NASA’s latest generation of 3D printed rocket engines is not just a materials experiment, it is a direct assault on the cost structure that has defined spaceflight for decades. By combining advanced ...

TIP OFF IS AT 7:15 P.M. NANCY: A BIT OF SPACE HISTORY OUT AT THE CAPE LATE LAST NIGHT. RELATIVITY SPACE SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED THE FIRST 3D PRINTED ROCKET AS IT PASSED AN IMPORTANT STRESS TEST. BUT ...

We average Joes might bask in the knowledge that our species is fairly advanced from a technological standpoint, and more than able to study the space surrounding our planet. But engineers working in ...

NASA's Reactive Additive Manufacturing for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (RAMFIRE) project test-fired a 3D-printed engine ...

Students from the San Diego chapter of the University of California test-fire a new 3D-printed engine, making UC San Diego the very first university to “additively manufacture” a rocket engine. The ...

NASA successfully tested its 3D-printed Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE), advancing deep space exploration. At NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, the RDRE demonstrated ...

Edinburgh-based aerospace startup Skyrora announced yesterday it had commenced a series of full-duration tests of its updated 3D-printed 70kN engine. The new design features an improved engine cooling ...

Last we checked on NASA’s 3D-printing front, astronauts could soon be eating 3D-printed pizza. Now, 3D printing is bringing NASA one step closer to a 3D-printed spacecraft. Last week, NASA tested the ...

Reducing the cost of space launches will be critical if we want humanity to have a more permanent presence beyond orbit. The partially successful launch of the first 3D-printed rocket could be a ...

A rocket made almost entirely of printed metal parts made its debut launch Wednesday night, but failed after three minutes of flight — far short of reaching orbit. The uncrewed vessel, Terran 1, ...

Indian space firm Agnikul launched its first sub-orbital test spacecraft powered by its unique 3D-printed rocket engines on Thursday. The event comes after two years of preparation and multiple ...

The previously used Rutherford engine passed qualification tests and is set to make history as the first 3D-printed engine to reach space for a second time. Reading time 3 minutes Reusability is the ...
