Imtra thruster expert Peter Nolet explains the most important factors to consider when planning to install a new bow thruster on your boat. Bow thrusters come in many styles and sizes. They are often ...

Researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have developed a new thruster that increases power 25 times stronger than ...

NASA says it has successfully tested a high-powered plasma thruster that could eventually reduce Mars travel times from months to far shorter missions. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said in a ...

IMTRA, manufacturer and importer of marine products, announced a new line of retractable thrusters, the Side-Power SR Series SR80/185T and SR100/185T. These fully retractable SR Series thrusters are ...

NASA fired up a prototype of its electromagnetic thruster inside a vacuum chamber, reaching power levels of up to 120 kilowatts—the highest achieved in U.S. tests of an electric propulsion system.

Imtra announced a new line of proportional Speed Control DC thrusters, the Side-Power SEP Series thrusters. SEP thrusters overcome common over- and under-powering issues associated with other on/off ...

Spacecraft rocket engines come in a variety of forms and use a variety of fuels, but most rely on chemical reactions to blast propellants out of a nozzle, with the reaction force driving the ...

NASA is working on a lithium-plasma electric thruster that uses roughly 90% less fuel than chemical rockets. Can this new ...

For its crazy 2020 asteroid capture mission and other projects, NASA is developing next-gen "Hall effect thrusters" to corral an asteroid and put it into the moon's orbit. At the same time, the ...
