From the rocket launches of the 1970s up to Curiosity Mars Rover last year, spacecraft have used a fuel called hydrazine to propel them through space. In terms of raw power, hydrazine is highly ...

Is it possible to have an eco-conscious rocket? While that may seem like a laughable concept, NASA is testing new green propellants to replace hydrazine, the current toxic and corrosive standard ...

The SABRE air-breathing rocket engine is ready for a major round of testing in the next 18 months after passing a preliminary design review by the European Space Agency.

U.K. launch startup Skyrora has tested a new rocket engine that uses "greener" fuel in the form of waste plastic, as it moves towards its planned first orbital launch in 2022.

This is hydrazine, and it's the toxic, carcinogenic, potentially explosive chemical concoction powering satellites across the globe and beyond.

The US and European countries are planning to phase out the toxic hydrazine fuel used for satellites. Manastu Space has ...

A SpaceX Raptor rocket engine exploded during a recent test, joining a long line of fellow Elon Musk-manufactured spacecrafts that have blown up.

A mission to test the new fuel for the first time is one of the payloads that will be lifted into orbit by the Falcon Heavy rocket slated to launch from Kennedy Space Center at 11:30 p.m. Monday ...

Research is being conducted worldwide on environmentally friendly alternatives to the toxic hydrazine (N2H4) which is a commonly used propellant for spacecraft. Various alternatives with different ...

The GPIM initiative aims to demonstrate that a green fuel with nearly 50 percent better performance than hydrazine could power Earth-circling satellites and eventually deep space missions.

The Little Green Giant To be clear, AF-M315E isn’t intended to replace hydrazine in hypergolic engines like those on the SpaceX Crew Dragon.
