    摘要: A method for generating electric power for a rocket system includes burning a primary solid propellant grain to create a primary high pressure gas for providing thrust to the rocket, opening a first valve to divert a portion of the high pressure gas to an auxiliary solid propellant grain for igniting the auxiliary solid propellant grain, wherein the auxiliary solid propellant grain is disposed in a housing separate from the primary solid propellant grain, and burning the auxiliary solid propellant grain to create an auxiliary high pressure gas for turning a turbine. The method further includes driving a generator with the turbine and generating an electric power with the generator.

    摘要: An effector health monitor system is configured for coupling with an energetic component. The effector health monitor system includes a characteristic sensor suite including at least first and second characteristic sensors. The first characteristic sensor is proximate to the energetic component and configured to measure a failure characteristic of the energetic component. The second characteristic sensor is configured to measure at least one environmental characteristic proximate to the energetic component. A communication hub is coupled with the first and second characteristic sensors, and is configured to communicate the measured failure and environmental characteristics outside of an effector body. A failure identification module compares the measured failure characteristic with a failure threshold and identifies a failure event. A failure model generation module logs the at least one measured environmental characteristic preceding the identified failure event with the identified failure event and generates a failure model including updating the failure model.

    摘要: A method is provided for solid-propellant engines to be dismantled safely and in accordance with environmental standards having been scrapped. For each engine to be dismantled, it is mounted on a static test rig, immersed in a tank filled with water and started such that propellant is used up under the water. The soluble part of the combustion products (gases or condensates) thus remains trapped in the water in the tank while the non-soluble solid products drop to the bottom of the tank. The body of the engine emptied of its fuel in this way and rendered pyrotechnically inert is then taken apart or disassembled. Periodically, the water in the tank is withdrawn and the tank stripped of its deposits such that subsequent dismantling operations can be carried out under proper conditions. All of the combustion products recovered are sent to appropriate reprocessing plants. The method allows high dismantling rates.

    摘要: Thruster devices for use with a lateral thrust module and/or a flight body are adapted to achieve short action times with relatively slow burning propellant materials. Such thruster devices include a combustion chamber with a plurality of propellant grains disposed therein. At least some of the plurality of propellant grains are formed into a selected shape. Methods of making thruster devices include forming a housing comprising a first longitudinal end and an opposing second longitudinal end. The housing is formed to define a combustion chamber. A plurality of propellant grains are disposed in the combustion chamber of the housing, where each propellant grain comprises a selected shape. An igniter is coupled to the housing, which igniter is adapted to initiate a combustion of the plurality of propellant grains during deployment of the thruster device.

    摘要: A case-burning rocket booster includes a combustible case containing a solid rocket fuel, a combustion chamber adjustably coupled to the case for burning the case and the solid rocket fuel, a nozzle connected to the combustion chamber for expelling the burned case and fuel to generate thrust, and a drive system for pulling the combustion chamber and nozzle up the case as the case and fuel burn. A hybrid version of the case-burning rocket also includes an oxidizer supply system for supplying varying amounts of oxidizer to the combustion chamber to vary the thrust generated by burning the case and the fuel.

    摘要: A device and method for controlling strain in a transmission line such as a power or signal transmitting wire, cable or other conduit. The device includes a body having at least one cavity formed therein for receipt of at least a portion of a transmission line. Multiple openings formed in the body allow the transmission line to extend from the at least one cavity and external to the body. The at least one cavity is defined to include a peripheral boundary formed at least partially by a first substantially linear wall and a second opposing wall which deviates from the first wall, thereby forming a deviation path for the transmission line disposed therein. A cover may be provided to cooperatively mate with the body such that it conceals the cavity or cavities formed therein.

    摘要: A method for assembling a rocket propulsion motor including a motor case and a nozzle assembly, wherein the assembling is carried out under vacuum so that air can not be presented between a silicon sealant layer and a first O-ring disposed between the motor case and the nozzle assembly, thereby preventing the generation of air passage and air pocket in a silicon sealant layer coated over the assembled portions of the rocket propulsion motor. The silicon sealant is prepared by mixing a silicon sealant material with a setting agent. The mixing is also carried out under vacuum, so as to prevent the sealant from containing air. For venting air from a space defined the silicon sealant layer and the first O-ring under vacuum, a plurality of spacing bolts are used which serve to space the motor case and the nozzle assembly at a predetermined distance.
