Supercool propulsion for future hydrogen-powered flight!
Cryoprop will fast-track the evolution of cryogenic superconducting propulsion systems, proven vital for the high-power electrification of future hydrogen-powered aircraft like #ZEROe.

It's a story 4.5-billion years in the making. See what's next for the asteroid samples returned today by #OSIRISREx.

The capsule is a blunt-nosed cone, like an upside-down cupcake, is approximately an arm's-width across, and is charred from reentry from space. It sits on desert scrub land dotted by sparse green vegetation. Stark mountains rise along the horizon. Credit: NASA/Keegan Barber

One cloud known to indicate a stable atmosphere, but has also been blamed for running fires, is the Lenticular cloud. An indicator of strong general winds in the upper atmosphere, these #clouds have been known to cause fires to increase speed & spread faster than anticipated.
