GKN Aerospace (Solihull, U.K.) announced in March that it is leading a new U.K. industry consortium called ASCEND (Aerospace and Automotive Supply Chain Enabled Development) to develop and accelerate composite manufacturing and processing of composites technologies for the next generation of energy-efficient aircraft and future mobility.
The £39.6 million consortium is funded by a £20 million commitment from industry and a £19.6 million commitment from the UK Government via InnovateUK and the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI). It will focus on greater adoption of composite technologies, the industrialization of new technologies through the acceleration of commercial aerospace production rates to meet future flexible high-volume requirements.

Cobham Mission Systems, the worldâs leader in critical control solutions, today announced that its space pyrotechnic valves on the NASA Perseverance rover mission enabled an historically precise landing on Mars. During the final minute of the flight, as the rover shifted from parachute to retrorockets to control the descent, eight pyrovalves fired precisely on cue. Opening instantaneously, the pyrovalves allowed exactly the fuel required to support a guided entry, descent and landing on Mars, which placed the rover within the targeted landing ellipse. Â
âCobham Mission Systems is so proud to support NASAâs Jet Propulsion Laboratory with proven space propulsion solutions that power Mars exploration,â said Craig Ryan, integrated product team director for Space Systems at Cobham Mission Systems. âWe have a long heritage of providing space technologies, st

Development) to develop and accelerate composite material and process technologies for the next generation of energy efficient aircraft and future mobility.
The £40 million consortium, funded by a £20 million commitment from industry and a £19.6 million commitment from the UK Government via the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI), will focus on greater adoption of composite technologies, the industrialization of new technologies, as well as accelerating aerospace production rates to meet future high-volume requirements. This includes the development of advanced material and automation equipment technologies across the U.K. supply chain to manufacture lightweight structures for the sustainable air mobility, aerospace and automotive industries.
