Self-evidently, the design they propose requires both fuel and oxidant to be solid. Solid-fuelled rockets are common in military applications, such as intercontinental ballistic missiles, but are ...

Change the tank design to accommodate four of the solid booster rockets. Another idea would be to add two smaller solid rockets to boost the empty external tank into orbit.

Engineers didn't immediately acknowledge the issue during that broadcast, apart from one controller uttering "Whoa," followed by an audible gasp. The company later confirmed a problem occurred late in ...

Florida-based Rocket Crafters, Inc. (RCI) has been awarded a patent for a method of fuelling hybrid liquid/solid rockets using 3D printing technology. The company claims that the process ensures ...

Hybrid rocket fuel research by mechanical engineers could hasten the day when a simpler, safer hybrid engine propels space missions. Hybrid rocket fuel research being done by a University of ...

Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory recently flight tested a new solid-fuel rocket motor design at the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center’s Socorro launch site.

In the rolling hills of Santa Clara County, 60 miles southeast of San Francisco, a man-made volcano erupted. A brilliant flame spewed 200 ft. in the air, and a screaming roar rolled across the ...
