The chemical reaction taking place in most rockets has the same constituent elements as a fire—there's fuel, an oxidizer, and an ignition source. The problem with traveling high into the ...
"It shouldn't be a surprise or anything — one of the principles of warfare is maneuver." American researchers aim for nuclear ...
This relatively long transit time is a result of the use of traditional chemical rocket fuel. An alternative technology to the chemically propelled rockets the agency develops now is called ...
But these rockets must carry oxygen with them into space, which can weigh them down. Unlike chemical propulsion systems, nuclear thermal propulsion systems rely on nuclear fission reactions to ...
This relatively long transit time is a result of the use of traditional chemical rocket fuel. An alternative technology to ...
It will be the first to bring fast chemical rockets together with efficient electric propulsion powered by a nuclear microreactor. The newly formed Space Power and Propulsion for Agility ...
Thousands of bottles of a common antidepressant have been pulled from shelves after they were found to contain a cancer-causing chemical ... used in pesticides and rocket fuel.
