Engineers at NASA have successfully fired up a set of thrusters Voyager 1 hasn’t used in decades to solve an issue that could keep the 47-year-old spacecraft from communicating with Earth from ...

Engineers at NASA say they have successfully revived thrusters aboard Voyager 1, the farthest spacecraft from our planet, in the nick of time before a planned communications blackout. A side effect of ...

Kongsberg Maritime has secured a contract to supply its innovative rim-drive thrusters for a new advanced acoustic research ...

Voyager 1 just fired up a set of thrusters that have been dormant for 37 years. The aging spacecraft, first launched in 1977, is the fastest and most well-traveled spacecraft ever launched by NASA. It ...

NASA engineers have pulled off an incredible feat: switching the agency’s ancient Voyager 1 probe — the farthest human-made object in existence — to a different set of thrusters. The feat, heavily ...

A satellite company named Maxar recently delivered a passenger-van-sized chunk of spacecraft to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. This chassis will serve as the backbone for a robotic ...

Thrusters powered by ionic wind may be an efficient alternative to conventional atmospheric propulsion technologies. When a current passes between two electrodes -- one thinner than the other -- it ...

A set of thrusters aboard the Voyager 1 spacecraft successfully fired up Wednesday after 37 years without use. Since 2014, engineers have noticed that the thrusters Voyager 1 has been using to orient ...

In Starfield, you will travel across the galaxy and fight enemies with your ship, so you will need Thrusters to boost speed, mobility, and maneuverability. Many Starfield players don’t know how to ...
