LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Astemo Americas Inc. will showcase an expanding lineup of automotive, performance and powersports products at AAPEX 2026 while launching an entirely new SHOWA Performance shock absorber line at the 2026 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas early this November.

Astemo continues to expand its automotive aftermarket offerings with an emphasis on several key product categories, including electronic throttle bodies, mass airflow sensors, ignition coils, and position sensors for camshafts and crankshafts. The company has broadened its aftermarket portfolio with brake calipers and brake pads. These products will be on display at the Venetian Convention and Expo Center (AAPEX booth No. V2831).

The company also will launch the SHOWA Performance shock absorber line for the 4-wheel and off-road market at its SEMA Show booth (No. 55217). Available in early 2027, the new line ranges from everyday to race-ready shocks, with applications for today's most popular off-road vehicles and custom builds.

At the company's AAPEX booth, a vehicle equipped with SHOWA Performance suspension will highlight the expansion into the off-road segment. Together with a full array of 4-wheel performance shock absorbers and related suspension components, the vehicle will demonstrate the Astemo legacy of performance engineering expertise through the SHOWA product launch.

"We continue to look for opportunities to expand our coverage in product categories where Astemo has deep OE experience and technical expertise," said Ryan Pelkey, who heads the Astemo Americas Aftermarket Business Division. "Our focus is on bringing Tier 1 supplier expertise and quality, backed by nearly a century of OE experience and innovation inherited through one of Astemo's predecessor businesses, to an expanding range of aftermarket vehicle applications and customers."

Astemo also will showcase its growing powersports portfolio with products and technologies from its established SHOWA, Nissin and Keihin brands, including the SHOWA GRID suspension.

Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Josef Newgarden will make an appearance at the Astemo AAPEX booth to sign autographs from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 4. The booth also will feature a display of championship-winning Honda HRC Progressive race bikes.

Astemo continued its INDYCAR SERIES partnership with Team Penske and Chevrolet for a 15th consecutive season in 2026 as a sponsor of the Newgarden-driven No. 2 Chevrolet.

"Our AAPEX display reflects our continued investment in our North American aftermarket business," Pelkey said.

X-Bow Selected by CoAspire to Provide Booster Motors for U.S. Navy CHAOS Program

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- X-Bow Systems Inc (X-Bow®), a U.S. manufacturer of solid rocket motors (SRMs), today announced it has been selected by prime contractor CoAspire to develop and produce the ground launched SRM booster motors for the U.S. Navy's new Coalition Heterogeneous Affordable Offensive Strike (CHAOS) program.

The CHAOS program is designed to deliver an affordable, mass-producible cruise missile to U.S. allies, providing a versatile strike capability against land and maritime targets to build collective deterrence and reduce reliance on expensive legacy stockpiles.

This selection is the latest of seven new propulsion programs X-Bow has won in 2026, spanning the Navy, Army, and Missile Defense Agency. The award builds on the company's recently completed first major production contract, which delivered more than 2,100 combat-ready rocket motors â a tangible demonstration of the "production is deterrence" capacity the nation needs.

"Rebuilding the nation's arsenal demands a fundamentally different industrial base," said Jason Hundley, Founder and CEO of X-Bow. "Our digital-first manufacturing and proprietary Additive Manufacturing of Solid Propellant⢠technology are built to deliver advanced, reliable systems at a cost and velocity the legacy industry can't match."

"CoAspire is thrilled to support the U.S. Navy with this much-needed, affordable, mid-range maritime strike weapon," said Doug Denneny, CEO, owner, and founder. "We, and our 56 first-tier suppliers across almost every state, are excited to support PMX-201, NAVAIR, and our coalition partners with an affordable cruise missile solution."

About X-Bow Systems

X-Bow Systems (pronounced crossbow) is solving the nation's munitions crisis by breaking the 50-year bottleneck in solid rocket motor (SRM) production. The company leverages its proprietary additive manufacturing to produce affordable, scalable SRMs that power a new generation of missiles, interceptors, and space launch vehicles. Reflecting strong demand, the company's revenue and backlog have more than doubled since 2023. Backed by prominent aerospace and venture capital investors, the company is headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with advanced manufacturing and test sites across the country.

Ukraine's Sovereign Satellite Now Operating in Orbit

News provided by

GomSpace A/S

Oct 27, 2026, 11:54 ET

HIMERA and GomSpace launched it under the OBRIA Initiative.

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ukraine's HIMERA and Denmark's GomSpace have launched OBRIA NANO â the first test satellite for a future independent Ukrainian communications network â into orbit and have already commenced operation.

OBRIA NANO marks the first historical step toward establishing resilient and sovereign satellite communications capabilities for Ukraine.

The satellite was launched as part of the SpaceX Transporter-18 mission on October 1, 2026. It is progressing testing the OBRIA constellation capabilities according to plan. It will support technical testing intended to inform the design of the operational system, advancing OBRIA towards a Ukrainian national infrastructure.

Dependence on technologies from other countries, including partner countries, creates strategic risks, particularly during wartime. Developing domestic capabilities will help Ukraine diversify its communications channels and strengthen its strategic security. OBRIA NANO will operate under the control of a Ukrainian operator and serve Ukraine's strategic security needs.

"For us, this project is about more than launching a satellite. It is an opportunity to lay the foundation for an independent communications network for Ukraine. We are starting by testing technologies in orbit, while our long-term goal is to develop capabilities that will strengthen the country's strategic security and reduce dependence on external communications providers," says Misha Rudominski, Co-founder and CEO of HIMERA.

"We are excited to work with HIMERA and accelerate this important initiative. Our shared ambition is to strengthen Ukraine's independent communications capabilities and support the country's long-term security and economic development," says Carsten Drachmann, CEO of GomSpace.

In the long term, the initiative plans to deploy a satellite network that will provide communications coverage across Ukraine and complement the capabilities of European satellite networks. This will lay the groundwork for an independent Ukrainian satellite communications system serving the country's strategic security interests.

An important next step will be localizing satellite and ground communications terminal production in Ukraine. This will help develop domestic expertise in satellite communications and gradually expand Ukraine's manufacturing capabilities.

The limited-edition launch introduces the Body Bag Sleeping Bag and Dirt Nap Blanket, bringing humor and technical comfort to the outdoors.

PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rumpl, the outdoor brand known for its technical blankets, and Liquid Death, the healthy beverage platform and one of the fastest-growing non-alcoholic brands, have teamed up to make getting some rest a little more interesting.

The limited-edition launch introduces two new products: the Body Bag Sleeping Bag, built on Rumpl's Wrap Sack, and the Dirt Nap Blanket, based on the Original Puffy Blanket. Combining Liquid Death's unmistakable style with Rumpl's technical performance, the collection brings together two brands that believe greatness doesn't have to take itself too seriously while delivering high-quality products.

"When Liquid Death approached us about making a Body Bag and a Dirt Nap Blanket, it was pretty hard to say no," said Wylie Robinson, Founder of Rumpl. "We take making great gear seriously. Ourselves? Not so much. This is what happens when those two ideas collide."

Two Ways to 'Rest in Puffy'

When Drain Cleaning Does Not Permanently Solve the Problem, the Real Issue Is Often Deeper in the Main Sewer Line.

REVERE, Mass., Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What does it mean when a drain backs up again and again, even after it has been professionally cleaned? A HelloNation article examines what recurring drain backups reveal about the condition of a home's sewer line and why the real cause is often deeper than a surface clog.

Standard drain cleaning removes accumulated material from inside the pipe, including grease, hair, soap residue, and food debris near the surface. The article explains that when a backup returns within days or weeks of a cleaning, the cleared obstruction was likely a symptom of a condition further into the drainage system, not the underlying cause of the recurring drain backup.

The main sewer line is the central pipe that carries wastewater from every fixture and drain in the home to the municipal sewer connection or a septic system. The article notes that when a problem develops inside the main line, its effects often appear across multiple drains at the same time. Backups in two or more fixtures simultaneously are a reliable indicator that the issue is in the main line rather than a single branch drain.

Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of drain backups that keep returning, the article explains. A root system that has grown into a sewer line does not stop growing simply because the line was cleared. The restriction resumes as the root continues to expand, and repeated clearing of a line with active root growth is a temporary measure, not a resolution.

Pipe deterioration is another common source of recurring problems. Clay, cast iron, and Orangeburg pipes used in homes built before the mid-1970s can crack, separate at their joints, and sag out of alignment over time. These conditions create low spots inside the pipe where debris collects even after the rest of the line has been cleaned. A Sewer and Drain Expert working with older residential drainage systems encounters this pattern frequently and will recognize it as a structural issue rather than a routine maintenance problem.

The slope of the sewer line is another contributing factor the article addresses. Pipes are installed at an angle that uses gravity to carry wastewater forward. If the soil beneath the pipe has shifted over time, sections can sag and create low points where water and solids collect rather than flow. This condition, often described as pipe bellying, creates persistent restrictions that cleaning cannot permanently eliminate.

What enters the drainage system on a daily basis also matters, the article notes. Paper towels, wipes marketed as flushable, and similar items do not break down inside the pipe the way toilet paper does. They accumulate in sections where flow is already reduced, causing recurring drain backups to return more quickly in a line that is already compromised.

Finding the actual source of the problem requires looking inside the pipe, the article explains. A sewer camera inspection provides a direct view of the drainage system's interior, allowing root growth, cracks, grease accumulation, offset joints, and settled sections to be identified directly. That information makes it possible to address the specific problem rather than repeatedly treat the surface. A Sewer and Drain Expert uses those findings to determine the most appropriate next step for the drainage system.
