BLT has developed and additively manufactured a copper inner wall liner for the thrust chamber of a rocket engine.

There never was a better time to do business in space exploration. One needs to look no further than the many space startups presently operating in this industry to realize that's so. Another proof of ...

Modern spaceflight rests on a deceptively simple idea: a machine that carries its own fuel and oxidizer, then hurls exhaust ...

Rocket combustion and heat transfer dynamics encompass a range of interlinked phenomena critical to the design and operation of modern rocket engines. The combustion process involves rapidly reacting ...

A new rocket propulsion technology demonstration has marked an important milestone, achieving “mainstage” or constant full-power performance for the first time. Called the Integrated Powerhead ...

The Earth is much larger than most people realize. You need to use engines if you want to efficiently navigate large sections of the planet. Everything from cars to planes relies on engines, but they ...

Alliant Techsystems recently demonstrated a critical capability of its liquid oxygen (LOX)/Methane rocket engine by igniting it in a vacuum chamber. The successful ignition test was designed to ...

The new design could help address the growing problem of space debris, with the rocket devouring itself before reaching orbit. Reading time 2 minutes A new rocket is designed for its own destruction, ...

Most aspects of a cylinder head are relatively straightforward and easily grasped. Valve size, deck thickness and combustion chamber volume are often topics of discussion and qualify the design's ...
