Here’s how it works: Essentially, the rocket has to make thrust – that is, create force – by burning propellant to make hot gases. Then it shoots those hot gases out of a nozzle. It’s sort ...
This is thanks to a revolutionary innovation: the propellant-less rocket! Spearheaded by a NASA veteran, Dr. Charles Buhler, this incredible technology has been dubbed the “Exodus Effect“.
A propellant leak was to blame for the upper stage of a Falcon 9 rocket crashing to Earth over Europe last week, SpaceX says. The Falcon 9 launched on Feb. 1 from California, carrying 22 Starlink ...
We’re already quite familiar with solid rocket propellant, but this hybrid approach is much different. When a rocket motor using solid propellant is lit it continues to burn until all of the ...
A propellant mixer is a machine that mixes the ingredients of rocket propellants, specifically fuel and oxidiser, to ensure a uniform and reliable mixture for solid rocket motors. These mixers ...
