Model rocket enthusiasts are learning how to do vertical landings. Two hobbyists show how they can pull off SpaceX’s trick at a smaller scale with custom hardware and a few years of effort.

It took SpaceX years to successfully pull off the first vertical landing for its reusable Falcon 9 rocket. Since then, model rocket designers have attempted to recreate the feat—with Joe Barnard ...

The 156-foot-long five-segment solid rocket motor produced upwards of 4 million pounds of thrust during the test.

NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) is ready to fly with its four shuttle-era engines. The rocket, outfitted with the RS-25 ...

A high school student has completed an ambitious project after three years of work: creating a model rocket that lands vertically. Student Aryan Kapoor began work on his own vertical lander back ...

How rocket engines work is basically a matter of producing tremendous amounts of thrust, which is what gets them off the ground in the first place and then continues to propel them through the air.

An artificial intelligence engineer called Noyron has successfully designed, manufactured, and tested one of the most challenging rocket engines in the aerospace industry: a cryogenic aerospike ...
