| | | New Glenn Launches NASA’s ESCAPADE, Lands Fully Reusable Booster | |
The New Glenn orbital launch vehicle successfully completed its second mission, deploying NASA’s Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (ESCAPADE) twin-spacecraft into the designated loiter orbit, and landing the fully reusable first stage on Jacklyn in the Atlantic Ocean.
The ESCAPADE spacecraft will begin their journey to Mars once the planets have returned to the ideal alignment in fall 2026. ESCAPADE will use two identical spacecraft to investigate how the solar wind interacts with Mars’ magnetic environment
| |  | Anduril Selected for U.S. Army’s Integrated Battle Command System Maneuver Program | The Army has selected Anduril Industries for the Integrated Battle Command System Maneuver (IBCS-M) program, establishing Lattice as the Army’s next-generation fire control platform for Counter-UAS missions. IBCS-M provides the command, control, and integration backbone for a vast array of counter-drone systems, enabling a single operator to manage multiple threats simultaneously. It fuses sensor data, automates fire control, and integrates new capabilities, reducing operator load and compressing the time from detection to defeat. | | | Featured Products and Services | | | |

Synonyms: Volumetric 3D Printing, Computed Axial Lithography
A vat photopolymerization additive manufacturing process where highly controlled light from multiple sources is projected into a volume of photopolymer rather than onto the build layer. Strictly speaking, it is not a layer-based process. The light from each projector combines at the wavelength level with constructive interference to deliver enough energy to the right voxel to activate the photopolymer.
It is also called reverse photo topography (RPT) or computed axial lithography (CAL).
Instead of building up the part layer by layer, the part is solidified inside a sealed, rotating cylinder. At every rotation, more energy is constructed in the voxels to be solidified. Because of this approach, it can be over an order of magnitude faster than other vat photopolymerization processes.
Abbreviated as VAM.
