The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully developed a cutting-edge 10-tonne propellant mixer for solid motors, marking a significant leap forward in India’s space technology ...

ISRO scientists said solid propellants are the backbone of rocket motors and their production requires precise mixing of highly sensitive and hazardous ingredients. ISRO logo ...

ISRO has termed it a significant technological marvel. It added that the 10-tonne vertical mixer is the world's largest solid propellant mixing equipment.

[KoD] and [Navic] are building solid propellant motors using sugar and potassium nitrate. They cook up the two ingredients along with water and a bonding agent. They find that corn syrup is ...

Mixing of solid propellant for the SLS boosters and casting it in each of the ten segments for the second flight set is nearing completion as technicians put the final touches on the set for the ...

[Markus Bindhammer] worked out a way to make solid rocket propellant from newspaper. Judging from the test footage after the break the home made engines work great! There isn’t a long list of ...

which is why the vacuum casting system is suitable for mixing and casting substances over a wide viscosity range. The system can be controlled and monitored remotely so that solid propellant mixtures ...

Magdrive is working on three versions of its space thrusters, and because they run on solid metal, they might one day even be powered by space junk collected directly in orbit, turning it from threat ...
