Modern spaceflight rests on a deceptively simple idea: a machine that carries its own fuel and oxidizer, then hurls exhaust ...

A US-based propulsion company has successfully launched and flown a new rocket powered by a unique rotating detonation engine. Although relatively small by rocket standards, the test could pave the ...

Rocket technology predates space exploration by almost a thousand years, and although today's computerized multi-ton launch vehicles are a lot more capable than 11th-century gunpowder-assisted arrows, ...

A new type of rocket engine, one that could power a plane from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours, has eluded scientists for decades. Houston’s Venus Aerospace says it recently solved the puzzle.

In what may be a world first, Venus Aerospace has, for the first time in the US, successfully flown a Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) that uses supersonic explosions to create thrust. Such ...

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – In December, NASA will begin testing core components of a rocket engine from the Apollo era. Data from the tests will help NASA build the next generation engine that will power the ...

Russia’s space agency Roscosmos is in talks with Indian officials about selling its rocket engines to India and licensing ...

Work to develop a reusable engine for European rockets is progressing, with full ignition of an early prototype of Prometheus. These images were taken on 22 June 2023 at ArianeGroup’s test facility in ...

There never was a better time to do business in space exploration. One needs to look no further than the many space startups presently operating in this industry to realize that's so. Another proof of ...

The reusability of different parts of a space rocket has opened the doors to a literal flood of launches to Earth orbit and beyond. Thanks to the fact that space companies now no longer have to make a ...

McGREGOR, Texas (KWTX) - Some parade goers got a rare glimpse into the work of SpaceX after two rocket engines were paraded through the streets of downtown McGregor, just a few miles from the SpaceX ...

There is a reason building a rocket engine is harder than most things you want to build. If you are building, say, a car, your goal is to not have it explode. If you are building a bomb, you want that ...
