Made in Dubai. We printed this 200 kN MethaLOX... Aerospike rocket engine with HBD out of Inconel 718. The refined version of this thruster will power the fully reusable upper stage of the Oryx spacecraft made by Aspire Space.show more

This video shows a static fire test of the... Archimedes rocket engine, developed by Rocket Lab. Archimedes uses liquid methane (LCH.) as fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) as the oxidizer, a combination known as methalox. During combustion, these cryogenic propellants produce extremely high temperatures (over 3,000°C), hotter than lava. To survive this, the engine circulates cold fuel through its walls before burning it, a technique called regenerative cooling. Multiple Archimedes engines will power Rocket Lab's upcoming Neutron rocket, which is being built to launch satellites and cargo to orbit with lower cost and higher reliability. Rocket Lab is best known for its Electron rocket and is now expanding into larger, reusable launch vehicles with Neutron.show more

🚨 BIG: 🇮🇳 India's next defence breakthrough could be... powered by this homegrown engine Hyderabad-based Paninian India has unveiled the Yantur 4.5 kN turbofan engine programme, claiming it to be India's first privately developed compact turbofan engine in its class. The indigenous engine is being developed to power the company's SVAYATT-L1 long-range cruise missile and could also support future collaborative combat drones through higher-thrust variants. The programme has completed its conceptual and detailed design phases and is now progressing toward subsystem testing, validation and full engine certification, with the company aiming to strengthen India's indigenous defence propulsion capabilities.show more

NASA has developed and tested this Rotating Detonation Rocket... Engine (RDRE). Engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, successfully tested a novel, 3D-printed RDRE for 251 seconds (or longer than four minutes), producing more than 5,800 pounds of thrust. That kind of sustained burn emulates typical requirements for a lander touchdown or a deep-space burn that could set a spacecraft on course from the Moon to Mars.show more

This Atlas V 551 rocket, designated AV-105, stands 205... feet (62.5m) tall and will weigh 1.3 million pounds (589,000kg) once fully fueled for liftoff. It leaves the pad on 2.7 million pounds (12 megaNewtons) of thrust from the main engine and five SRBs to launch Kuiper 2.show more

🚨🇨🇳 China's rocket fuel breakthrough shakes up the space... race China's Long March-12 rocket just test-fired a new "high-energy synthetic kerosene" — and the numbers are impressive 🔸 The fuel increased engine specific impulse by around 8 seconds, boosting payload capacity by roughly 10% 🔸 Developed by a CASC subsidiary after 13 years of research, the fuel improves energy density and combustion efficiency 🔸 The system was tested across multiple engine types and adapted for extreme launch conditions in Hainan The development will enhance China’s ability to deploy larger satellite constellations and support future deep-space missions, reflecting growing competition in global space launch capabilitiesshow more

You are looking at the most advanced rocket engine... ever built SpaceX’s next-generation Raptor 3 engine is not just an upgrade, it is a complete redesign of what a rocket engine can be Compared to the original Raptor 1, Raptor 3 is expected to deliver nearly 2x more thrust, around 4x lower cost, a much lighter design saving about 42.9 tons per launch, no external heat shield required, and cleaner, simpler, more integrated hardware This is not just an engine upgrade. It is a major step toward making Starship cheaper, lighter, more reusable, and capable of launching at a scale humanity has never seen before The first flight of Starship V3, powered by Raptor 3, is currently targeted for mid-May 2026 SpaceX is building the future of spaceflight in real timeshow more

China strengthens its space capabilities by launching new remote-sensing... satellites. China successfully launched the Yaogan-53 and Yaogan-56 remote-sensing satellites from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center aboard a Long March-4B rocket. The satellites will be used for scientific experiments, resource surveys, crop monitoring, and disaster prevention. The launch marked the 666th mission of the Long March rocket series.show more

India has successfully launched the Vikram-1 orbital-class rocket, developed... by a private company, for the first time The rocket delivered its payload into an orbit approximately 450 km above Earth. With this launch, India became the third country to achieve privately operated orbital launches.show more

🚨 JUST IN: 🇮🇳 India Enters the Indigenous Turbojet... Era Hyderabad-based Azad Engineering has successfully manufactured and delivered India's first indigenous 350 kg thrust-class expendable turbojet engine for DRDO. The engine will power cruise missiles, loitering munitions and UAVs, marking a major boost to India's indigenous propulsion capabilities and defence self-reliance.show more

The Russian PG-30 rocket has a separate 40mm precursor... rocket that fires shortly before the main round. This is a decoy to trigger active protection systems that then won’t be ready to engage the main rocket 0.2-0.4 sec later. And it has a soft foam nose! 1/2show more

This is not AI. On January 19, 2025, during... Starship Flight 7, SpaceX's Super Heavy booster made a flawless return to the launch pad, caught by its massive mechanical arms. This reusable rocket milestone demonstrates how close we are to rapid, fully reusable spaceflight-boosters landing safely, ready to be refueled and flown again, paving the way for more frequent and affordable space missions.

A striking example of how aerodynamic loads during Max-Q... literally snapped the Long March 7A rocket at the interstage section between the second and third stages 😬 This is a very rare occurrence in the industry; notably, this was the fourth launch of the year for this specific rocket model and its eighteenth overall.show more

The Soviet Buran program developed reusable orbital spacecraft comparable... to the U.S. Space Shuttle, but with far more advanced automation. Its lone 1988 mission showcased a fully unmanned launch, orbit, and autonomous landing—an unprecedented achievement at the time. Lifted by the Energia rocket rather than onboard engines, the orbiter relied on sophisticated avionics and a unique engine-less design. Despite its technical success, the Buran program was canceled after the Cold War, and the only flown orbiter was later destroyed in a 2002 hangar collapse.show more

🚨LATEST: POLYMARKET IS DITCHING USDC AND LAUNCHING ITS OWN... STABLECOIN Prediction market giant Polymarket is set to launch its own stablecoin, 'Polymarket USD,' replacing the existing bridge-based USDC currently used on the platform. According to CoinDesk, the new collateral-backed stablecoin is designed to overhaul the platform's payment and trading architecture. Polymarket has described the move as "the largest infrastructure upgrade since its launch." The rollout will be carried out in phases over the coming weeks, alongside upgrades to its trading engine and smart contracts.show more

🚨 BIG: 🇮🇳 India is entering the race for... SpaceX-style reusable rockets. Chennai-based 🚀 Agnikul Cosmos has announced Mission-02 — aiming to attempt India’s first private recovery of an orbital-class rocket booster. The goal: Recover → Refurbish → Reuse.
