The Blue Origin National Team, which includes Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Draper, was selected by NASA to begin to develop the Artemis Human Landing System. Existing and in development, technologies provide the head start needed to meet NASA’s goal of landing at the South Pole of the Moon. Lockheed Martin’s Ascent Element is based on Orion; Northrop Grumman’s Transfer Element is based on Cygnus; and Blue Origin’s Descent Element is based on the Blue Moon lander and BE-7 engine, which has been in development for several years.
An IBM scientist has taken it upon himself to build a low-cost microscope after being disappointed with image quality results using his lab’s commercial device. The DIY microscope, which just about anyone can recreate at home, costs just $300 and is made of LEGO bricks, a Raspberry Pi computer, an 8MP Raspberry Pi camera and some 3D printed components.
Heraeus AMLOY, a specialist in amorphous metals, has partnered with machine manufacturing company TRUMPF to advance the 3D printing of amorphous metals. The group of materials, also known as metallic glasses, demonstrate exceptional strength (twice as strong as steel) but with less weight and more elasticity. Through their collaboration, the companies aim to establish additive manufacturing as a standard production process for amorphous metals.
As Boeing lays off 16,000 employees, the firm’s President and CEO Dave Calhoun issued a letter addressing aerospace market realities. The COVID-19-induced expected dramatic drop in airline travel, with US passenger volumes down 95%, is leading to a dramatic drop in aircraft and aircraft services demand.
