7-Oct-2025 3,000 lung transplants performed each year in US American Thoracic Society For thousands of Americans living with advanced lung disease, a lung transplant may be their only chance for survival. Yet despite the life-saving potential of this procedure, many patients face the transplant journey without adequate information, resources, or support. The American Thoracic Society is proud to sign on as an inaugural partner to the first-ever Lung Transplant Awareness Day on Thursday, Oct. 9, 2025.
7-Oct-2025 SwRI develops technology to deploy stabilized solar arrays, enabling spacecraft docking Southwest Research Institute SAN ANTONIO — October 7, 2025 — Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has developed technology to stiffen deployable structures on spacecraft, enabling autonomous spacecraft docking operations. SwRI is currently integrating the Parallelogram Synchronized Truss Assembly (PaSTA) technology with solar arrays on the Astroscale U.S. Refueler spacecraft. The team is also designing two different deployable booms using PaSTA technology for another spacecraft SwRI is developing.
