NASA, Boeing Advance Truss-Braced Wing Research in TestNASA and Boeing have completed wind tunnel testing to study an innovative advanced aircraft design intended to improve aerodynamic efficiency. A truss-braced wing configuration, involving a long, thin wing with aerodynamically shaped structural supports, has the potential to reduce fuel and operational costs for future airliners, which is why NASA has collaborated with Boeing to […]
A Falcon 9 upper stage will strike the Moon in AugustThe object will be traveling at 2.43 km a second, or 5,400 mph, upon impact.
NASA Connects Little Red Dots with Chandra, WebbA newly discovered object may be a key to unlocking the true nature of a mysterious class of sources that astronomers have found in the early universe in recent years. A “X-ray dot” found by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory could explain what the hundreds or potentially thousands of these objects are. A paper describing the […]
Six Years of Curiosity’s Wheels on the MoveDescription NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover used its right navigation camera — one of two on the rover’s mast, or head — to capture the images in this timelapse, which spans six years of driving. The images were snapped between Jan. 2, 2020, and March 8, 2026 (the 2,633rd and 4,830th Martian day, or sol, of […]
NASA’s Perseverance, Curiosity Panoramas Capture Two Sides of MarsNASA’s Curiosity and Perseverance rovers have captured two 360-degree landscapes that highlight how the missions are revealing details of the Red Planet’s formation, watery past, and potential for life. Located 2,345 miles (3,775 kilometers) apart from each other on Mars — about the distance from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. — both rovers are exploring […]
NASA Celebrates Decade of University Innovation in AeronauticsFor 10 years, a NASA initiative has helped the agency produce breakthrough aeronautical innovations while fostering the aviation workforce of tomorrow – and the University Leadership Initiative (ULI) is still flying high, making awards with the potential to change 21st century air travel. Through ULI, NASA has supported more than 1,100 students at 100 schools, allowing them […]
NASA Kennedy Prepares Facility for Roman Space Telescope ArrivalPreparations are underway for launch of NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope as soon as early September on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Roman space telescope will provide deep, panoramic views of the cosmos, generating never-before-seen pictures that will revolutionize our understanding of […]
Latvia and Jordan Join Artemis AccordsLatvia and Jordan joined the Artemis Accords this week, bringing to 63 the number of countries that have adopted the U.S.-led set of principles for responsible behavior on the surface […]
Liquid Lifeline: NASA Tech Could Create IV Fluid In SpaceOn every crewed mission, NASA packs pouches of a potentially life-saving liquid in its cargo, known as IV (or intravenous) fluid. A simple mix of sodium chloride and purified water, it can treat up to 30% of medical conditions in flight, resolving things like dehydration, burns, and more. Crewed missions beyond low Earth orbit into […]

NASA, Organ Sharing Network UNOS to Study Faster Organ TransportEvery second counts in the life-saving world of medical transplants. To help address that urgency, NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, is teaming up with the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) to explore faster, more reliable ways to transport donor organs using advanced aviation technologies. NASA Langley and UNOS will collaborate under a new Space Act Agreement announced […]
Live coverage: SpaceX to launch final GPS III satellite for the U.S. Space ForceThis is the final spacecraft of this generation of precision, navigation, and timing satellites before the U.S. Space Force shifts to launching GPS IIIF satellites. Liftoff from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled during a 15-minute launch window opens at 2:53 a.m. EDT (0653 UTC).
Wheels Up for X-59NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft flies over the Mojave Desert in California in this April 14, 2026, image. The transition to flying with wheels up is a key milestone and an important step in the experimental aircraft’s test campaign. The X-59 has made its highest and fastest flights so far, expanding its operational range […]
Show HN: Auxx.ai – Customer Support CRM (Mix of Attio and N8n)Hey HN! Markus here. I have been building a Customer Support CRM for the last 12 months to help my dad's business.He was drowning in support messages (dealing with returns, product questions, sales, etc) and didn’t have a good way to organize and attack them, often forgetting to respond.We tried attio, freshworks, n8n for some automations. I liked n8n a lot but I didn’t want to leave to another app to view messages and customer info. Tried to build bridges via Google Sheets and Airtable and then went deep down the rabbit hole and tried building my own solution.At that time I hadn’t programmed in 10 years. I stopped pretty much when Backbone.js and underscore became popular and went on to work in commercial concrete, building many of the high rises in San Francisco and Downtown Los Angeles (including the one with lots of graffiti on it).The goal of the app is to automate as much of customer support as possible, from triage to drafting responses to keeping track of history.Features inclu
