Researchers demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The low-cost device can be fabricated more quickly than traditional thrusters, potentially from on board a ...

NASA’s latest generation of 3D printed rocket engines is not just a materials experiment, it is a direct assault on the cost structure that has defined spaceflight for decades. By combining advanced ...

At IIT Madras Research Park, Agnikul Cosmos is building rocket engines and even custom machines using additive manufacturing.

NASA's Reactive Additive Manufacturing for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (RAMFIRE) project test-fired a 3D-printed engine nozzle at Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama. See the test in ...

When the Orion spacecraft carries the first Artemis crews to the moon and back, it will rely on the European Service Module contributed by ESA (European Space Agency) to make the journey. The service ...

Looking to the future, NASA is investigating several technologies that will allow it to accomplish some bold objectives. This includes returning to the moon, creating the infrastructure that will let ...

Printing a model jet engine is quite an accomplishment. But it wasn’t enough for [linus3d]. He wanted to redesign it to have a turbojet, an afterburner, and a variable exhaust nozzle. You can see how ...

Scientific progress doesn't continue apace without some weird people testing out some weird ideas. In a test from the Project Farm, the hypothesis of whether a 3D-printed cylinder head would work was ...

Ever since SpaceX made reusability the most desirable trait of a spacefaring operation, all the companies working in this industry have shifted their attention toward making hardware that can fly to ...

Many firsts: The Agnikul mission was packed with multiple firsts that have significant implications both for India and the world. It marked the country's inaugural rocket launch from a privately owned ...

(Nanowerk News) An electrospray engine applies an electric field to a conductive liquid, generating a high-speed jet of tiny droplets that can propel a spacecraft. These miniature engines are ideal ...
