hydrogen peroxide fuel comes in at around $10.36 per kilogram, while hydrazine topped the cost chart at around $75.8/kg.

NASA’s DART mission wasn’t designed to study—it was designed to hit. A 570 kg spacecraft, no bigger than a fridge, ...

Each Voyager carries a set of primary roll thrusters and an identical backup set. Voyager 1’s primaries stopped firing in 2004 when two tiny heater circuits lost power, preventing the hydrazine fuel ...

meaning we can use pure hydrazine for normal (monopropellant) thrusters. … But then we actually use the decomposed gases to get the high efficiency performance,” he said, adding that Agile is ...

Tomorrow’s Motion GmbH (TOMO) is developing a propulsion technology that aims to change how satellites move in space. Rather than relying on chemical propellants, the system employs electromagnetic ...

Using their Maxwell Block III, Phase Four meets electric propulsion performance for a variety of mission profiles, using either ASCENT or hydrazine chemical propellants. Phase Four anticipates ...

To fuel the thrusters, liquid hydrazine is converted into gas and released in about 40 short puffs per day to keep Voyager 1 oriented correctly. Over time, engineers discovered that a fuel tube ...

After weeks of careful planning, the team switched the spacecraft to a different set of thrusters. The thrusters are fueled by liquid hydrazine, which is turned into gases and released in ...

After 47 years it’s little wonder that the hydrazine-powered thrusters of the Voyager 1, used to orient the spacecraft in such a way that its 3.7 meter (12 foot) diameter antenna always points ...

"The clogging reduces how efficiently the thrusters can generate force." When operational, the liquid hydrazine thruster should release tiny, extremely short puffs of gas in order to adjust the ...

Could HTP thrusters finally take off? The New Zealand research partnership looking at an alternative to the dangers posed by hydrazine THERE’S a particularly great scene in The Martian (2015), ...
