SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Momentus (http://www.momentus.space), provider of in-space transportation services for satellites, today announced a hosting service for customer payloads, providing a platform for in-space demonstrations at a fraction of the cost of designing, building, launching and operating a dedicated smallsat.

Beginning in June of 2021 excess capacity will be made available to hosted payload customers on Momentus’ vehicles for customers’ technology demonstrations, qualifications or short-term experiments. These missions will be self-contained and can be hosted by our Vigoride transfer vehicle from the end of the shuttle logistics mission, to the end of its mission life prior to deorbiting. Two service models are available: Charter and Shuttle Service. The Charter Service will allow payloads to be the sole customer onboard with maximum lifespan, power and data download capacity attributed to the single customer. In the Shuttle Service model, the hosted payload will be a rideshare along with other payloads hosted or deployed from the Vigoride transfer vehicle.

To view full specifications for Hosted Payloads visit https://momentus.docsend.com/view/yfang5zijksh843f

The in-Space collaborative/sharing economy has disruptive ramifications for the industry. By lowering the barriers to entry and increasing the launch cadence, access to space becomes widely affordable for the masses including universities, startups, entrepreneurs and governments. This Satellite-as-a-Service business model sees Momentus providing «white glove» service, with the customer being responsible to furnish the payload. The scientific applications alone raised an industry-wide proof of concept because of the rising need from scientists and environmentalists to monitor climate change. For example, now research institutes can deploy new solar cell technologies, large unfurlable antennas and payloads requiring up to 1 kW of power or up to 300 kg of mass without having to worry about building their own satellite or operating it on orbit.

As a SpaceX rideshare partner, Momentus is manifested on rides to Sun-synchronous and mid-inclined low Earth orbits, where Vigoride will be deployed to access custom deployment altitudes and orbits in space.

Momentus is a Space Transportation and Space Logistics company and a graduate of the prestigious Y Combinator program based in Silicon Valley. Momentus employs new and proprietary technologies, including water plasma propulsion to enable revolutionary low-cost orbital shuttle and charter services. Momentus has already demonstrated its core technology in space and is currently preparing for its next two customer test missions starting later this year.

About Momentus
Momentus is the first company providing in-space transportation services for satellites. The company was founded in 2017 in Santa Clara, CA. Momentus designs and builds transfer vehicles propelled by proprietary water plasma thrusters. The vehicles ferry satellites to a custom orbit after they are delivered by conventional rockets to their initial orbit. Momentus is a 70 person team growing rapidly.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The developers of Glances, the no-code solution that unifies multiple apps with a simplified customer view, have officially announced a partnership with the team at DreamFactory, experts in creating secure APIs without code and leading integration strategies.

Working together, Glances and DreamFactory will help businesses seamlessly connect even more of their applications – even out-of-date and hard-to-access internal systems – to achieve the time-saving benefits of a real-time, single view of customer data. The more systems and software businesses can connect with the help of DreamFactory REST APIs, the more powerful Glances will be in helping professionals that work in CRMs, support systems, marketing platforms, and other necessary apps stay in their program of choice, but still gain access to a holistic view of each customer.

Partnership benefits will include the ability to:

• Enable customers to now connect their internal systems
• Grow Glances reach so it is compatible across more platforms
• Save time and boost productivity with more connected software and systems
• Give DreamFactory customers more value out of creating secure APIs
• Get covered with 16 different database engines supported
• Create instant APIs without the need for any code

«Businesses want to easily access a single, more complete view of their customer data. That is hard and extremely expensive to truly do if your data lives in internal or outdated applications that do not have a modern, publicly available API. DreamFactory changes everything. Now our customers can add an API to their systems within minutes, using zero lines of code, and connect them to Glances to achieve the holy grail of a single customer view,» said Jason Eggers, co-founder and CEO of Glances.

An Application Programming Interface (API) defines certain interactions between software programs, such as specific calls or requests for data. According to Forrester* research, «APIs are critical for digital transformation. Beyond their architectural role in app integration, APIs enable new business strategies, rapid business change, broad ecosystem connectivity, and world-class customer engagement.»

After years of helping companies manage their data, DreamFactory saw a desperate need for an affordable solution that took the complexities out of hard-to-master and inconsistent APIs.

«We have seen for years the struggles, high cost, and increasing business risk around building APIs on
top of existing applications. DreamFactory is the optimal no-code solution to instantly build secure APIs, completely eliminating that risk. With the ability to spin up an API for internal applications in just minutes and layer granular security controls, DreamFactory brings even more value to customers as they are then able to leverage world-class, API-based tools such as Glances,» noted Jason, CTO and Chief Architect of DreamFactory.

Glances was created to be a user-friendly standout in the Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) industry because it unifies customer data from numerous applications without the need for any coding, data syncing, or scheduling jobs. DreamFactory is the perfect partner because it enables Glances to expand its reach to even more systems – specifically those that were formally internal only, archaic, or did not have a public API to access.

«Providing a no-code solution to integrations is extremely important to the success of any Customer Data Platform (CDP) project. Having a singular source of truth is more important than ever. However, the cost and time investment has always been too out of reach for the vast majority of businesses out there. We built Glances to bring what was once only attainable by enterprise companies to the masses. DreamFactory takes that to a whole new level by making any internal application available to plug-and-play with no-code needed, just like for Glances. Within minutes you can have a true CDP at your fingertips,» said Chad Hutchins, co-founder and CTO of Glances.

Ultimately, Glances works to empower users with immediate access to the most updated customer information, exactly when and where they need it. DreamFactory helps expand the options of connected apps for Glances, so users can view their crucial customer data without tab switching, searching, and clicking around to find it. New users to Glances can take advantage of its DreamFactory partnership by requesting APIs to be built for any company system that is currently not compatible.

PHOENIX, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — This summer, find out the real environmental cost of what’s on your plate. In Takeout: The Documentary, Emmy-nominated filmmaker Michal Siewierski has embarked on an audacious journey to expose the real reasons behind the Amazon forest fires and the alarming rate of deforestation in Brazil, the world’s largest exporter of beef. Takeout is now available on Amazon and iTunes.

«Mainstream media coverage of the catastrophic destruction of the Amazon doesn’t paint the full picture,» said Siewierski. «With Takeout, I wanted to show how the choices we make about what we eat and consume thousands of miles away directly impact the rainforest.»

The film — produced along with music icon and activist, Moby, and entrepreneur and activist Peter Eastwood — highlights how corporate greed, global food consumption, and political corruption create conditions that are irreparably harming our ecosystem.

«As a longtime advocate for a vegan lifestyle, I know the ethical consequences of meat consumption. I was shocked by what we learned during the production of Takeout,» said Moby. «This is a must-watch for anyone who is passionate about combating corruption.»

Takeout features interviews with renowned scientists, politicians, and activists who weave a complex narrative that exposes the bad actors conspiring to line their pockets at the expense of our ecosystem.

Distributed by Gravitas Ventures, the documentary is available on iTunes and Amazon. For more information, please visit http://www.takeoutdocumentary.com.
