GE Aerospace stock price today: Shares edge up after NASA-backed hybrid-electric engine test

GE Aerospace shares rose 0.6% to $296.88 after the company completed the first ground test of a commercial hybrid-electric engine demonstrator with NASA in Ohio. The test marked the first fully integrated hybrid-electric system run, with data now under review. Engine maintenance remains GE’s main profit driver, though airlines cite rising costs and delays. RTX also reported strong engine demand and raised its 2026 sales outlook.

NASA Mars goes radio-silent as solar conjunction stalls MAVEN recovery efforts

NASA Mars goes radio-silent as solar conjunction stalls MAVEN recovery efforts

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 18:11 ET NASA has entered a planned communications blackout with its Mars missions as a solar alignment known as conjunction begins, delaying efforts to re-establish contact with the MAVEN orbiter that has been silent since early December, the agency said. NASA said the pause starts Dec. 29 and it does not expect contact with any Mars missions until Jan. 16. NASA Science The timing matters because solar conjunction cuts off the routine back-and-forth needed to keep spacecraft operating smoothly and to troubleshoot anomalies. It also freezes recovery work on MAVEN at a moment when engineers

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 08:24 ET NASA is seeking a drone-detection and analysis system to spot unauthorized aircraft over the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, according to a sources sought notice posted for industry review. (HigherGov) The capability matters because the agency said the data would be used to make rapid decisions to protect NASA personnel, the public, launch vehicles and other high-value assets. The notice also underscores the sensitivity of the mission: performance could involve access to classified information or work in a security area up to the level of Secret, it said.

Shannon Airport Was Considered a NASA Space Shuttle Emergency Landing Site, Newly Released Irish State Papers Show

Shannon Airport Was Considered a NASA Space Shuttle Emergency Landing Site, Newly Released Irish State Papers Show

If you’ve ever passed through Shannon Airport, it’s easy to think of it as a gateway for transatlantic travel—a place built for long runways, strong winds, and big aircraft. But newly released Irish State Papers suggest the Co Clare runway once sat inside a far more dramatic contingency plan: a last-resort landing option for NASA’s Space Shuttle, should a launch go catastrophically wrong. Documents reported in Irish media over the weekend indicate U.S. officials asked the Irish Government in 1995 to allow Shannon to be used as an additional emergency landing location.

Tsunami Seen From Space: NASA’s SWOT Satellite Captures 2025 Kamchatka Megaquake in Unprecedented Detail

When a magnitude 8.8 megathrust earthquake struck off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula on July 29, 2025, it sent a tsunami racing across almost the entire Pacific. Now, scientists have revealed something just as extraordinary as the quake itself: for the first time, a satellite has captured a giant Pacific tsunami in high-resolution detail from space, forcing a rethink of how these waves behave and how we forecast them. Wikipedia+1 New analyses of data from NASA and CNES’s Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite – published in The Seismic Record at the end of November – show a surprisingly intricate tsunami wavefield that challenges
