We are fascinated by the hybrid rocket engine which [Ben Krasnow] built and ... We’re already quite familiar with solid rocket propellant, but this hybrid approach is much different.

Liquid fuelled engines are throttleable and monstrously powerful, but highly complex. Meanwhile, solid rocket engines are simple and cheap, but once you light them, they’re going full-bore until ...

Bengaluru: In an advancement for India's space technology sector, IISc-incubated startup SpaceFields successfully completed ...

India's IISc-incubated startup SpaceFields has successfully tested its innovative aerospike solid rocket engine, showcasing a ...

Solid rocket boosters are sometimes used to give ... low-thrust forms of propulsion like the ion engine. For instance, NASA's recent Dawn mission to study the dwarf planet Ceres relied on ion ...

Firehawk’s key innovation is 3D-printed solid rocket propellant that is cheaper and faster to make than traditional propellant. Rocket engine propellant — used for missiles and space rockets ...

"We have had a very detailed analysis of the maiden flight and obviously discovered a few anomalies and things that need to ...

Like liquid rocket engines, hybrid rocket motors can be shut down easily and the thrust is throttleable. The theoretical specific impulse (Isp) performance of hybrids is generally higher than solid ...

In both instances, the engines performed nominally, even demonstrating that they could compensate for eventualities: When one of Vulcan's solid rocket boosters had an anomaly on the second flight ...

China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) completed five engine tests on Thursday in Beijing and Laiyuan, ...
