It looks like metal art—but it's high-stakes rocket science. Discover NASA’s surprisingly elegant method for crafting ultra-strong combustion chambers.
Your cross-country flight may look different in the future. Venus Aerospace has created a jet engine that can reach ...
Supporting the experiments, numerical studies permit the theoretical transfer to transpiration cooling models of a 1:1 scale rocket engine combustion chamber. The goal is to apply transpiration ...
A combustion chamber for an engine, for instance, can be produced in less than a week compared to the months it used to take in traditional manufacturing. “When we look at the rocket engine ...
The Rutherford engine is a key component of the Electron rocket and is the first 3D-printed engine to reach space. The printer that makes it, oftentimes as tall as an NBA center, works with ...
While NASA’s Artemis program may ultimately abandon the Space Launch System rocket, for now, Melbourne-based L3Harris is ...
“Black Engine” is the name of a transpiration-cooled ceramic thrust chamber technology developed at DLR Institut of Structures and Design. Taking advantage of the favorable material properties of ...
The H3 rocket test machine No. 1, which was launched from the Tanegashima Space Center on March 7, 2023, had a problem with the ignition of the second stage engine, and a command destruction ...
Launcher Inc., a space launch startup that tested its 3D-printed rocket engines at Calverton, has been acquired by a California space station developer, the companies announced.
The researchers behind the design test-fired the prototype rocket engine at the MachLab facility at Machrihanish Airbase, producing 100 newtons of thrust in a series of controlled experiments. The ...
For an RS-25 engine test, liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen are mixed in the engine combustion chamber and ignited, which results in extremely high-temperature exhaust – up to 6,000 degrees ...
For comparison sake, the five engines of the first stage of the Saturn V rocket that powered the Apollo Moon exploration program pushed out the equivalent of 160 million horsepower. Photo: Stoke Space ...
