orbit (2023). Strongest space-borne magnet (2026). Building for life in space. ☦️🇺🇸
- We are winding superconducting electromagnets and sending them to space.
- World’s first superconducting magnet is now in space. A historic step towards consciousness expanding beyond Earth.The future arrives: @ZennoSpace superconducting technology opens up a universe of new possibilities in space #Space #Technology #Spacecraft #NewZealand #Rocket #Orbit #Satellite wix.to/ZmmVh5s wix.to/ZmmVh5s
- Replying to @ashtonforbesI’ve just launched the world’s first superconducting magnet into space. LK99 is bullshit. It’s not a superconductor because it doesn’t conduct electrical current without resistance. It violates the definition of a superconductor. Move on guys.
- With superconducting electromagnets, we could achieve precise control, enabling complex space architectures and unprecedented missions. Imagine a future where spacecraft fly in close and controlled formation using nothing but electromagnetic forces.
- In December 2023 we demonstrated that superconducting electromagnets in space are feasible with Stirling cycle cryocoolers and optimized power electronics, bypassing the impracticality of liquid cooling. This opens new avenues for advanced space applications.
- We've recently secured investment from All Nippon Airways (ANA Holdings) and Mitsubishi Electric, facilitated through Japan's top VC firm, Global Brain. This investment enables Zenno Astronautics to fully deploy Z01, marking it the world's first superconducting product designed
- Replying to @daniel_guer17Pure magnetic deflection is not sufficient but is most of the solution. We require a hybrid approach, then we seem to have solved the problem. At least in terms of (charged particle penetration rate) to (mass of the system) ratio.
- Ethnically New Zealand is 71.8% European. So, it makes sense that most kiddos look European. Would have looked different if they took a picture of a class room in Samoa.
- Replying to @codyaimsWe build an engine which does not require lubrication.
- We are building disruptive space hardware out of New Zealand.
- Imagine shielding astronauts from cosmic radiation with superconducting magnets, creating mini magnetospheres in space. This could revolutionize space travel safety, making Mars missions more probable.
