Space Fuel

Scientists at Bangor University have developed nuclear fuel cells, of the size of poppy seeds, to create energy required to sustain life on the Moon.

NASA is set to unveil a new image from the James Webb Space Telescope on Wednesday. Webb was launched in December 2021 from French Guiana, on a million mile (1.6 million kilometer) voyage to a region called the second Lagrange point. Its first full colour picture was revealed by President Joe Biden on July 11, 2022: the clearest view yet of the ear...

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up for the launch of Chandrayaan-3 on Friday. The spacecraft is loaded with more fuel, a number of fail-safe measures, and a bigger landing site than its predecessor, Chandrayaan-2.

The Last of Us Part 1 PC review: It’s downright baffling how Naughty Dog went with the 'release first, fix later' mentality for its most important PC release. Even after a 14GB patch, The Last of Us Part I suffers from poor memory management, leading to a highly compromised experience fueled by stutters, sound issues, unusually long loading times...

Indian Space Research Organisation or ISRO and Microsoft today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to fuel the growth of space technology start-ups in India.

NASA said it completed a fuelling test for its Artemis I SLS rocket, ahead of the planned launch date of September 27. The US space agency had aborted the launch of the Artemis I SLS rocket twice in the past, due to technical errors. However, NASA is yet to receive a waiver to avoid retesting the batteries on a system used to destroy the Artemis I ...

An important repair for the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket has been completed by NASA. The leaky seals on the SLS were replaced by engineers last week. One of the fuel lines to the SLS started leaking earlier this month forcing the space agency to halt its attempt to launch Artemis I.

NASA may attempt to launch its Artemis I Moon rocket for the third time on September 23. The US space agency could launch the Artemis I SLS-Orion spacecraft on either September 23 or on September 27, according to a report. It previously halted the launch of the rocket for the second time, due to a fuel leak on September 3.

Russia's space agency Roskosmos on Monday unveiled the first physical model of what a planned new Russian-built space station will look like. This has further fueled speculations about Russia’s decision to abandon the International Space Station (ISS) and going solo. The model of the planned space station, dubbed "ROSS" by Russian state media, wa...

The European Space Agency on Wednesday announced the first flight of its upgraded Vega-C rocket. An improved version of the Vega rocket that made its debut in 2012 as a launcher specialising in lifting small payloads into space, Bega-C can carry heavier payloads while using up less fuel, according to the space agency. On Wednesday, the Vega-C rocke...

NASA and Boeing say its Starliner space capsule is ready for its uncrewed launch this week to the International Space Station, a long-delayed test mission meant to demonstrate the aerospace giant can safely fly humans in space.

Four spherical metal balls fell from the sky in some villages in Gujarat over the past few days, which some experts said were likely the debris of a Chinese rocket or fuel storage tanks of space launch vehicles.

Speaking at the Pune Alternate Fuel Conclave, Anish Shah, MD & CEO, Mahindra & Mahindra said the adoption of electric vehicles in India has been faster than expected and by 2030, 50 per cent of India's passenger vehicles will be EVs.

The used sedan market is dominated by these five rides. Read on.

Researchers at a Japanese institute say they have found a way to make renewable energy more efficient. It is called “carbon/air secondary battery (CASB)” and comprises a solid-oxide fuel and electrolysis cell (SOFC/ECs) where carbon generated via electrolysis of carbon dioxide (CO2) is oxidised with air to produce energy
