"The satellite Tacheles was developed by the Berlin-based startup Neurospace GmbH and launched on April 2nd from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, as part of the Artemis II mission."
"In simple terms, Tacheles is a small test satellite designed to carry electronic components into some of the harshest conditions around Earth and see if they keep working."
"By flying through intense radiation and extreme temperature swings over extended periods in space, the mission will test whether the hardware is tough enough to be used in the future on robots operating near the Moon."
"Neurospace itself reflects a familiar Berlin story. The company was founded in 2020 during the pandemic by engineer Irene Selvanathan, who came to Berlin from Sri Lanka with her family in the 1980s."
The satellite Tacheles, developed by Berlin-based Neurospace GmbH, launched on April 2nd as part of NASA's Artemis II mission. This small test satellite, about the size of a carry-on suitcase, aims to test electronic components in extreme space conditions. By enduring intense radiation and temperature fluctuations, Tacheles will assess the durability of hardware for future robotic operations near the Moon. The satellite's name reflects Berlin's artistic heritage and the city's innovative spirit in technology and exploration.
