In a groundbreaking development, Ohio State University has unveiled a new concept for nuclear thermal propulsion that could significantly cut down travel time to Mars. Building on past space ...

If we achieve advanced nuclear, antimatter propulsion or other advance propulsion it would be possible to achieve near constant acceleration. This would enable travel times to Mars in the 3-8 day ...

In recent months, Iranian drone and missile attacks have pushed U.S. and allied aircrews to operate at the edge of their range and survivability. The next crisis, whether in the Persian Gulf, the Red ...

How can fission-powered propulsion help advance deep space exploration, specifically to the outer planets like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune? This is what a recent study presented at the 56th ...

It has long become obvious that if we are to expand our reach into the solar system, the current means of propulsion for spaceships would simply not do. With such goals set for the near future, the ...

At the heart of these systems is the catalyst: a highly specialized material that decomposes hydrazine within milliseconds, ...

Electrohydrodynamic propulsion systems utilise the interaction between high electric fields and fluid media to generate thrust without traditional moving parts. By applying a high voltage to ...

Electric propulsion can benefit the deployment of large payloads for orbit transfer. The mass and volume saved by using an electric propulsion system allows for the use of smaller launch vehicles or ...
