French 3D printing service bureau Sculpteo has joined the 3D Prod / Platex group. The move brings together two complementary players to form what they describe as a new industrial-scale AM offering in Europe, covering everything from rapid prototyping to mid- and...
Imaginez pouvoir fabriquer des pièces métalliques complexes avec la même fluidité et rapidité que l’on écrit du code logiciel. C’est le rêve audacieux que poursuit Freeform, une startup qui vient de franchir une étape majeure dans cette quête...
Boron-modified phenolic resin composites are critical aerospace thermal protection materials due to their ability to form boron-containing ceramic layers during ablation, which provides exceptional ablation resistance. This article systematically reviews recent...
The next generation of space-based gravitational wave observatories, such as LISA, TianQin, and Taiji, requires ultra-precise drag-free control and therefore micro-propulsion systems with thrust noise below 0.1μN/√Hz. This paper presents the design and experimental...
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has completed an in-orbit demonstration of its AI-based object detection system AIRIS, which identified ships from satellite imagery using a next-generation space-grade microprocessor unit. The AIRIS system, short for Artificial...
