Discover the SpaceX Raptor engine—a game-changing propulsion system that’s redefining space travel. With innovative full-flow ...

While NASA’s Artemis program may ultimately abandon the Space Launch System rocket, for now, Melbourne-based L3Harris is ...

Normally, rocket engines burn fuel in a combustion chamber in a steady, controlled process. RDREs use a continuous detonation wave that travels in a circle within a ring-shaped chamber, ...

The turbopump, which forces fuel into the combustion chamber at extreme pressures, epitomizes this challenge. Leap 71’s 28 kN test rig validates principles for larger designs, but scaling ...

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 ...

Spain’s Pangea Aerospace has raised a cool €23mn to develop 3D-printed aerospike rocket engines. ... very strong combustion chamber that can withstand the high heat and pressure,” said ...

While traditional power units have a maximum matter flow velocity of about 4.5 km/s due to fuel combustion conditions, the new plasma engine accelerates charged particles – electrons and protons ...

The AFRL contract will explore ‘digital engineering’ (DE) concepts related to Archimedes, Rocket Lab’s new oxidizer-rich staged combustion cycle rocket engine that will power the reusable ...

At 7.25 am, on August 24, 2024, India achieved yet another milestone in space tech, when its first hybrid rocket ‘RHUMI’ was launched from the country’s coast.

A version of this article appears in print on , Section A, Page 9 of the New York edition with the headline: Rocket Engine Explodes During a Test at a Remote Scottish Island Spaceport.

The rocket was supposed to lift off for the first time this year, but the launch has now been pushed to mid-2025, mostly on account of delays experienced with the development of the engine.
