The US Air Force has put its seal of approval on the new X-66A green aircraft demonstrator project from NASA and Boeing, aimed at cutting fuel consumption by 30% and setting the stage for net zero emissions.
NASA is lending its financial muscle to help an Arizona startup send its self repairing solar panels into space and meet the demand for larger, more powerful arrays.
Space solar once seemed like a faraway dream, but the economic case is taking shape and the basic technology is at hand.

Scientists from NOAA, NASA and 21 universities from three countries are deploying state-of-the-art instruments in multiple, coordinated research campaigns this month to investigate how air pollution sources have shifted over recent decades. Since the 1970s, U.S. scientists and environmental regulators made significant strides in reducing air pollution by cleaning up … [continued]
NASA wants new solar cells to sport a "Made on the Moon" label, using only materials harvested from the Moon.
