ExLabs Presents: Explorers Podcast

Jason Mezilis, professionally known as Jason Achilles, is a composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and space enthusiast who is known for his innovative work in music and video and audio recording technologies for space exploration. His work can be found on digital streaming platforms, as well as on the Moon and in the future, on Mars and Venus.

The space industry has traditionally been dominated by government agencies and large corporations, but there are increasing examples of outsiders making significant contributions to space exploration and technology. These outsiders include organizations like the Inspiration4 mission, which is crewed by a diverse group of individuals including a physician assistant and a geoscientist.

One of the main benefits of the space economy is the potential to address a range of challenges on Earth, including food shortages, environmental issues, and health concerns. Access to space technology can also help to improve the efficiency and sustainability of industries like agriculture, by allowing for more precise monitoring of crops and potential threats to harvests. There is a need for more diverse and inclusive participation in the space industry, as it has the potential to bring significant benefits to humanity. This includes opportunities for individuals and companies to develop and utilize new technologies, as well as for educators to teach about space-related topics and inspire the next generation of space explorers.

On the episode, Jason shares with us emerging opportunities for industry outsiders. We cover topics from how and when should companies take advantage of their greater access to space and pursue emerging use cases What benefits can the space economy bring to earth Where do you see the biggest need upcoming in the space economy?

Jason has also worked on full 16-minute audio captured on Sol 16 by the DPA 4006 capsule onboard the Mars Perseverance rover, released by NASA/JPL on Mar. 17, 2021. Audio has been processed to filter out electrical interference caused by various internal systems, while preserving clarity of the actual sounds being captured through the Martian atmosphere.

Advanced robotics play a vital role in space exploration, as they allow us to access and gather data from environments that are too dangerous or difficult for humans to reach. There are various types of robots that are used for different purposes in space exploration, including explorer bots, assistant bots, and automated systems.

Explorer bots, like NASA's Quadcopter Robot, are designed to explore and gather data from distant planets and moons. These robots are often equipped with a range of sensors and instruments that allow them to perform tasks such as mapping the surface, collecting samples, and analyzing the environment.

Assistant bots, like Astrobees, are designed to assist astronauts in their daily tasks aboard the International Space Station (ISS). These robots can move freely throughout the ISS and perform tasks such as taking inventory, documenting experiments, and moving cargo.

Overall, advanced robotics play a crucial role in space exploration, as they allow us to gather valuable data and perform tasks that would be impossible or impractical for humans to do. As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see even more sophisticated and capable robots being used in space exploration.

In this episode we will dive deeper into the role of AI & robotics in space exploration, what are some of the robots NASA is currently; like astrobees aboard the ISS. We also discuss how ExLabs vehicles will be designed for coupling and maintaining control of an object to enable trajectory alterations and redirection into easily-accessible parking orbits.

On this episode of Exlabs Presents: The Explorers Lab Podcast we'll be focusing on NASA's Artemis missions and their plans for landing on the moon. First, we'll be discussing the Artemis 1 mission, which was an uncrewed test flight of the Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft. This mission paved the way for future crewed missions to the moon. Next, we'll explore the Artemis 2 mission, which will be the first crewed flight of the Orion spacecraft and will pave the way for the Artemis 3 mission. Artemis 3 will be the first crewed lunar landing since the Apollo missions in the 1970s and will be a historic moment in space exploration. We will break down the mission's objectives and what we can expect from this historic event.

Next, we'll dive into some of NASA's other moon missions and the key technologies they're using to make them a success. From oxygen generation to filtering ice from the moon's regolith, we'll be examining the exciting innovations that are making lunar exploration possible. We will also be talking about the Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment (PRIME-1) and how it's paving the way for future lunar mining operations.

Finally, we'll wrap up the episode with a discussion of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission and its role in understanding the potential impact of asteroids on Earth. DART's mission goal is to demonstrate the capability to redirect the path of a hazardous asteroid by striking it with a spacecraft at high speed.

The space industry is dominated by government agencies and large corporations, many of which operate satellite systems for communication, navigation, and other purposes. There is also a growing commercial space sector, which includes companies involved in the manufacture and launch of rockets and satellites, as well as those providing services such as satellite imagery and space tourism.

There are several questions and concerns surrounding the industrialization of space. One concern is the issue of space debris, as the increasing number of objects in orbit poses a risk to operational satellites and spacecraft. Another concern is the potential for the militarization of space, as countries around the world seek to develop their own space capabilities and defend their interests in orbit. There are also questions about the regulation of space activities and the allocation of limited resources such as orbital slots and radio frequencies.

In the first episode of The Explorers Podcast, the teams take a look at both opportunities and challenges with the industrialization of space and why it will be important to address these issues in a responsible and sustainable manner as the industry continues to grow and evolve.
