Book excerpt: A shift in emphasis to a ground-based, ballistic missile defense structure, like the present GPALS concept, requires moderately advanced SRM technology but at significantly lower costs in order to be viable for FSD and/or deployment. Improving interceptor propulsion system performance while reducing overall weight and controlling costs continues to receive major emphasis within the construct of the Strategic Initiative. This paper provides an update of advances being accomplished in interceptor solid rocket booster motors as part of the USASDC's Solid Propellant Booster Development (SPBD) Program (USASDC Contract DASG60-89-C-0086). Advanced, yet cost effective, tapered composite cases; high performance (low-weight) nozzles; High-view-rate, high-response thrust vector control (TVC); laser-fibre optic ignition; and high-energy, versatile-burn-rate propellant are discussed in the context of an integrated SRM demonstration program. The SPBD Program has resulted in these advanced SRM technologies being demonstrated in a series of motor static tests that began in August 1991. A portion of the Thiokol TX868 SPBD motors may be fired with the advanced integrally-actuated (Thiovec(registered)) TVC nozzle bearing. Developmental data are summarized and typical flight-test vehicle configurations are presented in this discussion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, a translation of the French title Technologie des Propergols Solides, offers otherwise unavailable information on the subject of solid propellants and their use in rocket propulsion. The fundamentals of rocket propulsion are developed in chapter one and detailed descriptions of concepts are covered in the following chapters. Specific design methods and the theoretical physics underlying them are presented, and finally the industrial production of the propellant itself is explained. The material used in the book has been collected from different countries, as the development of this field has occurred separately due to the classified nature of the subject. Thus the reader not only has an overall picture of solid rocket propulsion technology but a comprehensive view of its different developmental permutations worldwide.

This book was released on 2008-09-26 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern energetic materials include explosives, blasting powders, pyrotechnic m- tures and rocket propellants [1, 2]. The study of high-temperature decomposition of condensed phases of propellants and their components (liquid, solid and hybrid) is currently of special importance for the development of space-system engineering [3, 4]. To better understand the burning mechanisms (stationary, nonstationary, - steady) of composite solid propellants and their components, information about the macrokinetics of their high-temperature decomposition is required [5]. To be able to evaluate the ignition parameters and conditions of safe handling of heat-affected explosives, one needs to know the kinetic constants of their high-temperature - composition. The development of new composite solid propellants characterized by high performance characteristics (high burning rates, high thermal stability, stability to intrachamber perturbations, and other aspects) is not possible without quanti- tive data on the high-temperature decomposition of composite solid propellants and their components [6]. The same reasons have resulted in signi?cant theoretical and practical interest in the high-temperature decomposition of components of hybrid propellants. It is known that hybrid propellants have not been used very widely due to the low bu- ing (pyrolysis) rates of the polymer blocks in the combustion chambers of hybrid rocket engines. To increase the burning rates it is necessary to obtain information about their relationships to the corresponding kinetic and thermophysical prop- ties of the fuels.

Download or read book Development of Low thrust Solid Rocket Motors for Small Fast Aircraft Propulsion written by Matthew T. Vernacchia and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small, uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) are expanding the capabilities of aircraft systems. However, a gap exists in the size and capability of aircraft: no small aircraft are capable of sustained fast flight. A small, fast aircraft requires a propulsion system which is both miniature and high-power, requirements which current UAV propulsion technologies do not meet. Solid propellant rocket motors could be used, but must be re-engineered to operate at much lower thrust and for much longer burn times than conventional small solid rocket motors. This imposes unique demands on the motor and propellant. This work investigates technological challenges of small, low-thrust solid rocket motors: slow-burn solid propellants, motors which have low thrust relative to their size (and thus have low chamber pressure), thermal protection for the motor case, and small nozzles which can withstand long burn times. Slow-burn propellants were developed using ammonium perchlorate oxidizer and the burn rate suppressant oxamide. By varying the amount of oxamide (from 0-20%), burn rates from 4mms−1 to 1mms−1 (at 1MPa) were achieved. Using these propellants, a low-thrust motor successfully operated at a (thrust / burn area) ratio 10 times less than that of typical solid rocket motors. This motor can provide 5–10N of thrust for 1-3 minutes. An ablative thermal protection liner was tested in these firings. Despite the long burn time, only a few millimeters of ablative are needed. A new ceramic-insulated nozzle was demonstrated on this motor. The nozzle has a small throat diameter (only a few millimeters) and can operate in thermal steady-state. Models were developed for the propellant burn rate, motor design, heat transfer within the motor and nozzle, and for thermal stresses in the nozzle insulation. This work shows that small, low-thrust solid motors are feasible, by demonstrating these key technologies in a prototype motor. Further, the experimental results and models will enable engineers to design and predict the performance of solid rocket motors for small, fast aircraft. By providing insight into the physics of these motors, this thesis may help to enable a new option for aircraft propulsion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On June 15, 2011, the Air Force Space Command established a new vision, mission, and set of goals to ensure continued U.S. dominance in space and cyberspace mission areas. Subsequently, and in coordination with the Air Force Research Laboratory, the Space and Missile Systems Center, and the 14th and 24th Air Forces, the Air Force Space Command identified four long-term science and technology (S&T) challenges critical to meeting these goals. One of these challenges is to provide full-spectrum launch capability at dramatically lower cost, and a reusable booster system (RBS) has been proposed as an approach to meet this challenge. The Air Force Space Command asked the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board of the National Research Council to conduct an independent review and assessment of the RBS concept prior to considering a continuation of RBS-related activities within the Air Force Research Laboratory portfolio and before initiating a more extensive RBS development program. The committee for the Reusable Booster System: Review and Assessment was formed in response to that request and charged with reviewing and assessing the criteria and assumptions used in the current RBS plans, the cost model methodologies used to fame [frame?] the RBS business case, and the technical maturity and development plans of key elements critical to RBS implementation. The committee consisted of experts not connected with current RBS activities who have significant expertise in launch vehicle design and operation, research and technology development and implementation, space system operations, and cost analysis. The committee solicited and received input on the Air Force launch requirements, the baseline RBS concept, cost models and assessment, and technology readiness. The committee also received input from industry associated with RBS concept, industry independent of the RBS concept, and propulsion system providers which is summarized in Reusable Booster System: Review and Assessment.

Although its potentialities and capabilities in many areas have been recognized for centuries, it is only in recent years that scientists have had the materials and the manufacturing techniques at their command so they could control and direct the tremendous forces available. Space exploration and manned flights by astronauts have brought the science of rocketry to the attention of the general public. It has also stimulated the interest of students at all levels of advancement in the technical details of space flight. Rocket Propellant Technologies is written for serious students of astronautics. This volume reviews briefly the history of rocketry and the fundamental principles connected with rocket propulsion. Types of propellants, the chemical reactions involved, and the techniques used in manufacturing are explained. The merits of solid and liquid fuels are enumerated. Exotic propellants of the future are discussed, with reasons why their development is essential. Finally, the safety aspects of manufacturing and testing rocket propellants are given in detail. The Amateur Rocket Association under whose guidance this series has been prepared, serves as a focal point for many related activities, bringing new ideas to the attention of its members and offering suggestions for future lines of research.
