Magdrive is working on three versions of its space thrusters, and because they run on solid metal, they might one day even be powered by space junk collected directly in orbit, turning it from threat ...

ISRO's efforts to position the NVS-02 satellite in its intended orbit faced a setback after the spacecraft's thrusters failed to activate, according to the space agency's statement on Sunday.

Currently, chemical propulsion is utilised to raise satellite orbits. This innovation will lead to significant mass savings ...

ISRO said this information will be an important role in satellite orbit management. "This test is a major milestone to demonstrate the reliability and robustness of the thrusters before induction ...

they have developed a “green” propulsion system that replaces hydrazine in satellite thrusters. Originally developed as a rocket fuel by German scientists during the Second World War ...

A methane-hunting satellite - which New Zealand taxpayers pitched in $29m for - is being handed back to its makers so they can fix unspecified "challenges." ...
