Such a development, if flown, could usher in a new era of spaceflight. That said, it is only one of several exciting avenues in rocket propulsion. Here are some others. Chemical rockets The standard means of propulsion for spacecraft uses chemical rockets. There are two main types: solid-f...

The design, known as Mars Chopper, looks small on the image, but in reality is around the size of an SUV. In astatementfrom NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Chopper was noted as having six rotors, each of which has six blades, allowing for added propulsio...
Science: Something New under the Sun ; Using Solar Energy for Space Travel Gets Increasingly Difficult the Farther One Is from the Sun. So, Asks Ian Brown, Just How Far Can Interplanetary Travel Go?Ask any space engineer what the ideal propulsion system for a spacecraft is - it's one ...
Spacecraft powered by electric propulsion could soon be better protected against their own exhaust, thanks to new supercomputer simulations.
The idea behind nuclear fusion, as I’ve noted before in previous coverage, is to harness a power similar to that of the Sun. The reason that it might work better in space with a propulsion system is because it won’t need a massive steam turbine to help fuel it, and it won’t nee...
If new launch systems could put weight intoorbit affordably, and advanced propulsion could speed upthat long, slow transit to Mars, the dream of stepping ontothe red planet might become reality. Mars will still be therewhen the technology is ready.1. What do Lewis and Clark's expedition and...
This chapter examines the technology required for deep space missions. Issues dealing with propulsion, radiation, and communication are addressed. The challenges of creating and storing food and water for long-term human survival are discussed. NASA plan
