Nominate spaceship designs for Astroxia Spaceship Awards

The designs you nominate, may be from a sci-fi film/form of media released in the last 365 days, or a spaceship design you made in the last 365 days.

You may also nominate a fellow person, with their permission.

To submit a design, please reply with a link to the spaceship, with the name of it.

These designs will be selected to be decided on, for the Astroxia Spaceship Awards (will be a YouTube video)

WYR live on Mars or live in an orbiting space city with 1000 other people

This is assuming radiation shielding is dealt with, and in the space city, through centrifugal force, you are at 0.5G, in an orbit around the earth at 10000 kilometers high.

[WIP] My updated ship design (2nd image is my previous design)

What I updated:

I added the engine types to the primary and secondary engines (tertiary engines are on the bottom for landings and quick "upwards" motion).

I also added defence systems from large or small asteroids/comets through lasers and magnetic induction shielding systems. This is very crucial at 10% the speed of light (max speed of ship)

Feedback:

I am looking for any feedback; of what else I can add to my final main paper design, before I move onto using Libre CAD on my uConsole. Anything I've missed, etc, would be very useful.

Feel free to ask any questions, but as this is my first spaceship design, I will try to answer to the best of my abilities.

Keep in mind that this ship would be like one of the first 100 interstellar human travel ships, but this one is used for permanent residence of the inhabitants. For a sense of scale it is 16 meters length and 9 meters width, with a probable depth of 6-8 meters (depends if your in cockpit or main area)

Spacecraft Recovery Mechanisms Explained! Astrox Radio EP24

Spent a lot of time on this podcast episode, so I decided to share it here, as 2 out of the five recovery mechanisms discussed related to SpaceX.

My first spaceship design (work in progress)

All feedback accepted.

Feel free to ask any questions (keep in mind that I am new to spaceship designing)

Astralixi is FOSS: Help needed

Hey everyone!

So as you all already know, AstralixiOS is now open source and all the files you need to build it into a .img are up and available.

I really need some help though. Every time I build it, it just boots into a black screen and I honestly have no idea why. I’ve been stuck on it for a while now and I think some fresh eyes would really help. If anyone could try building it themselves or has seen this kind of issue before, please let me know what you find.

Any help at all is seriously appreciated, even if it’s just pointing me in the right direction. Hopefully we can get it to actually boot properly together!

Thanks heaps (:

Astralixi OS test on Physical Hardware failed!

I made a new .img using new instructions (instructions were made by claude, but with a lot more content from previous attempts, and help from people on ClockworkPi forums).

I flashed it to a spare micro-sd card, and when I tried booting it up on the uConsole, the screen just stayed black.

The failed image is available as a un-tested release on my github, linked to this post.

Any help would be deeply appreciated, and to convince you further, once a working, pre-release comes out, Astralixi OS will be open source!

So if you want to contribute to FOSS, please help.

Hey everyone,

​I’ve been working on a project called Astralixi OS. It’s a TUI-based operating system built for ARM 64-bit and 32-bit devices. Unlike a lot of hobbyist projects, I'm building this to be a legitimate daily driver, but specifically for people who are obsessed with space and rockets.

​The goal is to have a completely terminal-based workflow that keeps you connected to what's happening related off-planet while you get your actual work done.

​It’s still in development, but I’m trying to make sure it’s not just "aesthetic" and actually has the tools we’d use daily. Right now I’m planning to bake in stuff like:

​Integrated star charts and orbital mechanics calculators.

​Real-time telemetry feeds for active missions (SpaceX, NASA, ESA, etc).

​A dedicated TUI dashboard for satellite tracking.

​Lightweight dev tools and system monitoring that fit the theme.

​Since this is for space enthusiasts, I wanted to ask this community: if you were going to use a TUI OS every day, what "space-specific" features or integrations would actually make it a permanent switch for you?

​NGL, I want this to feel like you're literally running a mission control station from your Pi or handheld. Let me know what you think is missing or what would be cool to see.

Hey guys, I finally have a .img for Astralixi OS, but I’m stuck because I can’t actually test it yet.

USB booting isn't working at all for me. I tried to use a VM instead, but it just breaks. It either opens a window that stays black and pins my CPU at 100%, or it just does nothing while the CPU goes crazy. I tried doing a no-graphics boot too, and that sometimes works for a bit-it lists a bunch of stuff in the terminal, but then it just freezes 7 seconds in while it's "looking for" something.

Since I can't get it to actually boot on my setup, I was wondering if you guys could help? If anyone knows how to fix this or wants to try testing the image to see if it works for you, let me know!

I am excited to announce that Astralixi OS Pre-release for the uConsole will be releasing hopefully within a week! I have a working binary of the OS now, and all I have left to do, is integrate it with the kernel to run at init, and package it into a .img.
