Humans have achieved groundbreaking feats in space exploration, reaching distant stretches of space with missions like Voyager 1. However, none of this would have been possible without rockets.

Space propulsion company Pulsar Fusion has achieved “first plasma” in its Sunbird nuclear fusion rocket, designed to propel rockets faster than any object has ever traveled.

Plasma flashed inside the exhaust system, held in place by electric and magnetic fields. This scene marked a small but ...

The breakthrough brings scientists a step closer to fusion propulsion - technology that mimics the energy reactions powering the Sun. View on euronews ...

NASA’s push for a new nuclear rocket engine is not just another upgrade to the hardware we strap to the bottom of spacecraft. It is an attempt to rewrite the basic rules of how far, how fast, and how ...

UK space propulsion company Pulsar Fusion has conducted the first test of a prototype exhaust system for a nuclear fusion rocket engine that could dramatically cut transit times for missions to Mars ...

Reusable rockets have reshaped the economics of spaceflight by dramatically reducing the cost of launching payloads into orbit. Traditional rockets were single-use vehicles that burned up or crashed ...
