We’re delighted to see the progress on [Foaly]’s 3D-printed Cortex 2 rocket, and the latest build log is full of beautiful pictures and design details. Not only is this rocket …read more Continue reading 3D Printed Rocket’s Features are Out of this World
NASA has finally set a date for the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). If all goes to plan, the long-awaited flagship mission will blast into orbit on December 18, 2021, from French Guiana onboard an Ariane 5 rocket.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading NASA sets launch date for James Webb Space Telescope this year
Flying a thrust-vectoring rocket can be a challenge, and even more so if you stack multiple stages and a minimalist flight computer on top of it all. But [Joe Barnard] …read more Continue reading Three-Stage Thrust Vectoring Model Rocket With Tiny Flight Computers
Liquid-fuelled rocket engine design has largely followed a simple template since the development of the German V-2 rocket in the middle of World War 2. Propellant and oxidizer are mixed …read more Continue reading Japanese Rocket Engine Explodes: Continuously and On Purpose
Dawn Aerospace has successfully completed five test flights of its uncrewed Mk-II Aurora suborbital spaceplane in the skies over Glentanner Aerodrome on New Zealand’s South Island. The flights were conducted by the New Zealand-Dutch space transportatio… Continue reading Reusable spaceplane demonstrator completes 5 test flights in 3 days
[Integza] was reading about a World War II-era rocket plane created near the end of the war by the Germans. The Heinkel He-176 wasn’t very practical, but he was intrigued …read more Continue reading WWII Hydrogen Peroxide Rocket 3D Print
Rocket engines are great for producing thrust from fire and fury, but they’re also difficult to make. They require high-strength materials that can withstand the high temperatures involved. [Integza], however, …read more Continue reading 3D Printing Steel Parts At Home Via Special Filaments
Nearly five years ago, in a vastly different world, Eddie Braun completed the stunt that famously defeated Evel Knievel, jumping a rocket bike clean over Snake River Canyon in Twin Falls, Idaho. It’s a special memory to me, because I travelled all the … Continue reading Interview: Rocket-bike pilot Eddie Braun on his new Stuntman film
3D printing has come to play a significant role in modern rocket construction, with key players like Rocket Lab, NASA and SpaceX all leaning on the technology in producing their spacecraft. Startup Relativity Space is now coming to the party with its f… Continue reading Relativity Space’s reusable Terran R rocket can be 3D-printed in 60 days
The United States Air Force and United States Space Force are looking at rockets as a way to send supplies to inaccessible war zones and disaster areas. Led by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Rocket Cargo Vanguard will look at ways that comme… Continue reading US Air Force and Space Force look to rockets to transport supplies
