The aerospike has been considered as a replacement for the bell-shaped nozzle rocket engine for nearly 70 years. The ...

Now open, The Gantry at LC-39 offers more than a close up view of the launch pads. See a preview of this new KSC VC bus tour ...

The first stepping stone vehicle would be the "Launcher Light" rocket, with a single first-stage engine, ready for flight by 2024 with a capacity of 150kg to low-Earth orbit.

As the engine heats up, it melts the rocket's supporting structure made of a plastic tube and burns it too. By burning this plastic, the rocket gains an additional 5 to 16 percent of fuel.

These are the 15 most powerful rocket engines of all time, each ordered by their thrust at sea level. Because, it turns out that the thrust you get in the vacuum of space is different to that on ...

The aerospike engine—specifically the conical aerospike—looks quite similar to a conventional rocket and functions using largely the same principle: exchanging thermal energy for kinetic energy.

The 10-foot-high Raptor—which powers the Starship—is arguably the most advanced Western rocket engine in production. Its latest iteration produces 280 tonnes of thrust at sea level, surpassing ...

Ursa Major has designed several rocket engines that are, at least, 80 percent manufactured via 3D printing. The company has multiple contracts with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, ...

In a feat that tracks the concept of "baby steps," on Aug. 23, SpaceX rival Rocket Lab (RKLB-8.13%), the second most frequent launcher of rockets in the United States, launched to orbit an ...

Liquid-fuelled rocket engine design has largely followed a simple template since the development of the German V-2 rocket in the middle of World War 2. Propellant and oxidizer are mixed in a combus… ...
