Space. The final frontier, the first step in a journey (a new beginning), or a horrifying void matched only by your deep fear of the ocean? Whatever your feelings on space, technology has been steadily pushing forwards to take exploration further, faster, and foodier than ever before.

A European team of scientists have bounced a LoRa (long range) message off the Moon. The feat has reported it set a record of 730,360km for the furthest distance a LoRa message has ever travelled.

The market for urban air mobility (UAM) is attracting increased investment. The development and certification of a UAM aircraft will cost around $2 billion. For newcomers to the sector, to raise such funds means it is inevitable that much of their activity must be in the public eye.

Nanoramic, an energy storage and advanced materials company, announced that it has received a substantial investment from Fortistar, a privately-owned investment firm that provides capital to build, grow, and manage companies that address complex sustainability challenges. Nanoramic has raised over $75m to date, a sum that will enable the company to further develop and commercialise Neocarbonix, its innovative nanocarbon electrode technology.

GaN Systems has shared the latest space applications and innovations enabled by gallium nitride (GaN) power semiconductors.

The global aerospace industry has been delivering innovative and groundbreaking manufacturing technologies for decades. The demand for machined components has increased exponentially over the years owing to the expansion of technological horizons. ByPeter Jacobs, Senior Director of Marketing at CNC Masters

C&K has entered into an agreement to acquire E.I.S. Electronics, an industry specialist in the design and manufacture of Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems (EWIS) for avionics, defence and aerospace applications.

Electraflyer has announced that it has passed crossover, meaning it now sells more battery-electric aircraft than polluting ones. Pipistrel sold over 100 battery-electric aircraft last year as they take over from its traditional offerings. Bye Aerospace does not even make conventional aircraft. With its Tesla-style approach, its order book exceeds 720 battery-electric aircraft evenly split between two and four-seaters.

You could be forgiven for assuming that the space industry is almost entirely male dominated because in the very early days of space exploration, that was mostly true. However, as early as 1963, Russian cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova became the first of many women in space as part of the Vostok 6 mission. Exactly two decades later, in 1983, Sally Ride flew aboard the Space Shuttle STS-7, becoming the first American female in space. In fact, women...
