Composite propellant combustion represents a critical area of research, combining the complexities of chemical kinetics, fluid dynamics, and material science to understand and predict the performance ...

For dual-mode rocket engines to be successful, a propellant must function in both combustion and electric propulsion systems. Researchers have now used a salt-based propellant that had already been ...

Researchers are developing a new type of rocket propellant made of a frozen mixture of water and "nanoscale aluminum" powder that is more environmentally friendly than conventional propellants and ...

In smaller spacecraft such as CubeSat satellites, a salt-based monopropellant is showing promise. It can be used both in high-thrust chemical propulsion for fast time-sensitive maneuvers, and electric ...

A research team led by Professor Lee Anna in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology POSTECH said on the 28th that it developed a "zero carbon emission" ...

Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) successfully hot-fire tested a radically new type of rocket engine specifically designed to use oxygen and methane propellants that range from all-gas to ...

In space flight, propellants based on hydrazines are used, among other things, as standard for attitude and control regulation in spacecraft. Like the oxidizer dinitrogen tetroxide (NTO) used for this ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — When SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule splashed down off the Florida coast in August following its first crewed mission, the two astronauts inside could not exit the capsule ...

In order to replace conventional storable propellants, such as hydrazine-based propellants, alternative and advanced propellants are required which, in addition to the necessary performance ...

The technique of Interferometric Particle Imaging (IPI) has emerged as a critical approach for the measurement of droplet and particle size in a variety of scientific and industrial applications. By ...
