Interstellar Technologies, a pioneering veteran-owned enterprise specializing in innovative propulsion and space systems, has successfully raised $21 million to advance its ambitious projects in the aerospace sector. This funding marks a significant milestone for the company, which boasts a highly skilled team with a wealth of experience from notable past engagements, including the development of the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle and the Dragon capsule. The infusion of capital will primarily be directed towards the completion of advanced development for Interstellar's cutting-edge hydrogen-powered engine, the Stratolaunch 200,000-pound thrust PGA Engine. This engine has already achieved critical design and hardware testing milestones, and the additional funding aims to expedite its progress towards becoming one of the fastest large engine developments in history. Interstellar Technologies is not only focused on enhancing propulsion systems but also aims to contribute to commercial and government space programs that demand high-performance, reliable technology. The company’s dedication to innovation, combined with the expertise drawn from previous endeavors—including work on NASA’s Space Shuttle Main Engine and the Air Force Integrated Powerhead Demonstrator—positions it as a formidable player in the aerospace landscape. As the company looks ahead, this funding will empower Interstellar to push the boundaries of space exploration and further solidify its role in shaping the future of propulsion technology.

Sensmet Ltd
Don't wait for laboratory analysis - get the battery metal concentration results now! Sensmet has simplified optical emission spectroscopy and brings the ICP-OES performance next to the process - online and 100% automated. Today, Sensmet's µDOES is the only existing low maintenance analytical technology capable of real-time multi-metal concentration measurements in industrial liquid processes. µDOES (Micro-discharge Optical Emission Spectroscopy) is a superior online measurement technology to quantify lithium and other key battery metals in hydrometallurgical processes! Typical measurements include Li, Mn, Co, Ni, K, Mg, Na, Ca, Zn, Al, Fe. The µDOES is based on optical emission spectroscopy; a spark (=micro-plasma) is generated directly inside the aqueous sample. During a millisecond-long plasma discharge (= spark), the sample solution gets flash-heated to a high 10,000°C temperature: molecular species in the water get dissociated into atoms, followed by excitation of the atoms to their higher electronic states. Atoms release their excess energy by emitting optical light upon returning to their ground state. Analysis of the atomic emission spectrum enables qualitative and quantitative analysis of metals." If you are interested and want to realise the benefits of the unique µDOES® analyser technology in your industrial process, please contact us.
