During Industry Space Days 2026 at ESA's ESTEC facility in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, LMT Group and Novaspace announced a partnership to develop a strategy for a 5G/6G satellite communications hub in Latvia.

The New York Power Authority (NYPA) is set to own 51% of the 240-MW Rich Road Solar project in partnership with EDF. It is the first project NYPA has developed using a public-private partnership model to advance renewable energy.

China completed its ninth and tenth launches of September, sending Guowang and Yaogan satellites into orbit ahead of an intense finish to the year, setting up a busy fourth-quarter manifest. The report references a Long March 8A rocket, with further details not provided in the available context.

In a study of about 16,000 apparently healthy adults, more than half showed signs of atherosclerosis, with arterial plaques detectable in roughly 1 in 13 people aged 18 to 29. Researchers say directly imaging the arteries could reveal hidden cardiovascular disease years or even decades before symptoms appear.

STAT reports that questions about the durability of UniQure's experimental Huntington's disease gene therapy matter to Wall Street, but matter less to those directly affected by the disease; one patient is not fazed by its waning effect. The therapy remains experimental, and the report draws no efficacy conclusion.

Small biotech company Invivyd is developing an injectable, low-dose monoclonal antibody intended to protect against Covid. According to the report, its pursuit of a Covid vaccine alternative has received a lift, but an FDA hurdle may await; no efficacy conclusions are stated in the item.

Strict, notoriously tangled regulations in New York City make it difficult to get large energy storage projects onto the grid. MIT Technology Review reports that, faced with these obstacles, some startups are getting creative, finding ways to use relatively small batteries in unexpected places — an approach that could help the grid.

Samsung's long-awaited smart glasses have cleared FCC testing, suggesting their release may be near. Two models, SM-O200P and SM-O200J, appeared in FCC filings — typically one of the last steps before commercialization — with the two product codes indicating Warby Parker and Gentle Monster frames respectively.

The Alzheimer's risk gene APOE4 may actively damage brain blood vessels and sabotage the cellular systems that remove harmful proteins. Researchers were able to reverse some of these effects in experiments, revealing promising new targets for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases; the work remains at the experimental stage.

Galileo Space is building satellites designed to turn signals into answers in orbit, as modern defense and commercial operations need fast answers about what is happening and where. The item's description of existing systems is truncated, and no further technical details or results are provided.

This item is the headline of a randomized placebo-controlled trial, published by Nature Medicine, examining the effects of semaglutide on kidney disease in type 2 diabetes. No results or additional context are provided in the feed, so no outcome can be stated.

Social club The Den says using ChatGPT Work frees up 10-15 hours a week; as it opens a new location, it now prepares grant applications in 2 hours instead of 3 days and liquor-license materials in 3 hours instead of 4 days, according to OpenAI.

The International Neoadjuvant Melanoma Consortium (INMC) released an updated pooled analysis on five-year survival with neoadjuvant therapy in melanoma. The available context provides no further details.

NASA has selected three new scientific investigations and their payload suites through its Payloads and Research Investigations on the Surface of the Moon (PRISM) program. The selections aim to advance knowledge of the Moon and help pave the way for building humanity's first lunar outpost, Moon Base.

NASA has awarded Modulate Space Corporation a contract to develop key elements of a 5G communications system with built-in Wi-Fi 6 for use on the lunar surface, for NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland. The accelerated effort is organized into two primary work areas to develop a scalable, standards-based communications capability.

STAT reports that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced new efforts to use AI to speed up and expand clinical trials. Federal health officials said the goal is to accelerate clinical research to compete with countries such as China.

NASA, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and the German Aerospace Center signed a joint statement of intent to begin coordinated, preparatory work toward an Earth-based demonstrator to learn how to grow crops on the Moon. The work is at a preparatory stage.
