Cheers! Thank you! https://orbitalindex.com/ is an amazing resource. https://jatan.space/ is another that I follow. Payload Research newsletter rocks too: https://mailchi.mp/payloadresearch/bezos-leaves-earth?e=e515... There's even a Slack bot to be notified of launches (most of which you don't hear about on the news): https://groundcontrolbot.space/

I run Payload Space. We are about to transition from a weekly newsletter to a media company. We hope to solve the problem that there is no real media coverage of the business and policy of space.

Cool service.

Laura, congratulations. Does it support acronyms? :) Anyone interested should sign up for the changelog emails. It's only 1-2 emails a month and shows how much progress Laura and her team are making.

Lol, thanks Pat. I keep telling the team that we won't allow acronyms. That feature is 100% on the list. Currently they are allowed, however future revisions might not allow acronyms, or might force you to define them. Certainly keep your eyes peeled for this new *feature*.

Excited to be using this product for ensuring clearly documented and easy to make test procedures for our propulsion testing, and eventually for our satellite operations. Keep up the good work Epsilon3 and I look forward to becoming a hardcore power user!

Wow. This is enormously impressive. I currently work for a small startup based out of Denmark in the renewable energies space (wind turbines) developing web based tools to assist in our ML operations. With a lifelong obsession with cosmology and astronomy, and perhaps even more applicably relevant; our own human advancement to and into the stars, I have increasingly become more and more inclined to the notion of furt…

Thank you for the kind words and great questions.

We have been very thoughtful to build as flexible a framework as possible to support all those various use cases you said (not only in our user interface but also our API). We want to give end-users across the continuum of use cases the tools they need to be able to make Epsilon3 as useful for them as possible.

We have a ton of ideas on applying ML on our side for exactly those use cases you described (metrics, analysis, reporting) but also for anomaly detection, error handling/risk reduction, and continuous improvement.

We have our job openings posted at https://angel.co/epsilon3/. We're always on the lookout for strong full-stack software engineers.

Thanks, we just built a new site and hiring some journalists. The MailChimp was just MVP to see if people cared about space news (which they clearly do).

Expect a much more professional site in the coming weeks.

First, congrats on launching. Second, "AWS GovCloud for ITAR compliance," can the USG access my data (EU company) then?

Thanks! No, the US Government can't access your data. Only you can. GovCloud is just a special portion of AWS that has extra security controls so that US companies are confident that all their data is housed in US servers and properly treated according to ITAR regulations. It's totally fine for companies outside the US to use and doesn't give the government any access. We also support on-premises deployments if that'…

I’m building up a space related non-profit (space telescopes) and I’m not in the USA.

So ITAR is a poison, it is great you have an ITAR Free option, do you have any plans to host in other AWS regions long term? And how much more is on-premises likely to cost me?
