Exolaunch

At Exolaunch, recruiting is no laughing matter. We take the same approach to recruiting as we do to testing satellites and separation systems, checking that every candidate is able to pass the vibe test, withstand launch stresses while maintaining a stable resonance with our company culture 🤝🚀 Following the relevant NASA, ECSS, SMC and LOL standards, all candidates are required to undergo a formal Vibe Check at our state-of-the-art testing facilities. All candidates must pass a rigorous assessment performed on our shaker table, verifying that our talent pool is fully aligned with Exolaunch’s operational frequency and team dynamics 🔥 With a sequence of vibration tests powered by A.I. (Arbitrary Input), our highly trained Human Resources experts will monitor candidates' response to: ▪️ Random vibe - Evaluate a candidate's statistical approximation of competence across a wide frequency range, and check for "loose screws". ▪️ Quasi-Static - Check whether candidates can withstand the maximum predicted work environments, or whether they'll crack under the strain. ▪️ Resonance Sweep - Establish a candidate's fundamental frequency; candidates exhibiting poor responses are often rejected at this stage. ▪️ Coupled Loads Analysis - Based on the test results, we can establish whether your dynamics will interact well with our corporate system. Think you can pass the Vibe Check? Check our open positions, Exolaunch is hiring across multiple locations! https://lnkd.in/dUTbDeZn Disclaimer: No engineers were harmed 😉

#Transporter-16: 🇫🇷 Exolaunch is proud to announce the award of a launch contract by France’s ONERA - The French Aerospace Lab through a public tender to deliver their Flylab-1 and Flylab-2 satellites into orbit aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-16 mission today! The Flylab mission is a technology demonstration mission by ONERA. Flylab-1 carries a thermal optical payload without cooling: its mission is to validate the in-orbit behavior of this sensor. Flylab-2 studies the impact of ionosphere on radar signals. The two satellites are equipped with propulsive systems and will perform relative manoeuvres 🛰️ The satellites have been successfully integrated by our teams with Falcon 9 prior to their launch at Vandenberg Space Force base. Exolaunch is providing launch program planning, launch capacity procurement, launch mission management, satellite integration, global shipping, customs clearance, and satellite deployment services using our flight-proven deployer, EXOpod #Nova. Thank You to the ONERA team for our fruitful collaboration. Looking forward to a successful launch and to advancing European space capabilities, together 👋 In total, Exolaunch is gearing up to deploy 57 customer satellites aboard Transporter-16, celebrating its 25th launch with Falcon 9 🚀 Tune in here to check out the payloads manifested by Exolaunch and watch the launch live: https://lnkd.in/eFx9v8eh 📸: Kongsberg NanoAvionics, Exolaunch #LaunchWithExolaunch
