Production of the new carbon composite forward dome for Neutron’s Stage 1 propellant tank is underway. Our automated fiber placement (AFP) machine follows a computer-controlled course to lay down thousands of strands of carbon fiber - each thinner than a human hair - at speeds of up to 100 meters per minute to create Stage 1’s structures on custom molds. Once the AFP machine is finished with the new forward dome it will be rolled out, inspected, then prepared for the curing process to harden the carbon composite.

Global smartphone purchases have collapsed. Worldwide smartphone shipments dropped -22.0% YoY in Q3 2026, to 255.3 million units, their largest quarterly decline on record. Samsung's shipments fell -5.8% YoY, to 57.8 million units, while Apple's declined -4.0% to 57.3 million units. At the same time, Xiaomi shipments fell -29.2% YoY to 30.7 million units, Oppo dropped -34.5%, to 25.6 million units, while Vivo fell -31.5%, to 19.1 million units. This comes as memory costs have surged +350% since last year, driven by AI-related demand, putting further pressure on smartphone manufacturers. As a result, soaring component costs are forcing vendors to raise prices and reduce budget-focused offerings, with consumers increasingly keeping their existing devices for longer. Global smartphone sales are contracting amid surging prices.

BREAKING: Yemen's Houthis have issued a stark warning to Aramco shareholders to sell their shares "before it is too late," while urging employees and citizens to stay away from Saudi Arabia's oil facilities as the group prepares to escalate its attacks on the kingdom's energy infrastructure, per a Yemeni military source cited by the local Saba News Agency. The direct advice to investors to dump Aramco stock is an explicit attempt to weaponize financial markets and crash the kingdom's economic lifeline. It follows a devastating wave of Houthi strikes that have already hit the Aramco headquarters in Dhahran, the Riyadh refinery, Abqaiq, and the East-West pipeline. The threat lands as Brent crude touched $110 a barrel** for the first time since May, settling at **$109.86, with WTI closing at $101.41—up roughly 5% and 10% for the week, respectively.

BREAKING: Israel has kept its military at its highest state of alert across all fronts, deploying mobile bomb shelters in Tel Aviv and Ashdod as it braces for a massive volley of Iranian missiles and prepares for a potential US strike on Iran, per Israel Hayom and Al Hadath. The alert was raised after the IRGC fired 30 ballistic missiles in large-scale exercises, with Israeli assessments indicating the US is expected to launch targeted strikes within days against radars and launch platforms near the Strait of Hormuz.

Kratos is seeking US government authorization for Taiwan to produce the Mighty Hornet IV. Mighty Hornet IV is a jet-powered one-way strike drone the company developed jointly with Taiwan's NCSIST. Vehicle details: - Has 90% of a crewed fighter jet’s strike capabilities for $500K per unit - Flies at mach 0.7–0.85 - Kratos builds airframes, and Taiwan fits the mission systems and warhead. Kratos seeks State Department technology-transfer licenses for full assembly lines in Taiwan. Kratos is also working with NCSIST on an XQ-58 Valkyrie variant. The Marine Corps selected the XQ-58 for its CCA program and Kratos is bidding on Germany's loyal-wingman contract. taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/ar…

Zelensky: Starlink terminals in Ukraine stop working above 161 km/h, while in the EU they keep running past 180 km/h. He called the limit a "planned operation" that blocks Ukraine from using certain interceptor drones against jet-powered Shaheds and from resupplying cut-off frontline positions.

JUST IN: The U.S. military is advancing plans for a $4 billion headquarters for U.S. Space Command, including a highly secure command center designed to coordinate America's military operations in space. The facility, planned for Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, will support approximately 1,800 personnel and house critical command-and-control infrastructure, secure communications and a dedicated data center. The headquarters will incorporate protection against electromagnetic pulses, redundant systems and specialized facilities for classified military operations. The Air Force is preparing to select a contractor to design, construct and equip the facility, with a target for operational readiness by December 2031. The investment reflects the growing importance of space as a military operating domain, as the U.S. expands its ability to monitor orbital activity, protect satellites and coordinate operations against emerging threats. The estimated $4 billion project has not yet been awarded to a contractor.

The FCC has circulated a draft to loosen its rules for satellite-to-phone service, known as Supplemental Coverage from Space (SCS). Why it matters: every approved SCS deployment so far has needed a waiver. The draft aims to move away from that rigid framework. What it would change: • 482+ MHz available by rule, more than double today’s • Eligible bands from 5 to 13 • Looser leasing rules • No waiver needed when a satellite operator holds the terrestrial spectrum itself The FCC is also asking about D2D performance requirements and interference rules.

28.1 miles on Mars, powered by Rocket Lab hardware. NASA's Perseverance rover has now driven 28.1 miles (45.2 km) across the Red Planet in just five and a half years, breaking an off-world driving record that took Opportunity nearly 15 years to set. Rocket Lab solar panels powered Perseverance's cruise to Mars, then on the surface, Rocket Lab Robotics (formerly Motiv Space Systems) hardware helps turn those miles into science — from the Mastcam-Z camera mechanisms that zoom in on targets, to the 7-foot robotic arm placing instruments against Martian rock with sub-millimeter precision. Every mile is another step in the search for signs of ancient life.
