The EmDrive first drew attention, both credulous and dismissive, when New Scientist wrote about it as an "impossible" drive in 2006. [29] Media outlets were later criticized for misleading claims that a resonant cavity thruster had been "validated by NASA" [30] following White's first tentative test reports in 2014. [31]
The Advanced Propulsion Physics Laboratory is enabled by section 2.3.7 of the NASA Technology Roadmap TA 2: In Space Propulsion Technologies: [11] Breakthrough Propulsion: Breakthrough propulsion is an area of technology development that seeks to explore and develop a deeper understanding of the nature of space-time, gravitation, inertial frames, quantum vacuum, and other fundamental physical ...
In August 2017, the company reported completing its Year 2 milestones for the VASIMR electric plasma rocket engine. NASA gave approval for Ad Astra to proceed with Year 3 after reviewing completion of a 10-hour cumulative test of the VX-200SS engine at 100 kW. It appears as though the planned 200 kW design is being run at 100 kW for reasons ...
On July 19, 2006 Rocketdyne announced that the demonstrator engine front-end had been operated at full capacity. [3]According to NASA, the Integrated Powerhead Demonstrator project was the first of three potential phases of the Integrated High Payoff Rocket Propulsion Technology Program, which was aimed at demonstrating technologies that double the capability of state-of-the-art cryogenic ...
In November, 2016, Harold White, along with other colleagues at NASA's Eagleworks program published their findings on the proposed EM Drive. [12] The proposed principle of operation for this device was shown to be inconsistent with known laws of physics , including conservation of momentum and conservation of energy .
A reactionless drive is a hypothetical device producing motion without the exhaust of a propellant.A propellantless drive is not necessarily reactionless when it constitutes an open system interacting with external fields; but a reactionless drive is a particular case of a propellantless drive that is a closed system, presumably in contradiction with the law of conservation of momentum.
A NASA engineer has been charged in connection with six sexual assaults, Texas officials say. Now they are looking for more possible survivors. In an April 3 news conference, ...
The second launch in the propellant transfer will fly an unknown amount of propellant as its payload. [1] In order to prevent the propellant from boiling during the vehicle's time in orbit, significant insulation and vacuum jacketing will be added to the propellant lines inside the vehicle. [1]
