Former NASA engineer claims a propellant-free force can overcome Earth’s gravity

Leave a Comment / Aerospace, Space & Environment /

In 2001, British electrical engineer Roger Shawyer unveiled the EmDrive, often dubbed the “impossible drive.” The device gained attention because Shawyer claimed it could generate thrust without using any propellant. If accurate, it would function as a reactionless drive—seemingly moving forward without expelling anything in the opposite direction. Such a concept directly challenges the law […]

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft used Mars’s gravity for a slingshot maneuver to adjust its path

Leave a Comment / Planetary Science, Space & Environment /

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft used Mars as a gravity slingshot while traveling toward a metal-rich world that may help uncover what lies inside planets like Earth. On May 15, NASA’s Psyche spacecraft flew just 2,864 miles (4,609 kilometers) above Mars in a successful close pass. The spacecraft used Mars’ gravity to gain speed and adjust its

NASA intends to conduct a fire experiment on the Moon in preparation for upcoming missions

Aerospace, Space & Environment /

Fire is one of the most serious concerns for upcoming crewed space missions. Scientists from NASA Glenn Research Center, Johnson Space Center, and Case Western Reserve University have outlined an experiment to study how materials burn on the Moon, where fire is expected to behave differently than on Earth. On Earth, gravity makes hot gases

A Lithium Cloud in Earth’s Atmosphere Was Traced to a Returning SpaceX Rocket

Aerospace, Space & Environment /

Space debris falling back to Earth is contaminating the once-pristine upper atmosphere with metallic pollutants as it incinerates during re-entry, according to a new study. Published in Communications Earth & Environment, the research was led by Robin Wing of the Leibniz Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Germany. Using highly sensitive laser instruments, the international team
