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 ...

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 ...

Engineers at the facility fired the 3D-printed Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) for a record 251 seconds with 5,800 lb (2,631 kg) of thrust ... in their basic design since the days ...

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.

At least, that’s the case with Seattle-based New Frontier Aerospace’s (NFA) Mjölnir engine. The Mjölnir is a full-flow, 3D-printed engine whose high weight-to-thrust ratio means its could be ...

China has completed a liquid propulsion system test for its new launch vehicle, Kinetica-2, marking a notable step toward its ...

China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, the country's major space contractor, conducted a major test on a new type of rocket engine on Sunday, creating the most thrust ever recorded in tests ...

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 ...
