COPV Damage Tolerance Life Demonstration GuidelinesIMAGE
nasa.gov• Mar 10, 2026• 1 min read
COPV Damage Tolerance Life Demonstration GuidelinesThe NESC has invested significant time and resources to better understand composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPV) performance and more importantly, how these complex, high-pressure storage systems can fail. These vessels, which store high pressure propulsion and life-support system fluids on launch vehicles and spacecraft, are ubiquitous at NASA, and failures have the potential to be catastrophic. This year the […]

Developing Robust Electronics That Can Withstand Harsh Conditions on Cold Planetary BodiesA NASA-sponsored team has developed electronics that can operate reliably in the harsh radiation and temperature conditions found on distant planetary bodies like Europa, an ocean world orbiting Jupiter. Not only could this new technology enable autonomous sensors and robotic exploration of distant ocean worlds, it could also support NASA’s goal to establish human outposts on the Moon and Mars by enabling electronic systems to function in those cold regions with reduced heating requirements.

Starliner and Artemis: commercial label vs. commercial disciplineNASA’s Commercial Crew Program was supposed to be the template: services-based procurement, private ownership of hardware and competition between providers. Yet NASA has now formally designated Boeing’s 2024 Starliner crewed test flight as a Type A mishap — its most serious category — and leadership has been explicit that the most troubling failure was not […] The post Starliner and Artemis: commercial label vs. commercial discipline appeared first on SpaceNews.

GNSS resilience is an economic and security priorityModern society has become profoundly reliant on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). These systems support aviation safety, emergency services, finance, communications, energy networks and an expanding array of autonomous and industrial systems. Yet despite this reliance, GNSS remains inherently fragile: low‑power signals transmitted from medium Earth orbit are surprisingly easy to degrade, and the consequences […] The post GNSS resilience is an economic and security priority appeared first on SpaceNews.

My little SaaS made $239 in 7 days (Story)IMAGE

My little SaaS made $239 in 7 days (Story)Hey HN,This is the post I’ve been waiting 5 months to write.I launched my very first real SaaS product last month, a Chrome extension called ScreenSmooth that automatically adds smart zoom-ins and buttery-smooth cursor animations to any screen recording.Why I built it:Every single time I needed to record a product demo, tutorial, onboarding video, or bug report, I got frustrated. Loom, Screenity, Kap, etc. were all missing the one thing that makes videos actually look professional: automatic, natural-looking zooms + smooth cursor movement. I was spending hours editing in CapCut after every recording. So I decided to fix it myself.The build journey (the real stuff):- I Started January 2025 as a complete beginner with Chrome extension APIs.- Learned canvas manipulation, WebRTC screen capture, mouse-path smoothing algorithms, and AI-based action detection from scratch.- Biggest technical challenge: making the auto-zoom feel human instead of robotic. I rewrote the easing + timing logic 4 d

Changing the Rules Mid-Race - How Artemis Lets Washington Redefine "Winning" at the Moon - Part 4Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 09, 2026 In classic Washington style, the United States has found a way to keep 'winning' the new Moon race even as its flagship program slips, bloats and mutates. With the latest Artemis overhaul, NASA isn't just re-planning a mission sequence - it's helping Trump's America quietly rewrite the rules of the game so that almost any outcome can be spun as victory.

Course Correction or Controlled Crash? Inside NASA's Artemis Overhaul - Part 1Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 09, 2026 NASA says it has finally found the 'back to basics' recipe to get Americans back on the Moon by 2028. A new intermediate mission, standardized hardware, a faster launch cadence: on paper, the Artemis overhaul looks like a sober course correction after years of drift. Look a little closer, though, and the same changes read like a managed soft-landing for a program that is structurally broken and
