VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Equity Insider News Commentary - General Fusion, the first publicly listed fusion energy company, has announced a world-first result on its path to commercial fusion power. Its large-scale demonstration machine, Lawson Machine 26 ("LM26"), heated plasma to more than 12 million degrees Celsius, or more than 1 keV in the units the fusion industry uses, with the Company’s practical low-speed compression approach. The temperature was measured together with the UK Atomic Energy Authority ("UKAEA"), written up in technical papers that are posted publicly and submitted for peer review, and it checks off the first of three milestones G

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Market Updates News Commentary - Hypersonic and high-speed programs are multiplying, but the places to test them in real atmospheric conditions have not kept pace. Traditional wind tunnels run for seconds and are oversubscribed, which is why reusable flight-test platforms are drawing attention. Starfighters Space, Inc. (NYSE:FJET) says it has received its first flight hardware for its Wind Tunnel in the Sky™ program, built to support reusable Mach 2+ testing. Companies in the high-speed and defense backdrop include Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:KTOS), Rocket Lab Corporation (NASDAQ:RKLB), AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDA

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary – A satellite launched this year may still be flying in the 2040s. The cryptography protecting its command links, its downlinks and its ground segment was, in most cases, chosen years before launch and cannot be swapped out with a service call. That mismatch between hardware lifecycles and cryptographic lifecycles is why post-quantum security has moved from a research topic to a procurement question inside space agencies, and why the work is starting now rather than when a cryptographically relevant quantum computer actually exists. Encrypted traffic captured today can be stored and decrypted later, which means the

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Sept. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American News Group News Commentary - The race to develop hypersonic weapons, high-speed defense systems, and next-generation spaceflight hardware has created a demand that is easy to overlook: someone has to actually fly the tests. Getting instruments, materials, and payloads into the high-speed, high-altitude flight regime, again and again, on a schedule and at a cost that makes iterative testing practical, is its own specialized capability. One small public company has built its business around a fleet of supersonic aircraft that can do exactly that, and this month it is taking that fleet in front of a public audience. Key Takeaw
