Agnikul Cosmos, an Indian company, successfully fired its pioneering electric motor-driven semi-cryogenic engine on Friday.

Weighing 30 tonnes fully fueled, the rocket has a hybrid propulsion system, using a solid inert fuel and a liquid oxidizer, which provides the oxygen for it to burn. If successful, it would be the ...

The rocket has a multi-day launch window to fly ... using a solid inert fuel and a liquid oxidizer, which provides the oxygen for it to burn, Gilmour said. Gilmour Space Technologies is backed ...

Gilmour Space, a venture-backed startup based in Australia, is about to launch a small rocket from its privately owned ...

The engine installed on Talon-A is the Ursa Major Hadley oxidizer-rich staged combustion cycle rocket engine, which uses kerosene and liquid oxygen to obtain a 22-kilonewton (5,000 lbf ...

working on a radically new solid rocket fuel, tried mixing an oxidizing agent with rubber. But it had trouble combining the oxidizer with solid rubber, tried liquid Thiokol by happenstance (a ...

Draper was designed to offer a liquid-propulsion alternative that provides more flexibility compared to traditional solid rocket motors ... atmospheric oxygen as an oxidizer.

More specifically, the rocket propellant consists of both fuel and oxidizer. The fuel is typically something flammable, usually hydrogen, methane or kerosene. The oxidizer is usually liquid oxygen ...

That's why rockets have to carry tanks of both fuel and oxidizer. The SpaceX Falcon 9's Merlin engines use rocket-grade kerosene (RP-1) fuel with liquid oxygen as the oxidizer. NASA's Space Launch ...
