After a rocket uses up its fuel, the tank generally lingers behind, either plummeting back to Earth or floating through space for eternity. Because the Ouroborous-3 burns most of its structure, ...

For a small rocket like the Vector-R, designed to deliver payloads of 26kg or less to low-Earth orbit for under $3 million, a fuel like propylene is essential, Garvey said.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A Purdue-related startup is developing a new rocket fuel formulation that could make rockets used in military and space applications, travel further, carry greater payloads and ...

But solid rocket fuel has one huge drawback: It can't be stopped and restarted. Once you ignite it, you have one burn. That's it. And that's a problem for avoiding debris.

After a rocket uses up its fuel, the tank generally just becomes dead weight, but a prototype rocket that burns its own fuselage as propellant could solve that problem. By Leah Crane.

To the upper right we have very pure potassium chlorate, so much so that it bursts into flames when mixed with sugar and catalyzed with some sulfuric acid. [Mr. Home Scientist] produced the KClO3 u… ...

Chinese astronauts have just created rocket fuel and oxygen in space using a new type of "artificial photosynthesis." The breakthrough technology, which used fairly basic equipment and minimal ...

What you will have just seen is not some strange atmospheric phenomenon, but a fuel dump from a U.S. Space Force (USSF) mission that launched earlier today on a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas ...

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.

In this sense, making fuel with low environmental impact means we can build a rocket with low environmental impact. In this way, we can build a new generation rocket system,” said Interstellar ...
