Quick answers
Why is "AI actually flying on spacecraft today is a narrow fix for one physical problem," trending?
Because 5 independent news sources published 5 articles about it in a short window — a coverage burst PULSE classifies as a trend.
How does PULSE measure this trend?
PULSE scores velocity from the rate of new articles weighted by source diversity, snapshotted hourly. The full method is public on our methodology page.
Is this trend still active?
The status badge on this page updates hourly: rising, peaking, cooling, or archived once coverage stops for 48 hours.
