United integrates Starlink and cloud-based apps to migrate seatback and personal-device IFE online

United is leveraging Starlink's high-speed, low-latency LEO broadband to stream cloud-hosted applications directly to seatback screens and passengers' personal devices, migrating IFE functions off onboard servers into cloud platforms. The move underpins a broader shift in IFE architecture as airlines retrofit fleets for LEO connectivity.

U. of Illinois 3D-prints flat carbon-fiber composites that self-morph into curved satellite parts in orbit University of Illinois researchers have 3D-printed flat carbon-fiber composite structures that self-morph into curved satellite components in space. The work demonstrates a pathway to manufacture complex curved parts as compact, flat forms on the ground and transform them after launch.

H3 rocket failure strands Michibiki No.5, disrupts Japanese QZSS timeline Japan's H3 rocket failed Monday while carrying Michibiki No.5, a Quasi-Zenith Satellite System navigation satellite, preventing orbital insertion and disrupting the schedule to complete a high-precision regional positioning network often dubbed 'Japanese GPS.' The loss is a setback for national navigation autonomy.
