On 24 July, the Surface Avatar team carried out the final and most challenging experiment of the campaign to date. Astronaut Jonny Kim, aboard the Space Station, took command of the intelligent robot team on the ground, which helped him safely explore the 'Martian landscape' and collect samples
When the NASA-ISRO SAR satellite launches into orbit on July 30, it will ping nearly all of the planet's land and ice surfaces with a form of imaging called synthetic aperture radar twice every 12 days.
Learn why growing hardware teams slow down as they scale, and how aligned workflows, parallel collaboration, and real-time design visibility restore speed and momentum.
In this episode, we explore how the mechanics of bird wings are inspiring new approaches to prevent airplanes from stalling and learn how bio-mimetic designs from nature are paving the way for innovations in aviation, enhancing stability and safety for future flights.
Taking inspiration from bird feathers, Princeton engineers have found that adding rows of flaps to a remote-controlled aircraft’s wings improves flight performance and helps prevent stalling, a condition that can jeopardize a plane’s ability to stay aloft.
A novel electromagnetic thruster passed an initial test in a specialized chamber at JPL. With further development, these thrusters could support human missions to the Red Planet.
Humanity's drive to explore has taken us across the solar system, with astronaut boots, various landers and rovers' wheels exploring the surfaces of several different planetary bodies.
In space, maintenance isn't possible, so satellites must operate reliably for their entire mission. This makes fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR) a critical requirement in satellite design.

High-altitude uncrewed aircraft can remain in the lower stratosphere for extended periods, performing a wide range of Earth observation and communications tasks – from monitoring shipping lanes and supporting disaster response to providing internet access.
The new MAESTRO by Hexagon is setting a new benchmark in CMM technology with its fast, user-friendly and fully connected design to meet the real-time demands of aerospace & defence manufacturer.
Polymer glass transition temperature (Tg) refers to the temperature at which an amorphous polymer transitions from a glassy, rigid state to a rubbery, flexible state. Understanding the polymer glass transition temperature is crucial for various industries, including engineering and manufacturing.
In recent days, rovers from Japan's Tohoku University have driven across LUNA's 'moon dust'. The robots, developed to operate and adapt using artificial intelligence (AI), have practised picking up stones, navigating independently and assembling themselves into larger robotic units.
Aerospace 3D printing has emerged as a transformative technology in the aviation and space industries, revolutionizing component design, prototyping, and manufacturing.
On-site printing of lightweight PSU fillers slashes carbon impact and supply chain complexity—Finnair now sources spare parts locally in Dubai, Singapore, and beyond.
