Jet engines are relatively simple in their basic design, but advancements in gas turbine engine technology have mostly done away with the cool-looking bucket-type reverse thrust systems. These thrust ...

A form of electric propulsion known as Hall thrusters — a type of ion thruster — may actually pack more bang for the buck than expected. Hall thrusters have conventionally been used to adjust the ...

Phase Four says it has built and tested a next-generation radio-frequency thruster for spacecraft that equals the performance of a Hall-effect thruster. The achievement, demonstrated over several ...

Kongsberg Maritime has announced the introduction of two new sizes to its Underwater Mountable, Permanent Magnet (UUC PM) azimuth thruster range, expanding its offering for propulsion solutions for ...

Kongsberg Maritime announced the launch of its new Tunnel Thruster type TTH, the Harmonised series, setting new standards in performance and reliability with a compact, modular design that allows for ...

Orbion Space Technologies, a company promising better propulsion technology for small satellites, successfully raised $9.2M in a Series A round late last month, led by Material Impact. The money will ...

Elon Musk has said that Tesla will offer a special option with SpaceX cold gas thrusters on the upcoming Roadster. So, why not calculate the improvement in zero-to-60-mph time? Musk said: “Will use ...

The Voyager 1 spacecraft has been cruising through the cosmos for 47 years, collecting precious data beyond the solar system. All that interstellar travel, however, is taking its toll on the probe.
