Boron-based solid propellants have attracted considerable attention due to boron’s exceptional volumetric and gravimetric calorific values, which are critical for high-energy propulsion systems.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A Purdue-related startup is developing a new rocket fuel formulation that could make rockets used in military and space applications, travel further, carry greater payloads and ...
It may be tough to believe, but solid propellants have been used in rockets since at least the 13th century, beginning with the Chinese. Now, Purdue University researchers are exploring several ...
Fascination surrounding spaceflight and rockets is at an all-time high. Sites near launchpads draw crowds of spectators, eager to witness the flash of fire and feel the vibrations as the rumble of the ...
Electric solid propellants are being explored for use in dual-mode rocket engines because they aren't susceptible to ignite from a spark or flame and can be turned on and off electrically. Researchers ...
A ‘self-eating’ rocket engine which could place small satellites in orbit more easily and more affordably is under development at universities in Scotland and Ukraine. Engineers from the University of ...
Chinese space engineers have conducted the first ignition test of China’s most powerful solid-propellant rocket engine, which will be used on new-generation rockets, according to the Academy of ...
A rocket using the new vortex fuel technology carried out a test flight in October. Photo: Orbitec Since the early days of modern rocketry, with the pioneering work of Robert H. Goddard in the ...
