Researchers led by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are studying salt-based propellants that have the potential to power dual-mode rockets that work as both combustion and ion engines.

For dual-mode rocket engines to be successful, a propellant must function in both combustion and electric propulsion systems. Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign used a ...

Team Abstract: The HADES team is seeking to add to the collective CU Boulder knowledge base of hybrid rockets through the development of a liquid-solid hybrid engine. This engine will be used to power ...

Rheinmetall AG CEO Armin Papperger said on Monday that Rheinmetall Victoria SA will be the most modern company in the world for the production of double- and triple-base propellants. During a press ...

Solid propellants are a fundamental component in propulsion systems, distinguished by their complex composite structures which couple energetic particles with polymeric binders. Understanding their ...
