Spacecraft powered by electric propulsion could soon be better protected against their own exhaust, thanks to new ...

Among such ion engines, a field emission electric propulsion (FEEP) type engine that obtains thrust by accelerating liquid metal ions was built by Breaking Taps, a YouTube channel that makes ...

NASA is working on a nuclear electric propulsion system that would involve robotically assembling a space radiator the size ...

These systems are characterized by the propellant used and emission mode of the ion beam. The most common of these, field emission electric propulsion (FEEP), utilize liquid metals as its ion source ...

In this work, we collaborate with colleagues conducting experiments on electric propulsion thrusters in academia, in government laboratories (AFRL, NASA), and in industry. Ubiquitous in the field of ...

A central goal of DLR Lampoldshausen is to bundle all competencies in the field of rocket propulsion turbopumps in order to conduct targeted and effective research. Continue reading The overarching ...
