In NASA's Mars Design Reference Mission 5.0 documents (between 2009 and 2012), liquid methane/LOX (methalox) was the chosen propellant mixture for the lander module. Due to the advantages methane fuel offers, some private space launch providers aimed to develop methane-based launch systems during the 2010s and 2020s.
Raptor is a family of rocket engines developed and manufactured by SpaceX. It is the third rocket engine in history designed with a full-flow staged combustion (FFSC) fuel cycle, and the first such engine to power a vehicle in flight. [15] The engine is powered by cryogenic liquid methane and liquid oxygen, a combination known as methalox.
Bipropellant liquid rockets use a liquid fuel such as liquid hydrogen or RP-1, and a liquid oxidizer such as liquid oxygen. The engine may be a cryogenic rocket engine , where the fuel and oxidizer, such as hydrogen and oxygen, are gases which have been liquefied at very low temperatures.
Archimedes is a liquid-fuel rocket engine burning liquid oxygen and liquid methane in an oxidizer-rich staged combustion cycle. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is designed by aerospace company Rocket Lab for its Neutron rocket.
A hybrid-propellant rocket usually has a solid fuel and a liquid or NEMA oxidizer. [clarification needed] The fluid oxidizer can make it possible to throttle and restart the motor just like a liquid-fueled rocket. Hybrid rockets can also be environmentally safer than solid rockets since some high-performance solid-phase oxidizers contain ...
In July, LandSpace hit a benchmark in that race with the launch of the world's first methane-liquid oxygen rocket, the Zhuque-2 Y-2, putting China ahead of U.S. rivals including SpaceX and Jeff ...
