摘要: A liquid fuel rocket engine according to one example includes a combustor, a liquid fuel repository connected to the combustor via a fuel line and a first valve, an oxidizer repository connected to the combustor via an oxidizer line and a second valve, a valve controller configured to output a valve control current to the first valve, the valve controller storing instructions for determining at least one actual minimum impulse bit of a valve based on a current profile and a voltage profile of a single operation of the first valve, and to adjust valve controls to account for the at least one actual minimum impulse bit.

摘要: A valve device (20) includes male and female housings (22, 24) that together define a fluid through-passage (28). The male and female housings have, respectively, exterior and interior annular channels (22a, 24a). The male housing is receivable into the female housing such that the exterior and interior annular channels together define a toroidal tube. First and second valve elements (30,32) are disposed, respectively, in the male and female housings. Ball locks (36) are receivable into the toroidal tube and axially lock the male and female housings together. A lock (40) engageable when the first and second valve elements are in functional alignment and which when engaged rotationally locks the male and female housings.

摘要: A liquid propellant rocket engine includes a combustion chamber that has a throat and a nozzle aft of the throat. The nozzle has a first nozzle section adjacent the throat and a second nozzle section aft of the first nozzle section. The first nozzle section includes active cooling features and the second nozzle section excludes any active cooling features. The first nozzle section is operative via at least the active cooling features to form a condensate that passively cools the second nozzle section.

摘要: A propulsion system includes at least one group of electric thrusters that are spatially distributed in a multi-axis system. A controller is in communication with each of the electric thrusters. The controller is configured to differentially throttle the thrusts of the electric thrusters with respect to propulsion force about two axes of the multi-axis system.

摘要: A circuit (400, 700, 800) comprising: a first power source (402) supplying first current to a load (470) during a first Period of Time (“PoT”); a second power source (416) supplying a second current to the load during a second POT; a Unidirectional Current Valve (“UCV”) in series with the first power source; a current detector (420, 702, 802) in series with the UCV (422); and a switch (424) in parallel with a series combination of the current detector and UCV to bypass the UCV during the second PoT. The current detector determines whether the second period of time has commenced and whether the switch has closed.
