Eco-friendly alternatives to fossil fuels are venturing beyond Earth—and into space.

A research team presents an AI assessor for Hall-effect ion thrusters, the engines of satellites and space probes.

Let’s take a look at how ion thrusters work, and some of their interesting applications in the world of spacecraft! Chemical rocket engines provide huge thrust but are thirsty when it comes to fuel.

An curved arrow pointing right. NASA has released video of their new rocket thruster for its space launch system. The footage, from a test back in June, shows the thruster through a special camera ...

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 ...

The task of an high-altitude simulation test facility is ... on the structures is analyzed and the vacuum thrust is measured. The steam required to operate the vacuum system is provided by a total of ...

"The payloads will experience at least two minutes of lunar gravity forces, a first for New Shepard and made possible in part through support from NASA." ...

The in-house numerical simulation tool, developed to model plasma physics and thrust performance ... on the fourth flight of the KSLV-2 Nuri rocket.” This research was published online in ...
