“The Department is acting on the urgent need for mobile, off-grid robotic telescopes with Observable Space’s Deployable, Attritable Optical Systems. These systems will provide the Joint Force with high-fidelity space domain awareness.”

Magical companies tend to concentrate in geographies. These geographies benefit from the virtuous cycle of great companies producing talent that goes on to build the next ones
I interviewed in El Segundo a year before SpaceX was founded, and left so uninspired by the aerospace establishment that I moved to Detroit to join GM. Then SpaceX changed El Segundo to the point where it now attracts the very best
Privileged to have sat down with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and her team today at Observable Space, with offices in LA and near Detroit, on seeding a talent engine and spawning tomorrow’s great tech companies in Michigan:

The next space race will be on the ground. Lasercom enables high-speed data transfer from deep space. @ObservableSpace enabled HD video for Artemis II, and this is just the beginning.

There's some cool technology behind HDTV from the Moon.

Artemis II wasn’t just a deep space mission, it proved that laser communications will be the backbone of compute in orbit, with transceivers from @ObservableSpace
Observable will move terabits between Earth and space, enabling datacenters, and more, in space.
Observable infra beyond Earth is coming 🚀

A little gem about to be delivered.
This mobile #SSA station combines an @ObservableSpace CDK14 tracking telescope with an L350 mount @Celestron RASA 8. Equipped with two Moravian Instruments Cameras & the Baader Planetarium OMS IT solution.
Interested? Get in touch with us.

This timelapse showcases one of our deep-sky imaging telescopes, the CDK600. This telescope is more than capable for your research, space awareness and exploration purposes.
Here is a beautiful image of the Rosette Nebula captured by the CDK600.

The Rosette Nebula is a vast, 130 light year wide emission nebula, approximately 5,000 light years away in the constellation, Monoceros (the Unicorn). The nebula acts as a cradle for new stars, containing massive amounts of gas and dust that form new stellar bodies.

Our CDK1000 capturing the Topsy Turvy Galaxy.
The Topsy Turvy Galaxy is a cosmic oddity where stars and gas whirl in chaotic, misaligned orbits, defying the spinning disks seen in typical galaxies. A true celestial showstopper that’s on everyone’s radar.
