While scientists have toyed with the idea of using AF-MPD thrusters since the 1970s, the Paihau-Robinson team believes it could b ...

Getting that fuel into orbit is costly, too! Ion thrusters, in their various forms, offer an alternative solution – miniscule thrust, but high fuel efficiency. This tiny push won’t get you off ...

Wendy Laursen with the lowdown on the new Charybdis, the first-ever Jones Act compliant offshore wind turbine installation ...

Electrospray (ES) thrusters generate low thrust via the electrostatic extraction of charged species from an electrified liquid. These systems are characterized by the propellant used and emission mode ...

The testing of these kinds of innovative thrusters requires techniques that differ from those used with conventional chemical propulsion systems. For this reason, the German Aerospace Center ...

Spokesman-Review reporter Nick Gibson is in Florida this week to report on Anne McClain's and NASA's SpaceX launch from the Kennedy Space Center. Follow along in print and online at ...

You’ve got to hand it to [Tom Stanton] – he really thinks outside the box. And potentially outside the atmosphere, to wit: we present his reaction control gas thruster-controlled drone.

This German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) large-scale facility enables experiments on chemical thrusters under space-like vacuum conditions. The aim of the ...

11 to supply monopropellant thrusters to MaiaSpace, a French startup backed by ArianeGroup that is developing a reusable small launch vehicle. Arkadia Space will supply 250-newton thrusters ...

Through its WET (Water-Based Electric Thrusters) Project, the University of Bologna will be developing a new electric thruster for rockets that is propelled by water being turned into plasma ...
