US engineers 3D-print tiny coin-sized engines to steer small satellites in spaceThis 3D printing technology could allow astronauts to manufacture satellite engines in space, eliminating the need for Earth-based launches.
To be sure, [Zach]’s efforts here didn’t result in a practical ion thruster, but that wasn’t the point. We suspect the idea here was to explore the real-world applications for his interests ...
The MAN B&W range of MC crosshead two-stroke engines covers the widest range of cylinder sizes (from 260mm to 900mm) and unit outputs (2,200 to 51,840 kW/2,960 to 70,440 hp) available from a ...
An electrospray engine applies an electric field to a conductive liquid – generating a high-speed jet of tiny droplets that can propel a spacecraft. These miniature engines are ideal for small ...
The task of the innovative enterprise will be the mass production of propulsion systems, including plasma ones, designed for small spacecraft – nano- and microsatellites (CubeSat format ... Laboratory ...
