Astronauts Chris Cassidy and Bob Behnken got the view of a lifetime when they stepped outside the space station to replace the outpost’s old solar array batteries. The star of that view was Endeavour, the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft that delivered Behnken and his fellow NASA astronaut Doug Hurley to the station May 30 on their Demo-2 mission.
Dr. Charles Forsberg observes technological overlap between Molten-Salt Reactor (fission) development and Fusion Reactors due to manufacturing breakthrough of Rare-Earth Barium Copper Oxide (REBCO) Superconducting Magnets onto steel tape.
REBCO superconducting tape enables doubling magnetic fields.

Engineers are turning to generative design algorithms to build components for NASA’s next-generation space suit—the first major update in decades.
Cheaper modules brought solar plants into the energy mainstream. Longer operating lives are making them better investments.
