There has been an unmistakable shift in the character of warfare amid the Russia-Ukraine war, with technological advances driving the use of drones and electronic warfare on the battlefield on both sides.

Xenics has announced its collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR.de) for NASA/JPL's highly anticipated VERITAS mission and ESA’s EnVision mission.

Deep space exploration has captured the imagination for generations, driven by humanity’s desire to understand the origins of the Universe. It’s a journey of constant discovery and inspiration for Vicor’s Italy-based customer, Microgate, whose team of engineers invented motor control systems for massive earth-based telescopes using Vicor’s power solution. 

Space Forge, specialists in space-based advanced materials manufacturing and return technology, has been awarded a licence from the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to launch ForgeStar-1 – its in-orbit manufacturing satellite.

The UK’s only commercial seaplane service has committed to leading the way in a new generation of zero-emission, electrically powered passenger carrying aircraft.

For decades, second-stage rockets have been doomed to a one-way journey. After delivering their payloads into orbit, these high-tech, high-cost components either burn up on reentry or drift aimlessly through space as debris. But what if they could be reused—either for future launches or for completing additional missions in orbit? While SpaceX has led the charge in recovering and reusing first-stage boosters, second-stage rockets remai...

Alpha Data releases the ADM-VB630, a radiation-tolerant reference design for the AMD Versal AI Edge XQRVE2302 adaptive SoC engineered for space-grade design, development, and deployment.

The future of urban mobility is unfolding before our eyes, with Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft set to redefine transportation.

Cinch Connectivity Solutions now offers its first commercial, off-the-shelf space-grade cable assemblies. Manufactured in the USA, the Semflex Space Qualified Cable Assemblies are constructed with rugged stainless steel to support a wide range of communication applications in harsh environments.

In partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA), EnSilica will design and develop a key silicon component to enable next-generation resilient multi-band Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) capabilities. These are vital to ensuring the world’s critical infrastructure and services remain robust and secure in the face of evolving global threats.
