Download or read book The Development of Propulsion Technology for U S Space launch Vehicles written by J. D. Hunley and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this definitive study, J. D. Hunley traces the program?s development from Goddard?s early rockets (and the German V-2 missile) through the Titan IVA and the Space Shuttle, with a focus on space-launch vehicles. Since these rockets often evolved from early missiles, he pays considerable attention to missile technology, not as an end in itself, but as a contributor to launch-vehicle technology. Focusing especially on the engineering culture of the program, Hunley communicates this very human side of technological development by means of anecdotes, character sketches, and case studies of problems faced by rocket engineers. He shows how such a highly adaptive approach enabled the evolution of a hugely complicated technology that was impressive?but decidedly not rocket science. Unique in its single-volume coverage of the evolution of launch-vehicle technology from 1926 to 1991, this meticulously researched work will inform scholars and engineers interested in the history of technology and innovation, as well as those specializing in the history of space flight.

Download or read book Advances in Hybrid Rocket Technology and Related Analysis Methodologies written by Carmine Carmicino and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-07 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is an amazing collection of technical papers dealing with hybrid rockets. Once perceived as a niche technology, for about a decade, hybrid rockets have enjoyed renewed interest from both the propulsion technical community and industry. Hybrid motors can be used in practically all applications where a rocket is employed, but there are certain cases where they present a superior fit, such as sounding rockets, tactical missile systems, launch boosters and the emerging field of commercial space transportation. The novel space tourism business, indeed, will benefit from their safety and lower recurrent development costs. The subjects addressed in the book include the cutting edge technology employed to push forward this relatively new propulsion concept, spanning systems to improve fuel regression rate, control of the mixture ratio to optimize performance, computational fluid dynamics applied to the simulation of the internal ballistics, and some other novel system applications.
Download or read book Hybrid Propulsion for Air Force Applications Study written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hybrid Propulsion for Air Force Applications Study was performed by the Air Force Phillips Laboratory at Edwards Air Force Base, California. The hybrid propulsion study's four main objectives were (1) to conduct a survey of the current state-of-the-art technology in hybrid propulsion, (2) to determine if there is a payoff for using hybrid propulsion in Air Force missions, (3) to make recommendations as to whether or not hybrid pro- pulsion should be pursued by Phillips laboratory, and (4) if hybrid propulsion is to be pursued, produce a technology development plan. An industry survey of current state-of-the-art technology in hybrid propulsion identified several advantages and disadvantages associated with hybrid propulsion. Identified areas of concern were combustion efficiency, fuel regression rate, and mixture ratio shifts. The identified Air Force application was the use of a hybrid propulsion system in an air-to-air missile. Volume-limited designs were produced that showed that hybrid propulsion offers good potential for an air-to-air missile that can meet insensitive munitions requirements as well as provide improved energy management. A flight engagement analysis was performed to establish the mission advantage supplied by the hybrid systems formulated in the design task.

This book was released on 2007-01-14 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rocket and air-breathing propulsion systems are the foundation on which planning for future aerospace systems rests. A Review of United States Air Force and Department of Defense Aerospace Propulsion Needs assesses the existing technical base in these areas and examines the future Air Force capabilities the base will be expected to support. This report also defines gaps and recommends where future warfighter capabilities not yet fully defined could be met by current science and technology development plans.

Download or read book Propulsion Techniques written by Peter J. Turchi and published by AIAA. This book was released on 1998 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawn from early volumes of Aerospace America and its antecedents, this book rescues the insights, concerns, and dreams of dozens of space propulsion experts for the next generation of aerospace scientists and engineers. Written by well-known figures in space propulsion, this book provides readily accessible source material for design courses in astronautical engineering. Propulsion Techniques surveys the technologies of rocketry in the traditional categories of liquid, solid, hybrid, nuclear, and electric propulsion. Historical trends and cycles are displayed in each category as articles describe concepts and progress from the early visions of Goddard, Oberth, and Tsiolkovsky to proposed (and re-proposed) ideas for advanced space thrusters. In addition to descriptions of rocket engines of various types, associated technologies for propellants and space-electrical power systems are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents the history of the Ballistic Test and Evaluation System (BATES) at what was then the Air Force Rocket Propulsion Laboratory (AFRPL) over the past 40 years. The system maintains the highest accuracy possible (0.2% on thrust) and has become the equivalent of Bureau of Standards for measuring and comparing solid propellant performance. The BATES database covers several thousand firings with several hundred parameters reported per firing. The paper also discusses methodologies developed with the system, scientific discoveries made with the system, and the key role it has played in shaping the entire ballistic testing and analysis efforts in this and other countries.

Book excerpt: On November 16th, 2000 the culminination of an aggressive 23 month, jointly funded Integrated High-Payoff Rocket Propulsion Technology (IHPRPT) Phase I Missile Propulsion program by the Air Force Research Laboratory Propulsion Directorate and Alliant Techsystems resulted in a highly successful full-scale rocket motor demonstration. This motor contained the most new technology on any one demonstration since the Trident I (C4) 25 years ago. The full-scale test incorporated new case, propellant, nozzle, and control technologies in a 92 inch diameter, 120,000 pound class motor, and verified achievement of the Phase I program specific impulse, mass fraction, and cost goals. The technologies that were demonstrated have the potential to yield a 23% increase in payload capability at a 32 % lower cost for solid booster space lift applications are ready for transition into strategic missiles, small and large launch vehicles as stages or strap-on boosters. The IHPRPT Phase I Missile Propulsion demonstration is the first in a series of tests that are part of a three phased, government and industry coordinated effort that began in 1996 with the vision to double the propulsion capability by 2010. The Phase II programs, awarded during the past year, are part of the government/industry Technology for the Sustainment of Strategic Systems (TSSS) effort to maintain critical technology capability.
