He’d tried on three occasions beginning on July 18, 1928 to get this, his second liquid-fuel rocket design, to fly, hoping merely for a successful demonstration of its rocket motor. But not ...

(He switched to liquid propellants in 1921, but did not announce his 1926 liquid-fuel rocket flight—the world's first—until a decade later.) In 1916, Goddard conducted one of the most ...

For nearly a year, SpaceX has been trying out something new: super-cooling the liquid oxygen (LOX) which is a key ingredient in rocket fuel. It's called deep-cryo LOX, and the idea has been around ...

During his life, Willy Ley predicted the dawn of the Space Age with remarkable accuracy. How did his remains end up forgotten in a co-op on the Upper West Side?

Jaw-dropping pictures show the giant fuel tank that will help land astronauts on the Moon. Teams at NASA’s Michoud Assembly ...

A rocket contains a huge amount of fuel, which is ignited during liftoff. As the solid or liquid fuel burns, it turns into gas and escapes from the rear of the rocket. The expulsion of high-speed ...

An initial analysis suggested that the cause of the failure involved the newly developed liquid-fuel rocket motor, but other possible causes were being investigated, a report carried by state ...
