An ant just hauled an elephant across the battlefield. In a surprising technological demonstration, ...

L3Harris has taken a significant step toward advancing next-generation propulsion technology for future offensive ...

Space has a trash problem, with defunct satellites, rockets, and smaller broken bits orbiting Earth at high speeds. The amount of space junk is only increasing, raising the risk of collision with ...

There are many wonderful places we’d like to visit in the universe, and probably untold numbers more that we haven’t even seen or heard of yet. Unfortunately…they’re all so darn far away. A ...

In the outer reaches of our solar system, far beyond the orbit of Pluto, lies Sedna, one of the most mysterious objects ever discovered. This reddish dwarf planet follows such an extreme orbit that it ...

Marine technology firm Wartsila will supply propulsion systems for nine new ferry vessels being built for the Grimaldi Group.

L3Harris Technologies recently broke ground on two new facilities at its Arkansas Advanced Propulsion Facilities campus in ...

H55 today announced the delivery of certification-grade propulsion battery modules to Pratt & Whitney Canada in support of ...

Electric (plasma) propulsion devices have been used for applications such as station-keeping and orbit transfer, in place of chemical rockets, because they provide a higher specific impulse. Detailed ...

Ion thrusters are the most common primary engine powering satellites through orbital maneuvers today. But to travel from low-Earth orbit (LEO) to farther orbits—or even the Moon—requires a different ...

Matter-antimatter annihilations produce about 10 billion times more energy per unit mass than chemical combustion (which powers most operational spacecraft propulsion systems) and about 300 times more ...
