3D printing in space and more: the latest NOVA newsletter is out!
Manufacturing in microgravity
Take a peek behind the scenes inside the ISS, where the first metal part to be 3D-printed in space is complete. The printer was built by Airbus and our partners. Read more .
Preparing the ground for #ZEROe
Hydrogen flight needs a ground ecosystem, within airports and beyond. What could it look like? Watch episode 4 of our Countdown to #ZEROe Series or read more .
The H160M takes shape
The military version of the #H160, Airbus Helicopters ’ latest rotorcraft, has entered assembly. First flight is planned for 2025, and the French armed forces are an important customer. Read more .

2 个月I’ve always thought that 3D metal printing in space would possibly be superior to results on Earth;due to the availability of zero oxygen environment and very low temperature nearby. Look forward to seeing further developments.

2 个月In Hydrogen ecosystem 2 Major concerns are their 1. The biggest problem currently is production of GREEN hydrogen. If the H2 produced is not green then it does not make sense. 2. The cost of green H2 should be less than the existing fuel type(non-renewable source) else end customers do not care much. Car and train manufactures already have hydrogen fuel cell tech and are using it, India plans to test deploy H2 powered train from 2024 https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/renewable/indian-railways-to-launch-first-hydrogen-train-this-year-aims-for-50-by-2047/112043034 Using 3D printers Now required new parts can be manufactured in space only if we have raw materials instead of sending multiple rockets to space to ISS. Next - Source Raw materials from Moon and existing Debris (machines required for purification, separation and amalgamation of of RAW materials will be initial required to be send from Earth). After this all components can be #3D printed in #space for further requirements from screw to complex machines .
