Propulsion

Bi-Liquid LOX/Ethanol for Precise, Reliable Thrust

Development Steps:

  1. High-Level Rocket Structure: Thrust Range, Vehicle Mass (+-50%)

  2. Conservative(High-Thrust) Thruster / Feed System Design + Review

  3. Fluid System Assembly, Testing, Calibration. Instrumentation and Control Development. Flight Structure Design Integration

  4. Static Fire Testing. Mass Optimization, Simulation Refinement.

  5. Flight Vehicle Integration

Thruster + Injector

Priorities: Stable, Conservative Performance and Efficient Manufacturing/Assembly

  • Injector: Unlike-Doublet Impinging, LOX-centered

  • Chamber: Ablative + Fuel Jetted Wall-Film. 6061 Aluminum Jacket.

  • Nozzle: Graphite Throat, 316L Stainless Steel Expansion
