Foremay Unveils Radiation-Hardened Space-Grade SSD

Radiation-Hardened SSD and Space-Grade SSD by Foremay

radiation-hardened-ssd-rad-hard-ssd-military-grade-ssd-space-grade-ssd-foremay

Formeay’s Rad-Hard SSD and Space-Grade SSD for LEO, MEO, GEO, HEO and deep space applications.

The industry’s first NVMe and SATA Rad-Hard SSD engineered for missions ranging from LEO to deep space, featuring Graded-Z shielding and AI-driven self-healing to ensure data integrity across LET 100 MeV•cm2/mg and TID 500 krad extreme radiation environments.

PASADENA, Calif., March 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Foremay, Inc., a global leader in Space-Grade SSD and Military-Grade SSD, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking InterStellar™ series full line of Radiation-Hardened SSD drives.

This next-generation Rad-Hard SSD is engineered specifically to meet the extreme demands of LEO, MEO, GEO, HEO and deep space exploration for both military and commercial applications, delivering an unprecedented long operational life in the harshest radiation environments, and it has been adopted by leading Space-qualified system manufacturers.

“The InterStellar™ is not just a storage device; it is a digital ark for the next century of space exploration,” said Dr. Jack Winters, Foremay’s CTO. “By combining physical interception, chemical neutron capture, and AI-driven self-healing, we are providing the space and defense industries with a standard-sized Space-Grade SSD solution that can survive the journey to the stars.”

Space and military electronics face a triple threat of Total Ionizing Dose (TID), Single Event Effects (SEE), and Internal Electrostatic Discharge (IESD). While standard industrial SSDs often fail within months of orbital exposure, Foremay’s InterStellar™ utilizes a Graded-Z shielding architecture combining its patent-pending and proprietary technologies.

The InterStellar™ solution effectively slows protons and captures secondary neutrons, reducing a raw 10,000 krad exposure to a manageable 500 krad threshold—ensuring hardware integrity across the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) and beyond. It also provides an effective barrier against the “Killer Electrons” of the outer Van Allen belts and secondary Bremsstrahlung radiation.

Furthermore, the architecture significantly increases the Total Ionizing Dose (TID) testing rating and LET (Linear Energy Transfer) threshold to resist and tolerate extreme radiations caused by Solar Particle Energy (SPE) and Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) in outer space and deep space. This makes it the premier choice for Single Event Effects (SEE) Immune Storage in the final frontier.

Beyond physical armor, the InterStellar™ features Foremay’s Interstellar AI-Driven Block Management (IABM™) which enables AI at the Edge in Space. This advanced firmware utilizes machine learning to create a real-time “Radiation Risk Map.” By monitoring Bit Error Rate (BER) and predictive sensor data, this high-reliability SSD for defense and space proactively migrates mission-critical data away from “hot zones” struck by high-energy heavy ions.

Coupled with a radiation hardened electronics controller and Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR), the drive remains Single Event Latch-up immunity (SEL), providing a level of Single Event Effects (SEE) mitigation previously unavailable in the SSD industry.

About Foremay

Founded in Silicon Valley in 2002, Foremay, Inc. is a leading designer and manufacturer of Military-Grade SSD and Space-Grade Solid State Drives. Headquartered in Pasadena, Foremay is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in extreme-environment with rugged SSD solutions. For more information, please visit www.foremay.net.

CGTN: How Xiongan is evolving into a model for high-quality urban growth

CGTN published an article exploring Xiongan New Area’s transformation into a modern urban model, highlighting the success of orderly relocation of Beijing’s non-capital functions as the core driver. It emphasizes human-centered achievements through massive investment, policy guarantees, and integration measures. The piece delves into sci-tech milestones accelerating new quality productive forces, positioning Xiongan as a demonstration zone for balanced high-quality development under the 15th Five-Year Plan.

BEIJING, March 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Every morning, 70-year-old Wang Helai and his wife stroll along the newly restored Longquan River trail near their home in Hebei Province’s Xiongan New Area. What was once a fragmented, littered dry channel is now a clear waterway lined with greenery. After the walk, they head straight to the community cafeteria in their compound, where meals are tailored for seniors and offer discounts for those over 60. Their daughter, who runs a nearby gym, often volunteers in the community.

For the family, education, healthcare, shopping, and recreation are all within a 15-minute radius. This seamless “15-minute life circle” captures how Xiongan has transformed daily living for ordinary residents, turning a planned city into a truly livable home.

The area’s ongoing transition into a modern city has been underscored by Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Xiongan on Monday, where he inspected key sites, including the start-up zone, China Huaneng Group’s relocated operations, and the Xiongan campus of Beijing No. 4 High School, and chaired a symposium on further advancing the high-quality construction and development of the area.

During his visit, Xi urged building Xiongan into an innovation hub in the new era and a model of promoting high-quality development.

Relocation as the core driver

Xiongan’s primary role remains to carry out Beijing’s non-capital functions in an orderly manner. Over the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the area completed cumulative investment exceeding 1 trillion yuan ($145.5 billion), achieved average annual GDP growth of 17.1%, developed nearly 215 square kilometers, and constructed more than 5,300 buildings.

In 2026, the start of the 15th Five-Year Plan, the focus has shifted to elevating overall capacity. The first batch of market-oriented secondary subsidiaries from central enterprises has settled, with additional groups, such as State Power Investment, accelerating integration.

A concrete example of this progress is China Huaneng Group. Over 1,000 employees from Huaneng’s headquarters and affiliated units have already entered routine daily office life and operations in Xiongan since their official relocation in October 2025. This smooth transition illustrates how policy support and on-the-ground coordination are enabling large-scale central enterprises to integrate fully and sustainably.

A new wave of relocation projects is advancing, backed by targeted policy guarantees that ensure relocated personnel enjoy entrepreneurial conditions, living conditions, and income levels no lower than those in Beijing, along with 278 specific Beijing-Xiongan integration measures that provide equivalent access to healthcare, education, and social services.

Building a city people want to live in

Beyond infrastructure, Xiongan prioritizes making the new area feel like home, especially for families. The Xiongan campus of Beijing No. 4 High School stands as a flagship example from Beijing’s “three schools and one hospital” support project – an initiative where Beijing funds and builds one kindergarten, one primary school, one secondary school and one general hospital, then hands them over to Xiongan for operation with ongoing management and teaching support from the respective Beijing institutions.

Opened in August 2023, the campus has formed an education group that extends high-quality teaching resources across the area. Its 2025 enrollment policy prioritized children from Category-1 and Category-2 relocated units, and student numbers continue to grow steadily, while the campus operated smoothly through the 2026 spring semester.

These efforts help ensure that relocated households can settle comfortably, with children accessing familiar, high-quality education close to home.

Innovation and new quality productive forces taking shape

National policy directs Xiongan to integrate sci-tech and industrial innovation, cultivate new quality productive forces suited to local conditions, and develop the Xiongan New Area Zhongguancun Science Park at a high level.

Key 2026 milestones include the release of the Jishu data model, developed jointly by Tsinghua University and a Xiongan-based firm, trusted data spaces achieving full coverage across government, finance, and energy sectors, and an aerospace innovation competition that has attracted participants nationwide and driven the landing of frontier projects.

These advances position Xiongan as a vital node in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei sci-tech innovation hub and a demonstration zone for new quality productive forces. Construction is steadily progressing to deliver “Xiongan quality” while maintaining clear skies, green landscapes, and clean waters.

Clinical Study Provides Evidence for the Use of Arla Foods Ingredients’ Lacprodan® IF-3070 in Infant Formula

AFI

AFI

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A clinical study published in Nutrients has shown that infant formula containing Arla Foods Ingredients’ Lacprodan® IF-3070 was well tolerated in infants, with growth and development indicators remaining within an appropriate range.1 The findings provide scientific evidence for formula development in early life nutrition.

Lacprodan® IF-3070 is a partially hydrolysed whey protein ingredient specially designed to support gastrointestinal comfort in healthy infants.

The study, which focused on safety and growth outcomes, recruited 251 newborns under 14 days old from six Chinese hospitals. They were randomised to receive either a standard formula based on intact protein, or one containing both intact protein and Lacprodan® IF-3070 (approximately 40%). Breastfed infants were included as a reference.

After six months, the difference in mean daily weight gain between the Lacprodan® IF-3070 group and the breastfed group was found to be only 0.4g per day. The difference between the standard formula group and the breastfed group was 1.1 g per day, indicating that growth trajectories in infants receiving the Lacprodan® IF-3070 formula were closer to those of the breastfed reference group.

In terms of tolerance, there were no significant differences in adverse event incidence (gastrointestinal disorders such as vomiting or refusal, respiratory diseases such as coughs, or general disorders such as fevers) between the Lacprodan® IF-3070 group and the breastfed group. By contrast, the incidence of gastrointestinal disorders was significantly higher in the standard formula group than in the breastfed group.

Lotte Neergaard Jacobsen, Chief Scientist, Early Life Nutrition, at Arla Foods Ingredients, said: “Healthy growth is a key factor in infant formula purchases. At Arla Foods Ingredients, we have decades of experience developing high-quality milk protein hydrolysates for infant formulas, and we are delighted that the first clinical study on Lacprodan® IF-3070 has confirmed that it supports healthy growth.”

Lacprodan® IF-3070 is part of Arla Foods Ingredients’ hydrolysate portfolio and can be used in China and the US. In 2024, the FDA approved the use of whey protein hydrolysates in infant formula.

HUDSON, Mass. and GAITHERSBURG, Md., March 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Artel Video—a brand of Patton® and producer of Media Transport Products—announces the FiberLinkTM ST2110-TD—a rugged, compact “throw-down” gateway that converts between 3G/HD-SDI and SMPTE ST 2110 IP signaling in real time—is now available for pre-order. May delivery expected.

Gateway. Artel’s latest innovation provides interconnection between legacy SDI workflows and modern all-IP broadcast infrastructure. The ST2110-TD supports one or two channels with bidirectional operation.

“Broadcasters shouldn’t have to choose between preserving SDI investment or embracing IP communication,” said Tim Godby, Director, Media Transport Systems.

Throw it Down. Drop It Anywhere. The ST2110-TD lives up to its name. This “throw-down” device is compact and portable. Engineers can deploy it almost anywhere. . . a studio floor, remote venue, or production truck. No rack required. Mounting options include DIN-rail, NEMA enclosures, and 1U rack-trays (for permanent installations).

“The FiberLink ST2110-TD offers ‘both-and’”, Godby continued. “Product adopters get a strategic, scalable, flexible, and affordable path to reliably adapt existing SDI workflows to ST2110.

ST2110 Compliant. The FiberLink ST2110-TD follows the SMPTE ST 2110 standards in every detail:

  • Video according to ST 2110-20 (single or dual channel)
  • Audio according to ST 2110-30 (PCM)
  • Ancillary data according to ST 2110-40
  • PTP synchronization per ST 2110-10 for precise stream alignment

Real World. The ST2110-TD is engineered and manufactured for the demands of real-world broadcasting. Built-in smart features include:

  • Autosensing SDI ports detect HD-SDI and 3G-SDI formats automatically
  • Traffic shaping per ST 2110-21 ensures reliable, on-time video delivery
  • Seamless redundancy via ST 2022-7 protection switching
  • NMOS support for discovery, routing, and audio mapping
  • Software upgradability adapts the unit to future standards

“PLUS. . . it’s bidirectional,” Godby added. “The Fiberlink ST2110-TD is compact and rugged. Throw it down wherever you need it. It just works”

Availability. Four ST2110-TD SKUs available for pre-order. Configurations include 1-channel and 2-channel versions for encapsulation (SDI-to-ST2110) and de-encapsulation (ST2110-to-SDI). AC power adapters included.
