In theory, water-based propulsion systems are a low-cost, safer alternative to conventional engines. Water is easier to handle and transport and doesn’t carry the same risks as toxic propellants. The ...
Russian researchers now claim they can shorten the journey to 30 days using an engine that turns hydrogen into a high-speed ...
Artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping how rockets fly, how spacecraft sip propellant and how engineers think about the leap to nuclear propulsion. What began as a set of algorithms for ...
(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.) (THE CONVERSATION) Every year, companies and space agencies launch hundreds of rockets ...
Plasma propulsion transforms an inert propellant – often hydrogen – into plasma, a superheated mix of ions and electrons.
Plasma engines could be the future of human space travel, and Russia’s “manetoplasma rockets” have the most ambitious travel goals ...
How can nuclear propulsion help improve deep space missions by significantly reducing the amount of time to reach Mars and beyond? This is what a recent study published in Acta Astronautica hopes to ...
UAE's Technology Innovation Institute successfully fired a homegrown hybrid rocket 3km above the desert, marking the nation's ...
