The X-59 is in the final test phase before it makes its first official flight, something that NASA expects to happen this year.
NASA tests innovative technique for super-cold fuel storage
In the vacuum of space, where temperatures can plunge to -455°F, it might seem like keeping things cold would be easy. But the reality is more complex for preserving ultra-cold fluid propellants—or fuel—that can easily overheat from onboard systems, solar radiation, and spacecraft exhaust. The solution is a method called cryogenic fluid management, a suite of technologies that stores, transfers, and measures super-cold fluids for the surface of …
NASA Tests Supersonic “Son of Concorde” Jet That Could Cut New York–Israel Flight Time in Half
A next-generation supersonic jet that could dramatically shorten the flight time between New York and Israel is one step closer to takeoff after successfully completing its first low-speed taxi test. Dubbed the X-59 and referred to by some as the “son of Concorde,” the experimental aircraft taxied under its own power for the first time at the U.S. Air Force’s Plant 42 facility in Palmdale, California. The test marks a major milestone for NASA’s …
New copper alloy delivers shape memory performance at extreme cold
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Jul 22, 2025 A research collaboration led by Tohoku University has unveiled a copper-based shape memory alloy that retains functionality at cryogenic temperatures down to -200C. This breakthrough material offers a viable actuator solution for space technologies and hydrogen systems where extreme cold conditions are common. Conventional shape memory alloys (SMAs) made of nickel-titanium lose their shape
In the vacuum of space, where temperatures can dive to -455°F, it may seem that keeping things cold would be easy. But reality is more complex to preserve ultra-cold liquid propellants – or fuel – that can easily overheat embedded systems, solar radiation and exhaust from [...]
