techcrunch.com Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai 2025-10-10 09:39:54

In Brief Luxury car-maker Jaguar Land Rover will not resume production at its factories for yet another week as it continues to grapple with fallout from a cyberattack. In early September, the Jaguar Land Rover stopped production at its factories in the U.K. after it was impacted by a cyberattack in which hackers stole company data. Jaguar Land Rover has not said what data was stolen. Jaguar Land Rover said in a statement on Tuesday the production suspension will continue until next week, spe

Blue Origin wins NASA deal to ferry VIPER rover to lunar south pole

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-10-13 01:55:01

On Friday, Blue Origin won a major NASA contract to deliver a lunar rover to the moon, a strong vote of confidence in both the Blue Moon lander and the future of human exploration. The contract also means that the VIPER rover will finally see the lunar surface after NASA shelved the entire program last year due to delays and cost overruns. Under the deal, Blue Origin will carry VIPER – short for “Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover” – on its uncrewed Blue Moon Mk1 lander. Separatel

Jaguar Land Rover says data stolen in disruptive cyberattack

techcrunch.com Zack Whittaker 2025-10-31 09:19:29

In Brief Jaguar Land Rover said on Wednesday that an unspecified amount of data was stolen during a cyberattack that has brought vehicle assembly lines to a standstill. In a statement on Wednesday, the U.K.-based maker of Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles said it was aware that “some data” was taken in the incident. Companies that operate in the U.K. are obligated to notify the Information Commissioner’s Office within three days of discovering a data breach. It’s not immediately clear if th

Canada’s first-ever Moon rover is going to hitch a ride aboard private space company’s Firefly Aerospace’s fourth Blue Ghost mission to our celestial satellite. The news comes after NASA awarded Firefly $176.7 million to deliver two rovers and three scientific instruments to the lunar surface. The Texas-based company pulled-off its first Moon landing on March 2, delivering payloads for NASA as part of the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative (CLPS). Firefly is set to launch its

Jaguar Land Rover says cyberattack ‘severely disrupted’ production

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-11-16 05:23:11

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) announced that a cyberattack forced the company to shut down certain systems as part of the mitigation effort. Although the incident appears to have a significant impact on the automakers’ production and retail operations, the short statement published on the official website noted that customer data is most likely unaffected. “JLR has been impacted by a cyber incident. We took immediate action to mitigate its impact by proactively shutting down our systems,” reads the

NASA explains how it keeps the Curiosity rover running, 13 years later

engadget.com Unknown 2026-01-06 17:45:30

Thirteen years ago, the Curiosity rover landed on Mars, inside Gale crater in particular. It was originally sent to the red planet for a two-year mission, but it was extended indefinitely just a few months into its operations. The rover has several goals, most of which are meant to help scientists determine whether Mars could ever have supported life in the past. And while it's still very much operational and doing science, NASA has had to make adjustments and give it new capabilities to ensure

NASA's Curiosity picks up new skills

Instead, Curiosity and its younger sibling Perseverance each use their MMRTG nuclear power source, which relies on decaying plutonium pellets to create energy and recharge the rover’s batteries. Providing ample power for the rovers’ many science instruments, MMRTGs are known for their longevity (the twin Voyager spacecraft have relied on RTGs since 1977). But as the plutonium decays over time, it takes longer to recharge Curiosity’s batteries, leaving less energy for science each day. The team

Flawed Tests on Earth May Explain Why NASA’s Rovers Get Stuck on Mars

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2026-01-12 06:00:28

In the spring of 2019, the six-wheeled Spirit rover was driving backwards to drag an inoperable front right wheel when it got stuck on the sandy Martian surface. Despite spending months trying to excavate its robot, NASA could not free Spirit. Now, engineers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison may have figured out a way to better prepare NASA’s robots for extraterrestrial environments. In a paper published in the Journal of Field Robotics, the team of engineers used computer simulations to

SkyRover X1 may be a DJI drone in disguise, amid US soft ban on Chinese drones

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2026-01-21 22:18:00

In context: When the SkyRover X1 drone appeared on Amazon, it arrived with little fanfare but quickly captured the attention of enthusiasts and industry analysts alike. Priced at $758 and offering a feature set strikingly similar to DJI's well-known Mini 4 Pro, the X1 stood out in a market now conspicuously lacking official DJI drones. That fact alone made its debut noteworthy as major US retailers and online platforms had largely run out of DJI products, leaving would-be buyers with few mainst

DJI barely sells drones in the United States anymore. The shelves are bare; resellers are jacking up prices. It appears an unofficial ban at US customs is to blame. But on Amazon, you can now buy a drone that’s a a dead ringer for the DJI Mini 4 Pro — the SkyRover X1 — for a reasonable $758. And that’s probably because DJI made it happen.
