If we’re going to leave our solar system within a human lifetime, fusion propulsion is the technology to make it happen.” With these words from Pulsar Fusion’s CEO Richard Dinan, the race to Sedna a ...

Imagine the world’s most essential chemical could be made anywhere, from a bit more than air and electricity. In a Sydney ...

The U.S. Space Force tested a new propulsion system designed for satellites that will keep tabs on spacecraft and other objects near the moon.

Ion thrusters are an amazing spacecraft propulsion technology, providing very high efficiency with relatively little fuel. Yet getting one to produce more thrust than that required to lift a sheet … ...

Russia's Rosatom is developing a plasma electric rocket engine that could drastically reduce travel time to Mars, potentially making the journey in 30 to 60 days.

UK clean space propulsion systems and services company Pulsar Fusion has formed a partnership with USA-based Princeton Satellite Systems to use artificial intelligence to design a hyper-fast space ...

Satellites can stay in orbit for a long time if they use thrusters to avoid orbital decay, but fuel is heavy and expensive. NASA has a better idea instead.

Pulsar Fusion, UK aerospace company, has successfully tested its large-scale plasma engine designed for propelling larger satellites.

Japan has awarded Tokyo-based small satellite thruster developer Pale Blue a grant worth up to $27 million to upgrade its water-based propulsion technology for larger spacecraft.

NASA/JPL-Caltech Ion thrusters use high electric voltages to make a plasma (the fourth state of matter) and spew ions into space.

An ion engine is a type of rocket engine that employs a method called electric propulsion. It ionizes and accelerates air or gas by electric discharge, and converts it into thrust. Engineer and ...
