Inexpensive and compact CubeSats are great for certain missions, but their simplicity can limit their applications. For one, most of them don't pack their own propulsion systems, instead hitchhiking ...
A startup called Momentus is testing a new in-orbit water plasma propulsion system to maneuver satellites. And early rounds of tests have gone without any major hurdles — and the trials mark the first ...
When you think about next-gen propulsion technologies for space travel, your mind probably goes to something like NASA’s EmDrive project or ion engines before it does a material like boring old water.
New in-space propulsion techniques seem to be popping out of the woodwork. The level of innovation behind moving things around in space is astounding, and now a company from Japan has just hit a ...
NASA is preparing for the in-orbit demonstration of a propulsion system for small satellites that combines the safety of using water as the propellant with the performance of a chemical rocket. There ...
Sony has introduced its all-new satellite technology that goes by the name Star Shere, which seeks to revolutionize how we take photos. And the Japanese tech giant tapped a propulsion firm based in ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A new type of micropropulsion system for miniature satellites called CubeSats uses an innovative design of tiny nozzles that release precise bursts of water vapor to maneuver ...
Snorkelers, swimmers and divers maybe interested in a new underwater jet water propulsion system called the Bixpy Jet which has been created and designed by Houman Nikmanesh based in San Diego ...
