Manta Ray The US Navy's Secret Weapon

Handout photo shows the stealth submarine that will revolutionize naval warfare. To dominate the oceans, the US Navy is launching an autonomous drone capable of carrying out long-duration missions without human intervention. To enemy forces, it will be so much like a manta ray that it will be hard to miss. In reality, it's a military technological feat, since the Manta Ray is an autonomous aquatic drone developed by Northrop Grumman for Darpa (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). This unmanned submersible vehicle offers previously unseen capabilities in terms of autonomy and stealth. The biomimetic approach is not just aesthetic. Its hydrodynamic shape enables it to move through the water with minimal energy consumption and a reduced acoustic signature, making it difficult to detect. The Manta Ray will not be limited to being a simple surveillance drone. Its imposing size (exact dimensions remain classified) allows it to carry a substantial payload, paving the way for a multitude of potential missions,

NASA Delays The James Webb Space Telescope Launch Again

★Handout photo dated May 31, 2017 of NASA's Johnson Space Centers "Chamber A" in Houston is an enormous thermal vacuum testing chamber and now appears to be opening it's "mouth" to take in NASA's James Webb Space Telescope for testing. The telescope and the Integrated Science Instrument Module (ISIM) are two of the three major elements that comprise the Webb telescope Observatory flight system and are being lifted into the chamber in this photo. The other is the Spacecraft Element (spacecraft bus and sunshield), which is currently under construction at Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems (NGAS) in Redondo Beach, California. Last summer, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) set an October 31, 2021, launch date for the $ 10 billion James Webb Space Telescope, but it's having to delay the science observatory's trip into space once again. Thankfully, the launch might take place just a few
