The scientists expect the engine to have a thrust of around 6 ... for using electric nuclear propulsion (NEP), using a nuclear power reactor to power electric ion thrusters - ionising a gas ...

A UK startup has unveiled a new fusion-powered space rocket concept called Sunbird for interplanetary travel to Mars — and beyond.

"For missions that could last years, [electric propulsion] thrusters must operate smoothly ... their behavior in an ion-engine plume must first be understood, which is where Cui and Joseph Wang ...

Scientists have toyed with the idea of nuclear rockets since the 1950s. Will they finally become a reality? UK startup Pulsar ...

One form of propulsion ... and engine speed as well (it cuts off at particular revs). The Honda PCX Hybrid takes what the Yamaha Fascino does a step further. It has a separate Li-ion battery ...

On the face of things, not much, but after seeing [Zachary Tong]’s latest video on liquid metal ion thrusters, we see that they seem to have a lot more in common than we’d initially thought.

Orbital mobility took center-stage in the space industry last year, with venture capitalists funneling massive sums into ...

Researchers demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The low-cost device can be fabricated more quickly than traditional thrusters, potentially from on board ...

Gaslog, owner, operator and manager of 35 LNG carriers and one FSRU, has selected Propulsion Analytics to develop a customized version of the Engine Hyper Cube platform tailored specifically for ...

It allows maximum maneuverability, high propulsion power, and precise positioning. The thruster will be equipped with an 8-degree tilted propeller shaft, which reduces the interaction between the ...
