The company’s ambitious new Sunbird design aims to harness nuclear fusion in space, despite the fact that commercializing ...

Fusion has long been the propulsion end-goal for interplanetary travel, and a U.K.-based company thinks on its way to achieving that dream.

The glowing object was a bolide, fireballs that explode in a bright flash, according to experts. It streaked across Mexico’s predawn skies on Wednesday.

Almost 10 years ago, a NASA spacecraft was able to take several photos of Pluto, known for decades as a planet before it was ...

A British propulsion company is aiming to harness nuclear fusion and drastically cut travel times to far off places in space.

These speeds are key to reducing travel times between planets. For example, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft took 9.5 years to reach Pluto. Pulsar Fusion says its system could do the same trip in about ...

Pluto Rocket and Joe Pidge return and this time they embark on a rocket-building quest. Third in this early graphic novel series for newly independent readers. Charlotte Eyre is the former ...

Sunbird could help spacecrafts reach speeds up to 805,000 kms per hour, which is faster than the Parker Solar Probe, the ...

Unlike conventional chemical rockets, Sunbird relies on nuclear fusion – a process that replicates the energy production at the core of stars – to propel spacecraft.

The relative quantities of volatile gases like methane and ethane can reveal key details about distant Kuiper Belt objects.
