Recently NASA announced earlier this month that the 12 kW Advanced Electric Propulsion System — which is scheduled to form an integral part of the Lunar Gateway when it is launched — has ...

NASA’s Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program recently selected six promising projects for additional funding and development, allowing them to graduate to the second stage of development.

The most advanced VASIMR engine is Ad Astra's 200-kilowatt VX-200. The pathway to the VX-200 was discussed at the 33rd International Electric Propulsion Conference, held at The George Washington ...

The NSWR is also fission-based and promising but less mature. Fusion-based propulsion (e.g., Daedalus) offers superior potential but awaits technological breakthroughs. Beamed power to ion drives or ...

• Empowering students to carry out advanced gas turbine off-design performance and to investigate advanced gas turbine combustion in order to improve energy efficiency and reduce pollution; • To ...

Early studies suggest the pulsed plasma rocket (PPR) propulsion system could produce up to 100,000 N of thrust within a 5,000-second impulse. The concept has been developed from an earlier Pulsed ...

Rocket Star Inc. has made a significant leap in space propulsion technology with the introduction of the Firear Fusion Drive.This innovative system, which combines plasma thruster technology with ...
