When astronauts travel deeper into space, every drop of fuel becomes critical, and keeping those fuels stable for months or even years is one of the biggest engineering challenges facing future ...

Orbital cryogenic propellant depot technology has stalled for decades because no validated in-space data exists on how liquid oxygen behaves in microgravity. Rocket Lab's LOXSAT mission, launching ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — After a decade of preparation and two years of active experiments in space, a facility that Purdue University and NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland designed, built and ...

China, India and the U.S. have all achieved landing on the Moon in the 2020s. Once there, their eventual goal is to set up a base. But a successful base – along with the spacecraft that will carry ...

With temperatures on the moon ranging from minus 410 to a scorching 250 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s an understatement to say that humans will need habitats with heat and air conditioning to survive there ...

In this work, we present an exceptionally high heat transfer coefficient (HTC) and critical heat flux (CHF) achieved by graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and copper composite coatings with tunable surface ...

Hydrodynamics of Taylor flow in vertical capillaries; flow regimes; bubble rise velocity; liquid slug length; and pressure drop. Appendix I contains the raw experimental data of this study, whereas ...
