New Frontier Aerospace says it has put its 3D-printed Mjölnir rocket engine through a series of successful hot-fire tests.
Joe Barnard (or BPS.Space) and Aryan Kapoor are two model rocket enthusiasts who’ve spent years working to advance the hobby with innovative ways to precisely steer model rockets and land them ...
There is a reason building a rocket engine is harder than most things you want to build. If you are building, say, a car, your goal is to not have it explode. If you are building a bomb, you want t… ...
Modern rockets, which use a liquid or solid fuel, didn't come into being until a scientist named Dr. Robert H. Goddard developed and launched the first liquid-fueled rocket on March 16, 1926.
Or, if you prefer the flash without the flame, SpaceX is also offering a $300 Starship chrome-plated model that reproduces the major details of the spacecraft, including its six (inert) rocket ...
Joe Barnard, creator of the Youtube channel BPS.Space was inspired by SpaceX’s success with the real-world landing of Falcon 9, and decided to build a working model of a landable rocket.

With the press of a button, weeks of hard work flew high into the sky. The first rocket soared up to nearly 200 feet in the sky in a matter of seconds, with a trail of smoke behind it. Once it ...
Researchers develop a model to describe the interaction between a rocket plume and the surface of a planetary body in near-vacuum conditions. The computational framework takes in information about ...
The company was formed back in 2020 with the goal of making a sort of mutant rocket engine that pairs the benefits of a rotating detonation design (RDRE) with those of a ramjet.
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.
