However, when applied over a great deal of time in the vacuum of space, it can lead to a huge change in velocity, or delta V. This manner of operation means that an ion thruster and a small mass ...

And potentially outside the atmosphere, to wit: we present his reaction control gas thruster-controlled drone. Before anyone gets too excited, [Tom] isn’t building drones for use in a vacuum ...

Electrospray (ES) thrusters generate low thrust via the electrostatic extraction ... ILs additionally exhibit low vapor pressure that allow for exposure in vacuum conditions. Though ionic liquid ion ...

From outside, there’s little to suggest that this is the birthplace of a remarkable piece of technology bound for the International Space Station (ISS) in the coming months. The building is home to ...

This German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) large-scale facility enables experiments on chemical thrusters under space-like vacuum conditions. The aim of the ...
