O novo motor de plasma da Rosatom utiliza um campo eletromagnético para acelerar partículas carregadas a mais de 100 km/s, garantindo um impulso contínuo e extremamente eficiente. Essa tecnologia reduz drasticamente o tempo de viagem ao otimizar o uso de combustível e eliminar a dependência da combustão química convencional.

The Russian Company Rosatom Revealed an Advance That Could Transform Space Travel: a Prototype of a New Electric Plasma Engine Capable of Reaching a Rocket to Mars in Just 30 Days. Currently, Interplanetary Missions Take Almost a Year to Reach the Red Planet, Exposing Astronauts to Dangers Such as Cosmic Radiation and Supply Limitations.

But what makes this new engine so special? Instead of relying on traditional combustion of chemical fuels, it uses propellants that generate immediate thrust through an electromagnetic field. This means much greater acceleration, with extremely efficient fuel usage.

A Faster and Safer Interplanetary Journey

The major differential of this new engine is its ability to drastically reduce travel time to Mars, making manned missions much safer. According to the Deputy Director of Science at Rosatom Research Institute, Aleksei Voronov, “plasma engines can reduce this time to 30 to 60 days, allowing round-trip missions with less exposure to cosmic radiation.”

This innovation is crucial, as astronauts who remain in space for long periods face serious physiological challenges. Radiation can cause cellular damage, increase the risk of cancer, and impair the immune system. With the new engine, these threats are considerably reduced.

The Power of the New Plasma Engine

Imagine a regular car that uses an internal combustion engine: it burns fuel to push the pistons, which move the wheels. Now, think of an electric car, which doesn't need to burn anything – it uses a magnetic field to turn the wheels directly, in a more efficient and quieter way.

The Rosatom plasma engine works similarly, but in space. Instead of burning fuel, it uses electricity to create an electromagnetic field that accelerates charged particles to absurd speeds, as if they were tiny jets of ultra-fast gas. Thus, instead of a strong and short explosion like in a traditional rocket, the engine generates a continuous and efficient thrust, allowing the spacecraft to accelerate progressively until reaching much higher speeds, shortening the travel time to Mars. — Imagine a regular car that uses an internal combustion engine: it burns fuel to push the pistons, which move the wheels.

The new plasma engine from Rosatom works similarly, but in space. Instead of burning fuel, it uses electricity to create an electromagnetic field that accelerates charged particles to absurd speeds, as if they were tiny jets of ultra-fast gas. Thus, instead of a strong and short explosion like in a traditional rocket, the engine generates a continuous and efficient thrust, allowing the spacecraft to accelerate progressively until reaching much higher speeds, shortening the travel time to Mars.

The engine developed by Rosatom has an average power of 300 kW, a value well above what is found in current space technologies. In traditional engines, the maximum speed of the material flow is approximately 4.5 km/s, while Rosatom’s new system allows for acceleration greater than 100 km/s.

This happens because, instead of burning fuel to generate thrust, the plasma engine accelerates charged particles through an electromagnetic field. This approach ensures a fuel efficiency up to ten times higher compared to conventional chemical engines, making space travel more sustainable and viable in the long term.

Rosatom’s Success in the Global Scenario

Rosatom is no newcomer to the development of advanced technologies. In 2024, the company registered an international order volume exceeding US$ 200 billion, with exports reaching US$ 18 billion. Its main focus has been on building nuclear power plants and providing cutting-edge technologies, with ongoing projects in countries such as Turkey, China, Egypt, Hungary, India, and Bangladesh.

The advance in the space sector with the new plasma engine further reinforces the company’s dominance in technological innovations. The combination of nuclear energy with efficient space engines could redefine the future of space exploration and open doors to new possibilities, such as permanent bases on other planets.

Rosatom’s Success in the Global Scenario

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Engine without traditional cylinder head could change the future of hybrids: Aramco creates DHE technology that simplifies mechanics, promises to reduce consumption by up to 25%, and challenges decades of evolution in combustion engines.

While other coffees escape the American tariff hike, Brazilian instant coffee is excluded, raising an alert in the sector and may become up to 37.5% more expensive in the United States.

Central Bank changes rule that lasted decades and allows dollar and euro accounts in Brazil for exporters and companies with foreign capital, eliminating the need for currency exchange in some transfers starting in October 2026.

The “Chinese invasion” has arrived: BYD already dominates almost 45% of the electric buses registered in Brazil in May 2026, while 80% of the entire electric fleet in the country is concentrated in São Paulo with 1,300 vehicles.

From toy to track machine: Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear made with over 327,000 Lego pieces reaches 111 km/h and surpasses the former Bugatti Chiron record.

Deep-sea marine animal can go more than 5 years without eating, combining physical adaptations and genetic mechanisms to survive in environments with extreme food scarcity; meet the Bathynomus.
