The site is dedicated to his pursuit of liquid fueled rocket engine building. It’s a great project log and he has finally come to the point where he will be testing his first flight vehicle soon.
This engine build coverage could literally be any one of our trips to the machine shop. You go in, talk to the builder about plans for your engine, and what you want to do. You drop off the engine ...
The team’s innovations could quickly redefine what’s possible in rocket manufacturing over the next few years, leaving rocket manufacturers elsewhere struggling to catch up.
For the first time, scientists have tested an experimental rocket engine that they say could change the way we launch spacecraft. The engine, called a rotating detonation rocket engine, propels ...
But a new type of engine — called a rotating detonation engine — promises to make rockets not only more fuel-efficient but also more lightweight and less complicated to construct.
3D printing a lightweight, high performance rocket engine One thing that Rocket Lab has become renowned for is its use of 3D printing techniques to manufacture its Rutherford rocket engine. This ...
Engineers at the University of Washington are working on a new type of rocket engine that holds the promise of being lighter, more efficient, and simpler to make than conventional liquid-fuel ...
One of the first issues Mueller had to address was how to build a turbopump. In the late 1990s, NASA had developed a rocket engine nearly as powerful as the proposed Merlin engine called Fastrac.
Rocket Lab, the global leader in dedicated small satellite launch, is celebrating completion of the company’s 100th Rutherford engine. Rocket Lab began development on the world’s first 3D ...
