A new propulsion system feeds the same "monopropellant" fuel into electrical and chemical thrusters, potentially saving on ...
Engineers at MIT have successfully tested a hybrid propulsion system for small satellites that combines the raw punch of ...
Imperial College is developing a rocket thruster called the Iridium Catalysed Electrolysis CubeSat Thruster (ICE-Cube Thruster) that is so small that it can only be fabricated using techniques ...
A Hall thruster is a high-efficiency propulsion device using plasma that is used for various difficult space missions, such as SpaceX's constellation satellites, Starlink and NASA's asteroid probe, ...
It sounds like a NASA pipe dream: a new spacecraft thruster that’s up to 40 percent more power efficient than today’s. Even better, its fuel costs less than a thousandth as much and weighs an eighth ...
NASA’s new electric propulsion engine set a U.S. power record and could transform future Mars missions. The thrusters use much less fuel than chemical rockets while gradually reaching extremely high ...
