It’s one of our favorite times of the year! Each summer we welcome a new group of Summer in Space interns – a team of bright minds from across the country. In addition to receiving hands-on experience in a professional environment, they also get to enjoy all that Colorado has to offer, like Boulder’s annual Tube to Work day! We’re proud to celebrate #NationalInternDay today and offer this program annually to guide the next generation of innovative thinkers to explore possibilities in the space domain. #interns #spacetechnology #smallsatellites #space #cubesats #microsats #minisats #components #classof2024

This weekend, we celebrate #InternationalMoonDay, which commemorates Neil Armstrong’s walk on the moon on July 20, 1969. In 2022, Blue Canyon provided avionics on 8 of the 10 CubeSats that were secondary payloads to the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration #Artemis I mission. After the conclusion of the #Apollo program more than 50 years ago, we’re proud to have been part of the return to #lunar exploration. In this photo, courtesy of NASA, the team at Kennedy Space Center installs BioSentinel, the final CubeSat to be loaded onto the Space Launch System rocket’s Orion stage adaptor. Utilizing Blue Canyon Technologies’ industry-trusted avionics assemblies, BioSentinel is more than 13 million miles from Earth, in orbit around the Sun, carrying a miniature biotechnology laboratory designed to measure how living yeast cells respond to long-timer exposure to space radiation. Last year, NASA decided to extend BioSentinel’s mission by 18 additional months, relying on our XACT attitude control system, sun sensors and reaction wheels to collect this valuable deep space radiation data in the unique, high-radiation environment beyond low Earth orbit. #smallsatellites #cubesats #spacetechnology #spaceexploration #spacedomain #moonday

Blue Canyon's heritage encompasses diverse orbital regimes, including VLEO. Our Executive Director of Spacecraft weighs in on some of the breakthroughs in material sciences that are contributing to the rise of Very Low Earth Orbit.
Staff Writer at Constellations, Government Technology Insider, The Modern Battlespace, Modern Data Center Journal, and the Government Satellite Report.
According to a new market report from Juniper Research, Very Low Earth Orbit is poised to become a $220B industry by 2030. But what makes this moment in time the prime opportunity for #VLEO to finally flourish? Juniper Research, Blue Canyon Technologies and LeoLabs examine the #satellite #propulsion and #powergeneration advancements that are now enabling the #orbit. https://lnkd.in/gs7nJ-wX

From negotiation and contract drafting to compliance and risk management, our Contracts Team helps Blue Canyon enable space missions to expand the frontiers of science and defense. As Contracts people who deal with laws, regulations and serious words, you might not know that they are also not-so-secret space and science fans who love seeing the company’s contributions to the future of space exploration and climate change tracking. When asked what their favorite part about working at Blue Canyon is, they said “We have amazing people who work here. We care about the work we do, the customer, the mission and our fellow colleagues across all departments. Much of the work the Contracts Team does is cross-functional, so we get a front-row seat to seeing how good everyone is at working with one another. It’s one of the best parts of our job and it’s not something you see everywhere – Blue Canyon is special!” #smallsats #teamwork #space #aerospace #spacetechnology #contracts
