This significant system simplification further increases the safety and efficiency of the entire rocket engine system by reducing the requirements on the cooling system and the general complexity of ...

Last year at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, engineers conducted a hot fire test of the first full-scale rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE). This technology could provide high thrust ...

Despite being perhaps the pinnacle of human ingenuity and imagination, space exploration is a relatively conservative business, at least in one respect: once it's proven something works, the ...

As part of ESA's Future Launchers Preparatory Program (FLPP), the first phase of hot-fire tests has been completed on a new, variable-thrust rocket ... design of an overall throttleable flight engine.
