When it comes to moving around, most things rely on pushing against the ground or the air or the water, so how do rockets do it in outer space?

NASA has three different configurations planned for the SLS. The first configuration, Block 1, will have a total thrust of 8.8 million pounds—15 percent more than that of the Saturn V rocket.

While NASA’s Artemis program may ultimately abandon the Space Launch System rocket, for now, Melbourne-based L3Harris is pushing forward with the manufacture of the powerful rocket’s ...

The 33 engines at the base of the Super Heavy booster on SpaceX's Starship – the largest rocket to ever take off – produce more than 74MN of thrust.On paper at least, it should be louder than ...

The new booster is is scheduled to launch on the ninth Artemis lunar mission in the 2030s — but there's a chance that it will ...

This means that it will have a constant magnitude thrust and always point directly away from the center of mass for the rocket. So, if the rocket rotates, the thrust force will also point in a ...

The thrust chamber assembly fired 19 times for 450 seconds (about 7.5 minutes) at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama — a common location for developing rocket technology.

Flying a thrust-vectoring rocket can be a challenge, and even more so if you stack multiple stages and a minimalist flight computer on top of it all. But [Joe Barnard] is not one to shy away from s… ...

The methane-burning BE-4s, each one generating 550,000 pounds of thrust, continued boosting the rocket out of the lower atmosphere for another three minutes or so before shutting down.
