The Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets is a bi-monthly (six issues per year) peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. It covers the science and technology of spaceflight, satellite and mission design, missile design, and rockets.
Rogue Space Systems announced that the satellite is equipped with an "experimental propulsion" system, referred to as a "quantum drive," developed by IVO Limited. The satellite's testing program includes a 60-day resting period post-launch to stabilize its orbit, accounting for initial perturbations such as outgassing .
Martin Tajmar is a physicist and professor for Space Systems at the Dresden University of Technology. [1] He has research interests in advanced space propulsion systems, FEEP thrusters , breakthrough propulsion physics and possible connections between gravity and superconductivity.
Developing and testing new technologies — like electronic propulsion systems (EPS) — can ultimately help better smallsats achieve their correct orbit, avoid collisions with space junk and then ...
[6] [21] NASA is to be responsible for the propulsion system and nuclear reactor, and DARPA is to lead the vehicle and integration requirements, mission concept of operations, nuclear regulatory approvals and launch authority. [6] The U.S. Space Force plans to launch DRACO on either a SpaceX Falcon 9 or a United Launch Alliance Vulcan Centaur.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on September 4, 2024, by the Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT) and the Liquid Propulsion System Centre (LPSC) to jointly develop propulsion technology capable of lifting up to 30 tonnes and conveniently transporting bigger payloads to space and the moon. Eighteen to twenty-four ...
Spacecraft propulsion technology can be of several types, such as chemical, electric or nuclear. They are distinguished based on the physics of the propulsion system and how thrust is generated. Other experimental and more theoretical types are also included, depending on their technical maturity.
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 ...
