Congratulations to the @NASA IMAP team on today’s exciting launch! The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) will unlock new insights into our heliosphere. At Helicity Space, we’re honored to be building on this vision through our NASA NIAC–funded
🚀🛰IMAP spacecraft separation confirmed! One down, two to go! SWFO-L1 is up next!

Replying to @Fusion_Industry
@Fusion_Industry just released its annual report, noting that more than $2.5 billion has been invested in the global fusion industry in the past year alone. At Helicity, we see this as a powerful signal – fusion is no longer a distant dream.
Today, we launch the 2025 Global Fusion Industry report - our fifth annual snapshot of where industry stands. With numbers reported directly from the companies - it gives an update on investment, commercial timelines, milestones, & company profiles. fusionindustryassociation.or…

Sometimes the stars that grow up together, stay together. This large infrared mosaic is a multigenerational “family portrait” of multiple clusters of stars born from the same dense clumps of gas and dust. #MondayMotivation
