WASHINGTON — Orbion, an independent small-satellite propulsion company based in Michigan, has delivered 33 electric ...
Engineers at NASA say they have successfully revived thrusters aboard Voyager 1, the farthest spacecraft from our planet, in the nick of time before a planned communications blackout. A side effect of ...
Polarstern is being built for the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research (AWI).The new ...
NASA engineers have pulled off an incredible feat: switching the agency’s ancient Voyager 1 probe — the farthest human-made object in existence — to a different set of thrusters. The feat, heavily ...
A satellite company named Maxar recently delivered a passenger-van-sized chunk of spacecraft to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. This chassis will serve as the backbone for a robotic ...
The Titan submersible had an issue with its thrusters and spun in circles on a dive last year. The moment, which was captured by the BBC, occurred less than 1,000 feet from the Titanic. The pilot said ...
A form of electric propulsion known as Hall thrusters — a type of ion thruster — may actually pack more bang for the buck than expected. Hall thrusters have conventionally been used to adjust the ...
It was believed that Hall thrusters, an efficient kind of electric propulsion widely used in orbit, need to be large to produce a lot of thrust. Now, a new study suggests that smaller Hall thrusters ...

Voyager 1 spent the last 47 years hurtling in a straight line away from Earth, exploring the deepest reaches of space that humanity has ever ventured. However, NASA must carefully manage Voyager 1 as ...
As with all aging bodies, clogged tubes form an increasing issue. So too with the 47-year old Voyager 1 spacecraft and its hydrazine thrusters. Over the decades silicon dioxide from an aging rubber ...
Kongsberg Maritime has secured a contract to supply its innovative rim-drive thrusters for a new advanced acoustic research ...
