NASA Invests in 3D Printing
for Aviation E
Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as
3D printing, is a promising new technology for
all areas of aviation manufacturing. Additive
manufacturing's flexibility in design and cus-
tomization, cost reduction, and speed in de-
livering finished parts make it a perfect fit for
creating parts used in aviation contexts.
'Eyes' for the Autopilot E
Automatic landings have long been standard
procedure for commercial aircraft. While
major airports have the infrastructure nec-
essary to ensure the safe navigation of the
aircraft, this is usually not the case at smaller
airports.

NASA Seeks Input from U.S. Industry on
Artemis Lander Development E
In a major step toward returning astronauts to
the surface of the Moon under the Artemis lu-
nar exploration program and preparing for fu-
ture missions to Mars, NASA is seeking com-
ments from American companies interested in
providing an integrated human landing system

Behind the Scenes of the Apollo
Mission at MIT E
From making the lunar landings possible to in-
terpret the meaning of the moon rocks, the In-
stitute was a vital part of history.
Math Invented for Moon Landing Helps
Your Flight Arrive on Time E
They say the computers onboard the Apollo
spacecraft were not even as powerful as your
smartphone. So, how did they travel all that
way, perform complex maneuvers in space,
and return through Earth's atmosphere at just
the right angle to splashdown in the Pacific
Ocean?
