Quantum drive propulsion system draws ‘limitless power’ from the Sun – but some physicists say it is impossible

Have you ever wondered what could a single military project, known as the Manhattan Project, accomplish when it came shrouded in wartime secrecy? The Manhattan Project, known for creating the atomic bomb, has accomplished much more than its original purpose. This film will take you on a journey to discover lesser-known technological wonders that emerged

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully tested the propulsion system for its Gaganyaan Service Module at its Propulsion Complex in Tamil Nadu. The system comprised five liquid apogee motor (LAM) engines and 16 reaction control system (RCS) thrusters, designed to support three-member human spaceflight missions for up to a three-day duration. The tests, conducted for a duration of 250 seconds, saw the LAM engines firing in continuous mode and adhering to the test profile.

Space propulsion company Pulsar Fusion has started construction on a large nuclear fusion chamber in England, as it races to become the first firm to fire a nuclear fusion-powered propulsion system in space. Nuclear fusion propulsion tech, arguably a golden goose of the space industry, could reduce the travel time to Mars by half and cut the travel time to Titan, Saturn's moon, to two years instead of 10. It sounds like science fiction, but Pulsar CEO Richard Dinan told TechCrunch in a re...
