the replacement of liquid rocket fuel indicates that older types of rockets may have been targeted by the thieves. Modern models use solid fuel, a safer and more efficient option for daily rocket ...

This is not the only potential application, however. Because solid-fuel rockets are cheaper than liquid-fuel rockets, the new engine could drastically cut the cost of sending rockets into space, which ...

For nearly a year, SpaceX has been trying out something new: super-cooling the liquid oxygen (LOX) which is a key ingredient in rocket fuel. It's called deep-cryo LOX, and the idea has been around ...

This liquid rocket fuel becomes magnetised when near a magnetic field. So it dances and morphs when magnets are moved around it. It is called ferrofluid and it was invented by NASA's Steve Papell ...

That is more than four times as powerful as the liquid fuel engine on the Long ... mobility and near-instant launch capability, solid-fuel rockets are mainly used to deliver missiles or on other ...
