Rocket engines typically use one of two types of propellant: Solid ↗ or liquid ↗. Hybrid-propellant rocket ↗s use a combination of these two forms of fuel, and lack some of the disadvantages of both. Their specific impulse ↗ is usually between solid-propellant ↗ and liquid-propellant rockets ↗. The image shown here is of a 3D-printed grain ↗, designed for a small hybrid rocket engine which would be used to demonstrate rocket combustion. On the left are two helical fuel ports, on the right a de Laval nozzle ↗.

In July of 1969, Apollo 11 ↗ successfully fulfilled John F. Kennedy ↗'s goal of a person landing on, and returning from, the moon before the 1970s. Taking off on 16 July, the lunar lander, ''Eagle'' ↗, touched down on the evening of the 20th (UTC). Neil Armstrong ↗ and Buzz Aldrin ↗ exited the lander six hours later, becoming the first men on the moon. The pair stayed on the lunar surface for about 21 hours. This image is actually the second of a pair of images, taken by Aldrin so that the lunar surface's ability to bear weight could be measured.

200px|right ↗
Launched on 26 July, 1971, Apollo 15 ↗ was the fourth Apollo mission to successfully land on the moon, and the first of the longer, more science-focused J Mission ↗s. Landing at Hadley–Apennine ↗ on the 30, Commander David Scott ↗ and Lunar Module Pilot James Irwin ↗ (''Irwin on left'') stayed on the moon's surface until 2 August, while Command Module Pilot Alfred Worden ↗ stayed in orbit, collecting a variety of data on the moon. Apollo 15 was the first mission to use the Lunar Roving Vehicle ↗ (''on right''), which allowed Scott and Irwin to travel farther from the Lunar Lander (''center'') than previously possible.

On 4 August, the lunar orbiter departed from orbit at the end of Apollo 15's 74th lunar orbit ↗. On the 5, Worden performed an EVA ↗ which lasted 39 minutes. This was the first of three deep-space EVAs, all performed during J Missions. The command module landed in the North Pacific Ocean on the 7, with the command module and crew being recovered by USS ''Okinawa'' ↗. Apollo 15 was the longest Apollo mission, lasting for a total of 12 days and 7 hours, until Apollo 17 ↗, which lasted 12 days, 13 hours, and 52 minutes.

200px|right ↗
The Space Shuttle ''Enterprise'' ↗ (OV-101) was the first orbiter built in the Space Shuttle program ↗. Designed for atmospheric test flights, it lacked both engines and a heat shield, making it unable to go to space. Rolled out on 17 September 1976, it was initially named ''Constitution'', but was renamed following a large letter-writing campaign from Trekkie ↗s. Unlike its eponym ↗, the USS ''Enterprise'' ↗ from the original ''Star Trek'' series ↗, OV-101 never achieved spaceflight; originally intended to be refitted ↗ to become the second space-rated orbiter after ''Columbia'' ↗, changes to the design of the Space Shuttle made it both simpler and cheaper to instead construct a new shuttle, ''Challenger'' ↗, around a test article ↗. It was later considered for refitting following the ''Challenger'' disaster ↗, but it was instead decided to build a replacement, ''Endeavour'' ↗, out of spare parts from the construction of ''Discovery'' ↗ and ''Atlantis'' ↗.

''Enterprise'' flew a total of five times, from 12 August to 26 October, 1977. It was then flown to Marshall Space Flight Center ↗ in Alabama ↗, where it was placed into the Saturn V dynamic test stand ↗ for the Mated Vertical Ground Vibration Testing, in order to test the Space Shuttle's launch stack. It was then used for a variety of fit checks at Kennedy Space Center ↗ and Vandenberg Air Force Base ↗, between which it toured Europe and North America, including a showing at the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition ↗. It was then moved to the Smithsonian Institution ↗'s National Air and Space Museum ↗ on 18 November 1985. It was then moved to its present location aboard the USS ''Intrepid'' museum ship ↗ on 12 December 2011.

On 28 October, 2014, Cygnus Orb-3 ↗ was launched at 22:22:38 UTC. 15 seconds after liftoff, one of the launch vehicle's AJ26 (modified NK-33 ↗s) ruptured, resulting in the craft falling. The mission was scrubbed eight seconds later at 22:23:01 UTC. The subsequent investigation found that the liquid oxygen ↗ turbopump exploded, severing nearby propellant lines. This resulted in a fire that damaged various engine components. The cause of the LOX turbopump's failure remains unknown.

STS-116 ↗ was the 33rd mission of the Space Shuttle ''Discovery'' ↗. Launched in the late evening of 6 December, the main aims of the mission were the installation of one of the International Space Station's Integrated Truss Structure ↗ segments, rewiring of the power system, and personnel exchange. Also known as ISS-12A.1, STS-116 was the first mission to include a Swedish astronaut, Christer Fuglesang ↗. It returned to Earth in the evening of 22 December.<br/><br/>This image, of the first of three EVA ↗ sessions, was taken on the fourth day of the mission. Flight engineer Robert Curbeam ↗ is on the left, opposite mission specialist 3 Christer Fuglesang. The image was taken over New Zealand ↗; the South Island ↗ is visible on the left, while the southern portion of the North Island ↗, mostly consisting of the Wairarapa ↗ region, is visible in the top-right.

Pictured here are two titans of spaceflight history: Dr. Wernher von Braun ↗, one of the main figures of the early American space program and designer of both the Saturn V ↗ and V-2 ↗ rockets, and five (four visible) Rocketdyne F-1 ↗ engines, used on the Saturn V Dynamic Test Vehicle ↗. Dr. von Braun's career is noted for a great number of achievements in human spaceflight, including the Apollo mission ↗ which successfully put human beings on the moon; nevertheless, it is burdened with the shadow of his activities in the Nazi Party ↗, especially concerning his work on the V-2.

The engines behind him, in addition to being immense, have the honor of being the only engines used to get humans to the moon, as of the time of writing. Developed in the late 1950s, the {{Convert|8400|kg|lb}} engines are still the most powerful single combustion chamber liquid-propellant rocket ↗ ever made.

New Page Patrol Newsletter - May 2026



<div style="border:2px solid #90C0FF; background:#F0F0FF; width:99%; padding:4px">
<!-- do not use ;Header to make bold headers per H:DL ↗, causes errors for screen readers -->
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

thumb|400px|New Page Review queue November 2025 - May 2026 ↗

'''Backlog update'''

At the time of this message, there are 15,282 articles and 32,951 redirects awaiting review.

After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.

'''2024 and 2025 NPP Awards'''

74px|left ↗{{no ping|JTtheOG}} was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.
{{no ping|Hey man im josh}} and {{no ping|MPGuy2824}} won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.

Overall in 2024, one Platinum, two Gold, eight Silver, 12 Bronze and 45 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 66 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year. In 2025, one Platinum, ten Silver, 13 Bronze and 38 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 38 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year.

{{no ping|BoyTheKingCanDance}}, {{no ping|Rosiestep}}, {{no ping|SunDawn}}, and {{no ping|Vanderwaalforces}} were inducted into the NPP Hall of Fame ↗ for having two separate years of 2,000+ article reviews.

'''January–February backlog drive'''

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to {{no ping|JTtheOG}}, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

'''May backlog drive'''

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026 ↗.

'''PageTriage'''

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed ↗ to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket ↗ if you're interested in following along.

A demonstration of weightlessness ↗ by astronaut Clayton Anderson ↗, particularly its effect on liquids. The water's surface tension ↗ keeps it in a sphere, which here results in the light reflecting off of Anderson being refracted in such a way that it appears upside-down. It is only upside-down relative to Anderson, as there is no "up" or "down" in a weightless environment beyond convention.
