Never let MBAs driven by the bottom line take over an engineering company building airplanes and spaceships.

Engineers at the University of British Columbia have developed a filtration system that would permanently remove "forever chemicals" from drinking water. This news comes after a recent study revealed nearly 200 million Americans have been exposed to PFAS in their tap water. Dr. Madjid Mohseni, a professor at British Columbia, shares his research. 

NASA and the Houston-based aerospace company Axiom Space gave CBS News an early look at the spacesuit that astronauts will wear on the Artemis III mission — the first lunar landing of the NASA program returning astronauts to the moon. The suit was officially unveiled at an event in Houston on Wednesday.

A device developed at the University of Florida for the U.S. military provides protection from mosquitos for an extended period and requires no heat, electricity or skin contact. The controlled-release passive device was designed by Nagarajan Rajagopal, a Ph.D. candidate and Dr. Christopher Batich in UF's Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering.

A new nanoscale 3D printing material developed by Stanford University engineers may provide superior structural protection for satellites, drones, and microelectronics. An improved lightweight, a protective lattice that can absorb twice as much energy as previous materials of a similar density has been developed by engineers for nanoscale 3D printing.

A number of emerging European commercial rocket companies are vying to reach orbit first, with debut launches expected in the second half of 2023. Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA), headquartered in Bavaria, Germany, is targeting the end of 2023 for the first launch of its RFA One rocket, RFA spokesperson Jonas Kellner told Space.com at the International Astronautical Congress in Paris in September.

Today, NASA announced that two private companies — Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace — will develop the next-generation spacesuits that future astronauts will wear to conduct spacewalks and eventually traverse the surface of the Moon. It’s a bold new direction for spacesuit development at NASA, with the agency handing the job over to the private sector after years of struggling to develop a new suit of its own.

The trio of pre-fabricated platforms will have a combined surface area of 15.5 acres and support the full range of urban infrastructure—apartment buildings, offices, energy grids, and hydroponic farms.

NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity just flew farther and faster than it ever has before. The 4-pound (1.8 kilograms) Ingenuity aced its 25th flight on the Red Planet last Friday (April 8), setting new personal bests for speed and distance. "#MarsHelicopter is breaking records again! Ingenuity completed its 25th and most ambitious flight. It broke its distance and ground speed records, traveling 704 meters [2,310 feet] at 5.5 meters per second while flying for 161.3 seconds," NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California, which manages Ingenuity's mission, tweeted on Tuesday (April 12).

Australian mining company Fortescue is working to clean up its own operations by 2030, while developing green solutions it can sell to others. It's forking out into green tech through a subsidiary called Fortescue Future Industries, which has recently acquired Williams Advanced Engineering. Today, the two companies announced their first project together: an electric "infinity train" designed to move loads of iron ore without ever needing to be charged.

It's "very unlikely" the British-built Mars rover, Rosalind Franklin, will launch this year. The European Space Agency (Esa) says the project is now at risk because of the worsening diplomatic crisis over the war in Ukraine. The robot is part of a joint venture with the Russian space agency.

All core stage rocket engines on NASA's moon rocket performed as expected in a recent series of tests that followed a replacement of a faulty control mechanism in one of those engines.

Christian von Koenigsegg created the Swedish company in 1994 to produce a "world-class" sports car. It took many years of development and testing to bring the first production car CC8S, to market in 2002.

Everything appeared to go well, but team members are still waiting to get more data.

Blue Origin is unlikely to deliver two flight-ready versions of the BE-4 rocket engine to United Launch Alliance (ULA) before at least the second quarter of 2022, two sources say. This increases the possibility that the debut flight of ULA's much-anticipated new rocket, Vulcan, could slip into 2023.

Prototype design for a powerful nuclear reactor for the country’s space programme has been completed and some components have been built, according to researchers.

Putting boots on the moon is an expensive proposition. NASA's spending on its Artemis program, which aims to establish a sustainable human presence on and around the moon by the end of the decade, is projected to reach a total of $93 billion by 2025, according to a new audit by the NASA Office of Inspector General (OIG).

The F-22 Raptor was first built in 1997 and, at the time, it cost a whopping $335 million to produce. With that money, you could launch a SpaceX Falcon 9 five times.

Research and architecture studio AI Space Factory has designed a 3D-printed house for the surface of Mars – and it looks like a beehive. Dubbed the Marsha Project, the vertical dwelling was dreamt up for NASA’s 3D Printed Habitat Challenge, and has been endorsed by the agency.

SpaceX has taken a major step towards sending the Starship to orbit. On Thursday night, the private space corporation has conducted the SN20 Starship prototype's first static fire test as part of its preparation for the spacecraft's launch. According to Space, the SN20 is currently outfitted with two Raptor engines: A standard "sea-level" Raptor and a vacuum version designed to operate in space.
