Archimedes second stage engine full duration burn - complete ✅ (and what a thing of beauty).

The AVac (Archimedes Vacuum) engine produces 1.2x lbf of its Stage 1 variant and stands ~2.5m taller thanks to its extended nozzle optimized for the vacuum conditions of space.

Recent AVac testing included a stub skirt for the nozzle. Since full length vacuum nozzles at ground level risk flow separation and instability, stub skirts are used to anchor our engineers' analysis for how the engine will perform with the full nozzle in vacuum conditions - all critical preparation for Neutron's first flight.

Aus 140 Millionen Kilometern Entfernung–vom Interplanetary Control Room im ESOC (links) aus–hat das Team der ESA-Mission Hera die Software der Raumsonde erfolgreich aktualisiert. Damit ist sie bereit, die fernen Asteroiden Dimorphos & Didymos in diesem Herbst zu erkunden.

Our thrusters team just wrapped another successful hotfire test campaign for BT-7, a fully Blue Origin-developed thruster, from valves to thrust chamber, capable of pulsed and long-duration operation for vehicle attitude control and orbital maneuvering. These latest tests advanced performance across 80lbf & 120lbf configurations, as BT-7 matures into our first in-house hypergolic bipropellant thruster, with applications on the Artemis III mission and future lunar vehicles.

Introducing NEO’s 25 Degrees of Freedom, tendon-driven hands — nearing or surpassing human-level dexterity, strength, speed, and reliability.

For seventy years, robotics worked around the hand problem. The humanoid bet is the reverse: it lives or dies at the fingertips.

🔊 El evento atmosférico más ruidoso y con la onda expansiva de sonido más expansiva y potente jamás registrada por la instrumentación moderna.

🌋 El sonido directo y perceptible por el oído humano viajó una distancia récord de 9,400 a 10,000 kilómetros (unas 6,000 millas).

Moradores del estado de Alaska y de la región del Yukón (Canadá) reportaron haber escuchado una serie de retumbos y estallidos lejanos unas 9 o 10 horas después de la erupción. Las cámaras de seguridad de la zona registraron el audio de los impactos acústicos de forma nítida.

Para ponerlo en perspectiva, esta distancia equivale a estar en Madrid y escuchar un estruendo originado en Tokio. Con esto, el Hunga Tonga superó el récord histórico de la erupción del Krakatoa en 1883, cuyo sonido audible llegó "solo" a los 4,800 kilómetros (en la isla de Rodrigues).

En la actualidad todavía se desconoce si hubo explosiones similares en el pasado "reciente".

MIT just built an AI that can control your body.
It can move your fingers, make you play piano, even if you don’t know the song!
AI decides the hand movement. Wrist pads send signals to your muscles, so your fingers move even if you don’t know how

[Northrop Grumman @northropgrumman]

It isn’t science fiction, it’s our next mission.

Our Mission Robotic Vehicle will soon head to orbit, making space house calls to satellites running low on fuel and installing satellite “jetpacks” to extend their service lives by up to eight years.

It’s never been done before, and it’s just the start of a new chapter in in‑orbit servicing!

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

We delivered 100% mission success for VICTUS HAZE, but we’re not stopping there 🛰️ 💪

Our Pioneer spacecraft will extend operations for several months to prove out even more advanced RPO tactics and techniques for the @USSF_SSC, further redefining responsive space.

Day 139, orbit 2155 — After the pictures (available in HD on my Flickr account), I'm so happy to finally share the timelapse of the most spectacular aurora of the εpsilon mission so far!

🤩 Watching this glowing green ribbon shimmer and dance, it's easy to lose yourself completely in the magic of the moment. Turn the sound on for the full experience – the music was carefully chosen to bring you as close as possible to what I felt watching this from space 💚.

Imagine being on a spacewalk experiencing this.
The upper tendrils of Earth's aurora reach high enough that we fly right through them. I felt so small, floating between our planet & the universe, surrounded by this, as we start to permanently leave home.

Building on the success of Aeolus, the world's first satellite to measure global winds from space, we have authorised @AirbusSpace to begin development of Aeolus-2.

🌍 Developed with @eumetsat, the next-generation mission will help improve weather forecasts and strengthen climate monitoring worldwide.
