How NASA Reinvented the Rocket Engine
NASA has just tested a game-changing rocket engine that could revolutionize space travel. The Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) uses supersonic shockwaves to create a more efficient combustion cycle, ...
SpaceX has shared dramatic footage and images of its Super Heavy booster firing up ahead of its eighth test flight.
The tests involved two 120-tonne liquid oxygen-kerosene rocket engines and one 18-tonne liquid oxygen-kerosene rocket engine. The institute noted that this marks a major advancement in the country ...
Since then all the advances have been in making rockets larger and more efficient through innovations peripheral to the rocket engine itself. There are alternatives to chemical rockets ...
Here’s how it works. Rocket Lab launched five "Internet of Things" satellites on Saturday (Feb. 8). A 59-foot-tall (18 meters) Electron rocket carrying five spacecraft for the French company ...
At 2:03 a.m. Eastern time, seven powerful engines ignited at the base of a 320-foot-tall rocket named New Glenn. The flames illuminated night into day at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
The vehicle's first stage will land vertically, similar to a Falcon 9 rocket, and the second stage, which has a novel metallic heat shield and engine design, will also land back on Earth.
