Pam Melroy, a former NASA astronaut and spaceflight expert, has joined Venus Aerospace's board as the company advances its revolutionary rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE), which offers a 15% efficiency increase and could transform space travel and defense applications, including high-speed global travel and lunar/Mars landers.
NASA has successfully tested a Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE), achieving a new thrust record and demonstrating the potential for more efficient and powerful space travel. This engine could significantly reduce the amount of propellant needed for missions, making it cheaper and more feasible to reach destinations like Mars. The RDRE's design, which includes 3D printed parts, offers a promising advancement towards NASA's goal of a manned Mars mission in the 2030s.
