A new propulsion system developed by Russian scientists is generating buzz in the spaceflight community. According to researchers fromRosatom’s Troitsk Institute, a laboratory-tested magnetoplasma ...

What if reaching Mars took only 30 days? Russian researchers have developed an innovative plasma engine, promising to drastically reduce interplanetary travel times. This technology, still in the ...

Plasma engines generate extreme heat, which can damage engine components over time. Tang’s team is investigating advanced materials and cooling systems to mitigate these effects.

Russia's state-owned Rosatom announced a prototype plasma engine which could speed up travel to other planets.

The VX-200 engine is the first flight-like prototype of the VASIMR (R) propulsion system, a new high-power plasma-based rocket, initially studied by NASA and now being developed privately by Ad Astra.

With coordination and planning, convalescent plasma should be poised to play a key role in the treatment of Covid-19 well into the future.

Plasma is made of charged particles, which means it can be manipulated with magnetic fields. However, this sophisticated type of engine uses a magnetic nozzle, which wasn’t working as expected.

Russia's Rosatom is developing a plasma electric rocket engine that could drastically reduce travel time to Mars, potentially making the journey in 30 to 60 days.

Plasma Fueled Engines (PFE) offer a means of MHD acceleration for hypersonic vehicles flying at high altitudes using electron beam ionization to achieve adequate conductivity for significant MHD ...

Alfred E. Kunen, director of Republic’s Plasma Propulsion Laboratory, explained that the plasma pinch engine will get its electricity from solar cells and store it temporarily in a battery.
