GRAZE, our first orbital demo mission, is alive and talking to us ✅ We made contact after LEO injection & the payload is healthy. We’re now testing the in-house avionics that will fly on LYOBA and upcoming vehicles, starting with reprogramming and navigation. More Results soon.

Our 1st demo mission just reached orbit, we're already building a cleanroom for the next ones 🚧 400 m² at our HQ, partly ISO Class 8, with a shaker and a TVAC chamber to qualify flight hardware in-house. Join the team running it as our AIT technician at pave.space/careers

GRAZE, our first demo mission to space will launch to orbit very soon to test our in-house avionics ⤴️🤩 Stay tuned for the launch date!

To all technical students and engineers in Europe.
The US export control on LLMs is the first taste of what will become the new norm. Many people are calling for "radical measures" and that we need the equivalent of a Manhattan Project to create change in Europe. But this is not how change will happen. Change will never come top-down from a government. The state and EU can fund, but they cannot found it. That part is on us.
You are the only ones who can change this.
You are among the few people on this continent who actually know how to build foundational technology - LLMs, robotic AI, actuators from scratch, chip infrastructure, rocket engines, organoids. ETH, EPFL, TUM, École Polytechnique, KTH, Imperial and dozens more produce absurd talent every single year. And almost all of it talks itself out of building.
We finish our degrees surrounded by such an incredible average that we're sure someone is always better at [your idea] - so who are we to start? I've seen so many friends at ETH think they need to "get more experience first" and take a job at Nvidia or Google and never do anything interesting again.
Technology-driven companies aren't founded by the most qualified person. They're willed into existence by people who see what others do not and refuse to stop. The person who's "better than you" almost never does it. And as for experience, nothing will teach you how to build the thing like, well, just trying to build the thing.
Our education is a chance most of the world will never have. There are people in Europe who have to worry about getting a job. We get to worry about finding our dream job. We're able to make bets that not many people can make or afford. It's nothing anybody expects you to do, but if you want a life filled with purpose, this is a unique kind of responsibility you can choose to step up to.
So if you actually want to do something ambitious, how about changing a continent?
If you really want change, you cannot wait for others. You are one of the few people who can create it. It starts with you.

We're organising another event in Munich.
Last event's demo rate of participants: 100%.
My favourite projects so far:
▶︎ A guy who electrified his hometown church's pipe organ with PCBs
▶︎ Apple Vision Pro app for cyclists (don't ask about safety)
▶︎ Save-to-play: gamification of mobile apps that makes users pay into their own savings
▶︎ A Christmas cookie picking robot, including a peek at everything that went wrong along the way of building it
We need more people building if we want more upside in Europe.
@DominiqueCAPaul and I want to demystify what it actually takes to build something. By showing how we and every Demo Night participant go from the first line of code that follows an idea all the way to a finished project or a real business, it becomes clear what works and what doesn’t.
If you want to be part of this and meet people who, like you, are just going for it, sign up here. luma.com/kw4c85ea
A random side project, the latest paper, or the newest core feature you shipped, whatever it is, everyone here wants to see it and help you succeed (you might also win one of our prizes).
We’re thrilled to have PXR as our host and sponsor for the food afterwards. And if you’re weighing the legal side of turning your demo into a company, I know Daniel and the team are happy to help.

Rope making is one of the oldest manufacturing processes in the world - dating back to 17,000BC when people weaved vines by hand.
The patent for automating was issued in the 1800s and the process named after maypole dancers.
This is what one looks like today.
It looks complex but it follows simple rules - bobbins alternate directions, creating a weave automatically just from the track geometry.
•The faster it pulls through, the stronger along the length
•The slower it pulls through, the stronger against crush
This is because the braid angle changes - shallow for axial load, steep for hoop load.
Same machine, same material, completely different structural properties.
Today it’s used for aerospace components, hydraulic hose, and braiding robotic hands.

Martin Scorsese is an advisor to Black Forest Labs.
He's spent six decades shaping how the world sees stories. Now he's helping us shape visual intelligence with human taste and craft at the center.
We sat down with him for a working storyboarding session using FLUX.

I built something that finally gives agents the option to see and measure the physical world, reason within it, and accelerate your business with better and faster decisions.
Pulling out insights from 3D data and cross-referencing across data silos, completely automating all the steps.
From point cloud to the sent pick-up price, date, and picking the best buyer.
If you have other companies our agent should integrate with, tell me!

First battleship TCA being machined from copper. A pathfinder to iterate on ignition and injector geometry before moving to the flight chamber design. One prototype at a time.

Ready when you are 🚀 LYOBA uses storable, green propellants. No boil-off, no race against the clock. Fuelled and waiting on the ground, operational longer in orbit unlocking a wide range of missions and new capabilities for our customers.

You should have sewing in the same category in your head as welding. You probably rely on sewn connections for life safety daily, be it a seatbelt, a ratchet strap on a truck, or a lifting sling. With a home sewing machine you can easily make connections that will hold many tons.

WATCH: Tens of thousands of people chant “Russians, go home!” at tonight’s anti-Orbán concert in Budapest.
