In order to be able to carry heavier payloads through deep space, NASA designed a lightweight rocket engine nozzle made of aluminum that can still withstand the heat of launches. NASA recently tested ...

NASA's Reactive Additive Manufacturing for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (RAMFIRE) project test-fired a 3D-printed engine ...

NASA recently built and tested an additively-manufactured—or 3D printed—rocket engine nozzle made of aluminum, making it lighter than conventional nozzles and setting the course for deep space flights ...

Sending rockets to the Moon, Mars, and beyond with humans on board boils down to essentially one thing: being capable of sending with them enough supplies to ensure survival. And that can only be done ...

The RAMFIRE nozzle performs a hot fire test at Marshall's East test area stand 115. The nozzle, made of the novel aluminum alloy 6061-RAM2, experiences huge temperature gradients. As hot gasses ...
