Nilo on Instagram: "SpinLaunch is redefining how rockets reach space by replacing traditional fuel-heavy first stages with a massive centrifugal launch system. Instead of igniting engines on the ground, the rocket is spun inside a sealed vacuum chamber at extreme speeds before being released at hypersonic velocity. This approach dramatically reduces fuel consumption, launch costs, and carbon emissions, offering a more sustainable path to orbit. After release, the vehicle ignites its engines mid-

UNIVERSE | SCIENCE | TECHNOLOGY on Instagram: "🚀 COOLEST “ROCKET LAUNCHER” IN REAL ENGINEERING When people say coolest rocket launcher, they usually mean the rocket launch system — the huge structure that helps rockets lift off into space. It includes: • launch pad • support tower • fueling system • flame trench • strong clamps that hold the rocket before take-off How it works: • the rocket is filled with liquid fuel • computers check thousands of systems in seconds • clamps hold the rocket ste

NASA teams carried out a critical test of the Space Launch System (SLS) core stage at Stennis Space Center. All four RS-25 engines ignited successfully during the Green Run hot fire test, a major milestone on the path to the Artemis I Moon mission. Although the firing ended early, the onboard flight software performed exactly as designed and safely shut down the engines. Engineers gathered valuable data as the massive propellant tanks were pressurized, helping prepare the most powerful rocket ev
