Controlling gravity will probably never help us launch a spacecraft, but that does not mean we should give up on the idea, says the European Space Agency. It is calling for missions that might one day ...

One thing is crystal clear about the Lucid Gravity: Its all-electric propulsion system is a game changer. Named a 2025 Wards 10 Best Engines and Propulsion Systems winner, Lucid nails it when it comes ...

An engineer who once worked with NASA says he has built a machine that can push against gravity without burning a drop of fuel, a claim that, if true, would upend how rockets, satellites, and even ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the immovable backdrop of modern physics, a force that can be described and exploited but never truly switched off. Now a former NASA engineer says he has ...

World’s largest electric propulsion pointing mechanism will enable Aerojet AEPS Thrusters on the Maxar-built Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) of NASA’s lunar space station. The Gateway space station ...

The APPMAX2-XS is a next-generation electric propulsion pointing mechanism. Photo: Beyond Gravity Beyond Gravity is to bring to market a new ultra-light propulsion pointing mechanism with high ...

Researchers have successfully used lasers to precisely steer tiny devices known as “metajets” in three dimensions. It’s a breakthrough in optical propulsion that could one day help power interstellar ...

The spacecraft is using the Red Planet’s gravity to increase speed and tilt its trajectory on the journey to the metal-rich asteroid Psyche. NASA’s Psyche spacecraft will get a boost from Mars on ...
