The relativistic gamma factor at 10% of light velocity is 1.005. A 0.1c speed rocket is thus considered non-relativistic since its motion is still quite accurately described by Newtonian physics alone. Relativistic rockets are usually seen discussed in the context of interstellar travel, since most would need a lot of space to

An antimatter rocket is a proposed class of rockets that use antimatter as their power source. There are several designs that attempt to accomplish this goal. The advantage to this class of rocket is that a large fraction of the rest mass of a matter/antimatter mixture may be converted to energy, allowing antimatter rockets to have a far higher energy density and specific impulse than any ...
ABL Space Systems is an American aerospace and launch service provider, based in El Segundo, California, that manufactures deployable launch vehicles and infrastructure for missile defense, [1] formerly for sending commercial small satellites into orbit. The company manufactures its components in the United States.
A photon rocket is a rocket that uses thrust from the momentum of emitted photons (radiation pressure by emission) for its propulsion. [1] Photon rockets have been discussed as a propulsion system that could make interstellar flight possible during a human lifetime, which requires the ability to propel spacecraft to speeds at least 10% of the speed of light, v ≈ 0.1c = 30,000 km/s.

The launch Monday was the maiden flight of the UAL Vulcan rocket that eventually plans to take men back to the moon. Ohio engineer's cremated remains join Star Trek cast in final mission aboard ...
Space Epoch is a Chinese space launch company based on Beijing, which is developing a stainless-steel, methane-liquid oxygen type rocket, named XZY-1 or Yuanxingzhe-1. [1] [2] The company secured a 200 million yuan (US$27.6m) in financing in 2023.
The Aerojet Rocketdyne AR1 is a 2,200-kilonewton-class (500,000 lbf) thrust RP-1/LOX oxidizer-rich staged combustion cycle rocket engine project. [1]The engine was conceived in 2014, and received US government funding to build a prototype engine in 2016. [2]
