The Multiphase Thermoelectric Converter is a direct thermal-to-electrical energy conversion system designed in order to harvest most of the waste heat energy efficiently into electricity, reducing weight and size of space heat radiators, making fusion-powered space propulsion more energy-efficient than ever. The Multiphase Thermoelectric Converter consists of two opposing twisting electromagnetic forces, forming two contra-aligned electrodynamic vortices, for axially and radially compressing...

The Phase-shift Turbine consists of a set of concentric coils, axially rotated from each other, and feed by phased RF sources, producing radial and longitudinal sequences, which results in helical moving force, ionizing intake gas/particle/ion, generating continuous unidirectional thrust. It was designed in order to operate in atmospheric environments, mainly during takeoff, and in space to reuse exhaust gases from chemical rockets to booster the overall ISP, enhancing utilization of both...

It is a brief explanation about a relativistic space propulsion system which uses a lattice/matrix of Phase Displacement Space Drives, producing crisscrossing pattern of Phased Standing Waves, to generate a sequence of spinning waves for causing a FTL moving force, in order to warp spacetime, enabling fast interstellar travel in an energy-efficient way.

It is a brief explanation about an innovative space propulsion system having two EM emitter, phased 0° 90°, and spaced quarter wavelength apart (nλ+ λ/4), creating attraction (contra-phase 180°) and repulsion (in-phase 0°), in order to produce net thrust force in an energy-efficient way, enabling fast interstellar travel.

It is a brief explanation about phase-shifted electrodynamic force (f ≥ c/L) causing electrodynamic drag, and consequently, generating propulsion in the outer space, and perhaps enabling fast interstellar travel. http://www.crossfirefusion.com/thruster

The journey of a Rover from its launch to its touchdown on Mars.

How do you get a Rover to Mars? Here's the trip from launch to touchdown.

Voyager II, a NASA spacecraft, demystifies Saturns's rings; Further analysis of dust particle patterns (called spokes) on space images of the planet lead to the conclusion that the spokes move with Saturn's magnetic field and not sporadically.

A look back at Voyager II's incredible images of Saturn.

Steve Robinson, a Nasa Austronaut and Carl Walz, Director of Advanced Capabilities in Exploration Systems share their amazing experiences of being in space and being able to look at Earth from the International Space Station.

For the privileged few, the view from the International Space Station is ever-changing and always amazing.

A discussion on the advantages of exploring Mars, the Marcian environment, the scientific development brought about by space missions and the significance the planetary research has has on humans and technological development led by Robert Zubrin, President of the Mars Society, Dr. Christopher McKay, a Planetary Scientist, Dr. Louis Friedman, Director of Planetary Society, and Dr. Edwards Weiler, a NASA Space Science Administrator. The president of the Mars Society makes a passionate case...
