Leap 71 is developing AI to build rocket engines faster and cheaper than ever before. SpaceX owns 98% of global rocket launches, a monopoly with virtually no competition. Only China is competing ...

Engineers have identified a 'very unusual' oxygen fire in a turbopump as the reason a rocket engine exploded during a test at the spaceport in Shetland earlier this week.

Space exploration is powered by technological innovation, the joy of discovery, and some of the most powerful engines ever created by humankind.

For a liquid-fueled rocket engine to work, you need to pump the fuel and oxidizer into the combustion chamber at the right quantity, pressure, and ratio. Handling this task is a turbopump, which ...

Before these system tests, the JD-2 engine had been rigorously tested in various stages, including torch ignition, gas generator ignition, combined gas generator and turbopump testing, thrust ...

Following an initial review of video footage and additional data on the devastating fire outbreak during the ignition of the first stage engines of the RFA One small rocket in Scotland last week ...

The F-1's 2,500-pound turbopump pumped in the propellants at 42,500 gallons per minute. This engine was constructed in 1963 by the Rocketdyne Division of Rockwell International and underwent four ...

Firefighters have extinguished a fire at a South Korean space centre during a test of a turbopump that feeds propellants to rocket engines, South Korea's science ministry said on Wednesday.

The F-1's 2,500 pound turbopump pumped in the propellants at 42,500 gallons per minute. This pump was donated to the Smithsonian in 1975 by the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center.

While rocket launches will remain the realm of energetic chemical-based rockets, some spacecraft have swapped to more efficient, low-thrust forms of propulsion like the ion engine.

The American space program is reviving the dream of nuclear-powered rockets to take humans to Mars, a technology in the making for 50 years.
