Another title for this post could have been, “London Tech Week part 2: Please remember to walk with both feet.” This may or may not be an in-joke regarding the obviousness of certain public announcements on the London underground, but I also like it as an analogy for our experience of being an Australian startup inContinue reading “Building an Australian Space Startup”

On the ground at London Tech Week
What happens when more than 30 innovative Aussies descend on London Tech Week? Incredible possibilities, that’s what. The Startup Catalyst Mission to London Tech Week is in it’s fourth year, and this is the biggest cohort yet, with over 30 Aussie founders, investors, government personnel and others, including a dedicated female founders stream which (as hasContinue reading “On the ground at London Tech Week”

Meeting the Space ANGELS (Space Law)
On the second of May I had the pleasure of meeting Special Council Duncan Blake (from the International Aerospace Law & Policy Group), and five of his students – the ANGELS – from the University of Adelaide, to have a discussion about Exodus Space Systems and the legal considerations we expect to face in theContinue reading “Meeting the Space ANGELS (Space Law)”
An update on Space Debris
Imagine, for a moment, what an incomprehensible event it would be if you were walking down your street, minding your own business, and you were randomly struck by a bullet fired during World War II, half a world away and many decades ago. Somehow, that bullet has been flying around all this time until itContinue reading “An update on Space Debris”
To Germany and back…
Hi all! Wow what a huge couple of months it’s been. It’s hard to know where to start. When I last wrote, we were preparing for two conferences, ASAM’s (Australasian Society for Aerospace Medicine) focus colloquium on space medicine in Melbourne, and the International Astronautical Congress 2018 in Bremen, Germany. Between these two events we’veContinue reading “To Germany and back…”
An investment opportunity with a long term vision
We at Exodus have been hard at work creating the pitch materials that investors (rightly) want to see before backing a venture such as ours. That means laying out a roadmap for Exodus over the next five years, including both the milestones we expect to meet, and the costs we’ll have to cover, as weContinue reading “An investment opportunity with a long term vision”
Mike interviewed by RDA Perth
It was lovely to be invited to a conversation with Colleen Yates of RDA Perth. We spoke about the space debris problem, and how Exodus Space Systems’ technology could also help solve the medical problems encountered by astronauts living in space. Here’s the main interview: As well as an “after the show” chat: I hopeContinue reading “Mike interviewed by RDA Perth”
New DeTA Video
Hi all, We’ve now uploaded a video presentation to our YouTube channel, showing the Exodus vision for our new patent-pending invention; the Deployable Toroidal Array, and how it enables applications such as our SDEDI (Space Debris Elimination by Dry Ice) method.
DeTA is now patent pending
Our DeTA (Deployable Toroidal Array) invention has now been lodged with the Australian Patent Office as a provisional patent, which means we can finally talk about the invention, and explain how we’ll be using it to address the twin challenges of spin gravity research and space debris. First of all, here’s a look at theContinue reading “DeTA is now patent pending”
