under that jet-black outer skin is some of the most revolutionary rocket technology seen since the V-2 first proved practical liquid fueled rockets were possible. As impressive as its been ...

Tense, public squabbles between SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and NASA have stirred the space industry, but behind the scenes, space ...

Liquid-fuelled rocket engine design has largely followed a simple template since the development of the German V-2 rocket in the middle ... more thrust from less fuel. We’ll dive into how ...

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 ...

The rockets are expensive, whether they use liquid or solid fuel ... can push an airplane forward just as efficiently as a fuel-burning rocket, and much more cheaply. When electricity is used ...

The Falcon 9 rocket will be fueled until liftoff ... the ground systems are ready to load the IM-2 spacecraft properly with liquid oxygen and liquid methane, and we’re really ready to go ...

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 ...

The principles of rocket design have stayed true for nearly a century to those of the American inventor Robert H. Goddard, who launched the world’s first liquid fueled rocket in 1926.

Update 6:35 p.m.: SpaceX was tasked with fueling the IM-2 lander, Athena, before liftoff with liquid oxygen and liquid methane. That fueling started three hours ago, and is now complete! The Falcon 9 ...
