(Nanowerk News) An electrospray engine applies an electric field to a conductive liquid, generating a high-speed jet of tiny droplets that can propel a spacecraft. These miniature engines are ideal ...

Agnikul Cosmos, a space-tech startup in India, has developed what it touts as the world’s largest single-piece rocket engine, manufactured using 3D printing. Interestingly, this new engine is a ...

Many firsts: The Agnikul mission was packed with multiple firsts that have significant implications both for India and the world. It marked the country's inaugural rocket launch from a privately owned ...

When Rocket Lab unveiled the Rutherford engine at the 31st Space Symposium in Colorado, it looked like any other space engine. It wasn’t. Rocket Lab manufactured the Rutherford via additive ...

Researchers demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The low-cost device can be fabricated more quickly than traditional thrusters, potentially from on board a ...

MIT engineers have demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The device, which would be ideal for enabling small satellites to make in-orbit maneuvers, can be ...
