First Section of the Second Conventional Submarine of Prosub Leaves Manufacturing Workshop and Goes to the Shipyard Also in Itaguaí, Rio de Janeiro

A successful transfer of the first section of the submarine Humaitá (S-BR2), the second submarine of PROSUB (Submarine Development Program) of the Brazilian Navy, took place on the morning of last Thursday (04/25).
The first section of the submarine Humaitá left the Metal Structures Manufacturing Unit (UFEM) and proceeded to the Construction Shipyard, ICN, both in Itaguaí-RJ.

At ICN, the structure will receive the installation of sensors and equipment, and all joining services to the other sections will be performed, which are expected to be completed and transferred by the end of June this year.
The plan is for four more sections to be transferred for the complete assembly of the vessel’s hull at the shipyard in Itaguaí.

PROSUB

PROSUB plans to build four submarines powered by conventional propulsion (Diesel-electric) and one powered by Nuclear propulsion, the first of its kind to be manufactured in Brazil.
Humaitá is the second of the four and is expected to be ready by the end of 2022.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

NASA announces the first interplanetary nuclear spacecraft in history destined for Mars and technology created to usher in a new era in deep space exploration: meet the SR-1 Freedom, equipped with a fission reactor and three helicopters inspired by Ingenuity to map Martian ice.

With 93 companies selling armored vehicles, aircraft, and monitoring systems to 148 countries, Brazil’s defense industry is doubling exports and is on track to break all records in 2026.

Brazil and Sweden finalize a military agreement to jointly train pilots, share experiences with the Gripen fighter, and allow Swedish crews of the KC-390 to train on Brazilian soil over the next two years.

Scientists warn that Earth’s oxygen has an expiration date and that the Sun itself will be responsible for ending the air we breathe by making photosynthesis impossible in about one billion years.

Science reveals that the error in the expansion of the cosmos is not a measurement flaw, but rather a sign that the universe may be hiding new physics capable of changing everything we know.
