Alliant Techsystems has received a $10.4M technology development contract to reduce the risk to develop a non-toxic Liquid Oxygen (LOx)-Liquid Methane rocket engine that could be used on future Crew ...

It's Sea Month here at autoevolution, a month that celebrates, well, stuff that floats on or under lakes, rivers, and oceans. But no one ever specified where or what body of water. So would it be a ...

NASA's Cassini spacecraft captures an infrared view of Saturn moon Titan during a November 2015 flyby in this composite image. - NASA / JPL / University of Arizona / University of Idaho Saturn’s ...

Enormous lakes and seas filled with liquid methane on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan may have been crafted by the power of waves. Titan is Saturn's largest moon and the second-largest moon in our ...

Nearly 20 years ago, the Cassini probe and its Huygens lander peeked under the hazy atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon Titan and gave us our first glimpse of the moon's familiarly strange surface.

Future explorers of Saturn’s moon Titan may get to surf on waves of rocket fuel. The icy shorelines of Titan’s southern lakes may be sculpted by waves of liquid methane, according to a recent study. A ...

Aerojet, a GenCorp (NYSE:GY) company, announced today that it has completed manufacturing and assembly of an advanced 5,500-lbf Liquid Oxygen (LOX) Liquid Methane (LCH4) rocket engine. Aerojet will ...

Scientists have known for a while that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has rivers and seas of liquid methane on its surface. But it's strangely lacking in deltas, a new study suggests. On Earth, large ...

There are only two places in the solar system where liquid flows on the surface. But while Earth’s rivers and lakes are of liquid water, on Titan—the largest moon of Saturn—it’s liquid methane that ...

A private space company in China made aerospace history by launching its methane-fueled rocket to orbit, ushering in a new era of cleaner, safer rocket fuel that’s better suited for reusability.

Engineers prepare a 3D printed turbopump for a test at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. The turbopump was tested at full power, pumping 600 gallons of semi-cryogenic liquid methane per minute, ...
