BEIJING, June 1 (Xinhua) -- China has completed one more trial of a test stand for large-thrust liquid rocket engines that could power its future crewed lunar missions.

The remote test stand, the largest in Asia, is designed to handle very high-thrust engine tests. China has completed a stand for testing huge rocket engines that could power the country's moon ...

NASA and Northrop Grumman successfully tested the most powerful segmented solid rocket motor ever created at Promontory Point on Thursday. It will eventually power missions to the moon and beyond.

The historic flight took place on June 17 at the Honda facility in Taiki Town, Hiroo District, Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan, ...

What that means is that the cone at the rocket's top, essentially its payload fairing, featured a series of inlets for air to get in as the rocket ascended through the atmosphere. The stuff got ...

Each of these stands 177 ft (54 m) tall — about the height of a 17-story building — and is capable of delivering 3.6 million pounds (1.6 million kg) of thrust, according to NASA.
