3I/ATLAS speeding across the solar system toward a vortex in deep space

3I/ATLAS: A Cosmic Visitor or Something More?

What We Know (and What We Don’t) About 3I/ATLAS

The universe occasionally throws us a curveball and in the case of 3I/ATLAS, that curve is coming from outside our solar system.

Officially classified as the third known interstellar object ever detected, 3I/ATLAS is hurtling through space on a hyperbolic path that confirms one thing for certain: it’s not from around here. So, what can it be?

At PRV Engineering, we’re not astronomers or a space agency, but we do support the aerospace sector with high-precision engineering and fabrication. And when interstellar anomalies like this hit the headlines, it’s not just science fiction fans who pay attention but also engineers, physicists, and futurists alike.

So, what is 3I/ATLAS? Here’s what we know, what we don’t, and the theories (mainstream, speculative, and wild) that surround this cosmic visitor.

What Is Deep Hole Drilling And How Does It Work?

Deep hole drilling is a machining process that can produce holes up to ten times deeper than the diameter of the hole and is suitable for a variety of metals, including the strongest of superalloys. Deep hole drilling services require special tools and setups to deliver high-pressure coolant, cleanly evacuate chips and reach the depth-to-diameter. Deep hole drilling, also known as gun drilling, is a highly-specialised machining operation that only a few engineering companies can perform, including PRV Engineering. Here is a closer look at some of the processes, applications and pros and cons.
