Ring of Fire' Rocket Engines Put a New Spin on Spaceflight
Liquid-fuel engines have been the preferred choice for rockets, but a new technology called rotating detonation engines (RDE) is emerging.
RDEs detonate fuel instead of burning it, leading to higher energy release, increased thrust, and potential for powering vehicles farther and faster.
BLASTNet - The First Large Machine Learning Dataset for Fundamental Fluid Dynamics
AI researchers at Stanford are collecting data from computational fluid dynamics to create a dataset for rocket science, oceanography, and climate modeling.
They hope to use this dataset to advance these scientific fields in the same way web-scale data advanced language processing.
This project demonstrates the potential of AI and data collection to revolutionize scientific research.
Ariane 6: How to build a space rocket step-by-step DW 06/28/2024
Developing a rocket system like Ariane 6 involves more than just creating the rocket itself; it includes engines, fuel, launchpad, and a manufacturing network, which took a decade amidst challenges like a global pandemic.
From the physics of g-force to weightlessness: How it feels to launch into space
Astronauts need rockets that obey Isaac Newton's laws to overcome Earth's gravity and reach space.
