Serial Entrepreneur, Reinhardt, Joins as Advisor to Send Humanity's First Spacecraft to Another StarREDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AlphaCentauri--The Fermi Explorer Mission announced today that Peter Reinhardt, an MIT-trained aerospace engineer and serial entrepreneur, is joining as an advisor, and he and his wife Erika are committing $1 million to the ambitious space project. The non-profit initiative is dedicated to launching humanity's first spacecraft to the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, by the end of 2029.Reinhardt brings a formidable combination of deep engineering knowledge and startup execution expertise to the Fermi Explorer team. While studying aerospace engineering at MIT, he co-founded his first major venture, Segment, a customer data platform. Under his leadership as CEO, Segment grew rapidly, scaling to hundreds of employees before being acquired by Twilio in 2020 for $3.2 billion, then the largest Y Combinator acquisition in history. Most recently, Reinhardt founded and serves a...

Billionaire space entrepreneur and Limitless Space Institute founder joins mission to launch the first interstellar mission to the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, by the end of 2029REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AlphaCentauri--The Fermi Explorer Mission announced today that space entrepreneur Dr. Kam Ghaffarian has joined the organization as a co-founder. Dr. Ghaffarian will help lead the ambitious initiative to launch humanity's first spacecraft to another star system by the end of 2029.
Fermi Explorer is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Its mission is a minimum-viable interstellar flight: a small spacecraft with at least a one-kilogram payload, launched for less than $15 million using existing solar-electric propulsion, on a trajectory that will travel more than 99 percent of the distance to Alpha Centauri within 80,000 years.
A Visionary in Space Exploration
Born in Isfahan, Iran, Ghaffarian watched the Apollo 11 landing as an 11-year-old and later immigrated to the United States at 17 to study engineer...

Trained On 53 Million Pages: US Supercomputer-Backed Tool To Search Nuclear Reactor Data
Authored by Aman Tripathi via Interesting Engineering,
Nuclear power stations across North America have begun using a dedicated virtual system called NIVA. The software was created by Atomic Canyon in collaboration with the Electric Power Research Institute, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations, and the Nuclear Energy Institute.

It provides engineers and technicians across the commercial reactor fleet with an automated method to query vast archives of technical, operational, and regulatory records.
"The U.S. nuclear sector sits on decades of invaluable technical and operational knowledge, but too much of that knowledge remains difficult to access at the speed modern deployments require," said Trey Lauderdale, Founder & CEO, Atomic Canyon.
"The fleetwide availability of NIVA shows that AI i...
