Mach9 raises $34M after pivoting to AI CAD software
The startup initially set out to build better, faster, and cheaper surveying hardware in 2021.
NASA Successfully Tests CASALS Airborne Prototype to Create Continuous 3D Maps of Earth’s Surface
From orbit, today’s space-based laser instruments measure Earth’s forests and terrain one narrow line at a time. Between those lines are enormous gaps that include millions of acres of land scientists never directly measure. NASA’s CASALS instrument will blend machine learning with an ultra-compact lidar instrument to adaptively ‘sweep’ large swaths of Earth’s surface. This […]
NASA Engineers Streamline Rocket Vibration and Shock Analysis Using New Commercial Software Workflow
Rockets vibrate, shake, and flex intensely as they climb into space, and spacecraft packed with delicate scientific instruments must survive those forces. Before any rocket leaves the ground, NASA engineers work to predict how those stresses will affect every part of a spacecraft. To do that, engineers in the Dynamic Environments Group with NASA’s Launch […]
Rocket Lab pushes 1st launch of next-gen Neutron rocket to 2027
Rocket Lab has delayed the debut of its powerful, partially reusable Neutron launcher to 2027 due to a manufacturing issue.
Rocket Lab Delays Neutron Rocket Launch to 2027 Following Manufacturing Issues With Carbon Composites
Rocket Lab announced the Neutron rocket in 2021, aiming for a first flight in 2024.
SpaceX returns the first surviving Starship upper stage to its South Texas facility for engineering evaluation.
After surviving its splashdown and a grueling journey at sea, SpaceX's Ship 40 has returned to Starbase, where engineers will study the first recovered Starship upper stage for clues to future reusability.
NASA Tasks L3Harris Technologies With Building Final Test Telescope for the LISA Gravitational Wave Mission
NASA has taken the next step in the process of developing a new all-glass telescope for the LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) mission, a space observatory designed to detect ripples in space-time called gravitational waves. L3Harris Technologies will design, assemble, and integrate the new telescope for NASA. Called the Engineering Test Unit, this contribution represents […]
Detroit Manufacturing Marketplace Startup Bloom Secures $3.6 Million in Seed Funding Led by SNAK Venture Partners
The Detroit startup has widened its scope beyond mobility to help drone and robotics companies find U.S. based manufacturers, shippers, and more.
Ex-Ramp Engineers Raise $20M Series A Led by CRV for Creative Platform Melius
The startup crossed over $1 million in anualized revenue within two months of its post-pivot launch.
Valor, Atreides, and Sequoia back AI startup Flow Engineering at $750M valuation

Under the Microscope: NASA-Made Material for Moon Manufacturing
Photos taken using a microscope reveal the colorful, kaleidoscope-like crystal structure of a new NASA-made material that could be used for manufacturing during future space missions. Developed at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, the material could be created directly on the Moon or Mars, allowing NASA to pack fewer supplies — saving weight and […]
