Iranian cargo vessels will reportedly carry over 1,000 tons of sodium perchlorate, a key ingredient to make missile ...

Iranian cargo ships allegedly carrying chemicals to make missile propellent are setting sail from China to deliver the shipment to Tehran's army.

Citing intelligence from security services of two Western countries, the report specifies that the Golbon and Jairan ships, sailing under the Iranian flag, will transport over 1,000 tons of sodium ...

Boron is the fifth lightest element, has a high intrinsic energy density, and is cheap, abundant and stable — making it of interest as a solid rocket fuel and as an additive to jet fuels to ...

[KoD] and [Navic] are building solid propellant motors using sugar and potassium nitrate. They cook up the two ingredients along with water and a bonding agent. They find that corn syrup is ...

A solid-propellant rocket or solid rocket is a rocket with a rocket engine that uses solid propellants (fuel/oxidizer). The earliest rockets were solid-fuel rockets powered by gunpowder; they were ...

There was a problem though; solid rocket motors are far too common to be interesting, and even hybrid rocket engines are becoming passé. We’ve never seen a liquid-fuel rocket build before ...

Hybrid rockets avoid some of the disadvantages of solid rockets like the dangers of propellant handling, while also avoiding some disadvantages of liquid rockets like their mechanical complexity.

If too much fuel or oxidizer builds up in the chamber, a rocket can blow itself to bits. Solid rocket boosters are sometimes used to give a rocket a little extra oomph at sea level. NASA's SLS ...

Ukraine conducted a strike with missiles and drones on one of Russia's oil refineries in Rostov Oblast last night, having hit the chemical plant before.

The trials verify that the fuel can survive the harsh environment of a nuclear rocket reactor. Up until now, the main way of propelling spacecraft has been through chemical rockets. To be fair ...
