26 September 2022, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. (GA-ASI) is working with long-time collaborator Conflux Technology on the design and manufacture of a new Fuel Oil Heat Exchanger (FOHE) for the MQ-9B. GA-ASI is...
Humankind launched the first orbital satellite in October 1957. Sixty-five years later, more than 5,000 satellites are in service, with roughly half of them placed into low-Earth orbit (LEO) over the past two years....
MIT scientists have created the first completely digitally manufactured plasma sensors for orbiting spacecraft. These plasma sensors, also known as retarding potential analyzers (RPAs), are used by satellites to determine the chemical composition and...
May 10, 2022, EOS sister company AMCM completed the print of the world’s largest aerospike rocket engine. It was engineered completely in Hyperganic Core using advanced software algorithms and has never seen a single...
NASA innovators recently developed a new metal alloy using a 3D printing process that dramatically improves the strength and durability of the components and parts used in aviation and space exploration, resulting in better...
American aerospace company Launcher has announced Solukon as its preferred supplier for powder removal systems. Within the scope of the partnership, Launcher will utilize Solukon’s machine, the SFM-AT1000-S, for the postprocessing of extraordinary large...
When looking at the landscape of manufacturing methods, there are clear overarching reasons to choose one over another. Taking this broad survey of different industries and manufacturing methods, however, it can obscure the small...
The electrical thruster mechanism (ETHM) was developed by Thales Alenia Space for its all-electric Spacebus Neo platforms used for geostationary communications satellites. It steers the electric thrusters in two axes to provide orbital positioning...
