PyroGenesis says a DoD- and NASA-linked research lab placed its first Ti64 order only after DFARS compliance was confirmed. The gate on new AM feedstock suppliers is regulatory.

NASA says the utility feeds VIIRS snow-cover and vegetation products into machine-learning river forecasts that shape releases at Mayfield and Mossyrock. The 2026 water year tested both directions.
Reality
Chang'e-7 launches Aug. 24 with an orbiter, a rover and a six-legged hopper meant to jump into permanently dark craters. What it measures will constrain where anyone builds a base.
Reality
Europa Clipper's plasma instrument caught part of a coronal mass ejection that only an off-axis spacecraft could see, exposing a geometric gap in space-weather forecasting.
Reality
A 2027 Colorado field test will try to show that quantum gravity gradiometry can rank targets before the rigs arrive. The site, the date and the success bar are all still unnamed.
Reality
Firefly will fly Zeno Power's americium-241 heater unit to the Moon no earlier than 2028. The hard part of surface operations is shifting from arriving to staying warm.
Reality
A new preprint proposes a radio telescope on the lunar far side and argues the site's shielding from human transmitters expires around 2030, when orbiters and landers arrive to stay.
Reality
From 31 August, Ralf Busch's group will remotely melt levitated droplets of nickel-niobium alloys aboard the ISS, chasing thermophysical numbers that anchor years of alloy design.
Reality
A Science Advances paper says five ordinary human-associated microbes could stay alive in shadowed south-pole terrain. The expensive consequence is the baseline contamination survey it implies.

A 21-million-Kelvin halo at redshift 3.25 already holds a mature cluster's share of normal matter, before the epoch when such gas was expected to start warming.
Reality
Most of the missile shield is integration work on hardware that already flies. The space-based interceptors are an invention project, and the satellite counts under discussion range from 1,900 to 7,800.
Reality
Researchers at the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology model two ways to detonate a nuclear device against an asteroid found too late to nudge. The second reuses a DART-style impactor as a digger.
Reality
The recommended limit is a quarter of the lunar standard, and it exists chiefly so engineers can size filters, airlocks and suit-cleaning hardware years before a crew flies.
Reality
A fabric Vivaldi antenna sheathed in Vectran has cleared testing at JPL, letting SkyFall drag a 500-2,500 MHz radar about 15 cm above the regolith and still survive dozens of landings.
Reality
Katalyst's LINK is trying to save a NASA telescope after tumbling out of control. Northrop Grumman's servicing vehicle reaches its first geostationary customer in about a year.
Reality
Observations of magnetar 1E 1547.0-5408 point to vacuum birefringence, the effect Heisenberg predicted in the 1930s. The team calls it a possible first detection, not a confirmed one.
Reality
Push the Saguaro galaxy's arms below Webb's detection limit and what is left looks like a little red dot, according to a study published on July 29 in The Astrophysical Journal.
Reality
Astronomers report the first detection of vacuum birefringence, predicted in the 1930s. Outside commentators say the result stands or falls on one assumption about the star's geometry.
Reality
A Wisconsin group reports a planet that is mostly rock where theory expects a gas envelope. Its own authors say astronomers cannot finish the composition argument alone.
Reality
NASA's FALCON experiment fixed a spacecraft's position by matching star-tracker images against an onboard catalog of 20,000 objects, and corrected 200 of their orbits in three days.
Reality
A US-led team reads up to 80% X-ray polarization from magnetar 1E 1547.0-5408 as QED vacuum birefringence. An Italian-led group says alternative explanations are not excluded.
Reality
Laser ranging to LARES-2 and LAGEOS has pinned frame dragging to roughly one part in a thousand, an order of magnitude better than earlier Solar System tests.
Reality
JAXA showed the MMX spacecraft to reporters ahead of a launch it will only place in "the coming months". China's Tianwen-3 is aiming to bring Mars material back around 2031, possibly sooner.
Reality
China has put a wind-powered data center in the East China Sea. The 66-degree water temperature threshold its cooling case rests on was already breached across the US East Coast in August.
Reality
An MIT-led team reports in Nature that the object radiates 100 billion times more than any star can, and argues the early universe's "little red dots" are their own class of object.
Reality
The mission's real payload is an autonomy stack. Lunar ice prospecting will not scale if every turn has to be approved from 239,000 miles away.
Reality
NASA advertises lead times of up to 12 hours. The published test average is 9.24, and the team says the model is not ready for operational forecasting.
Reality
The company says a modified aero gas turbine ran on 100% hydrogen from take-off to landing. Storage, fuel delivery, airframe integration and infrastructure remain unsolved.
