Today we're prototyping some rocket injectors for a monopropellant thruster that I'm building! The two types of injectors we are looking at are Showerhead and Impinging injectors, and analyze them ...

Space is becoming more crowded and as the number of satellites increases, so too does the risk of a collision, highlighting the need for multimode propulsion in spacecraft, according to industry ...

Several issues marred Starliner's first crew flight to the space station last June, but the most serious of these was the failure of multiple maneuvering thrusters. Concerns about these thrusters ...

Also good lord, Boeing is a mess. I guess its a good thing they went for massive redundancy in their maneuvering thrusters if so many were going to fail in sequence. What a shitshow ...

NASA on Thursday, though, said Starliner—which suffered helium leaks and degraded thrusters on orbit—could fly again as soon as this year. The timeline will depend upon the completion of ...

They recalled that after Wilmore took manual control of the ship, they lost four thrusters, and with that the ability to steer the vehicle safely. Flight regulations dictate that even though ...

They plan to test the “firing of key Starliner thrusters” and will also continue testing a new helium system seal. “Once we get through these planned test campaigns, we will have a better ...

After separating from the rocket, a SpaceX Dragon capsule carrying the four private astronauts has been using its own thrusters to zoom from pole to pole. Early Tuesday morning, SpaceX shared a ...
