‘Mu Space' to build Thailand's first spaceship in 2021

In a bid to develop the country’s space industry, the private satellite and space technologies firm ‘mu Space’ has raised funds to build Thailand’s first spaceship and plans to start construction in 2021.

Looking similar in design to SpaceX’s Starship – the huge stainless steel “silo” that Musk hopes will reach Mars one day soon – the ship was unveiled during a soft opening event of the first spaceship factory in Thailand on 25th December, 2020.

The spaceship will be multi-purpose and can be used for ISS resupply, Earth orbit and cis-lunar missions, say the 3-year-old Thai firm.

No booster? No engines?

I wonder what they exactly told the VCs

Seems more like a stainless steel version of Dreamchaser than a fullup Starship.

Akin's Laws of Spacecraft Design #1:  Engineering is done with numbers.  Analysis without numbers is only an opinion.
