Cavitating Venturi as a Mass Flow Controller in a Deep Throttling Liquid Rocket Engine

RPA: Design Tool for Liquid Rocket Engine Analysis

RPA (Rocket Propulsion Analysis) is a design tool for the performance prediction of the liquidpropellant rocket engines. RPA is written in Java and can be used under any operating system that has installed Java Runtime Environment (e.g. Mac OS ® X, Sun SolarisTM, MS WindowsTM, any Linux etc). The tool can be used either as a standalone GUI application or as an object-oriented library. This docu...

Pitch and Yaw Attitude Control of a Rocket Engine Using Hybrid Fuzzy- PID Controller

The rocket is the only vehicle that launches the spacecraft in the space. The orientation of the spacecraft in precise position is so crucial. But, the motion of the rocket can be influenced by internal and external disturbances. Furthermore, the rocket is a multi-input and multi-output nonlinear system whose dynamics are unstable and poorly understood. Hence, attitude control of the rocket is ...

The Blacklight Rocket Engine

Executive Summary This report summarizes the final project results for the period of May 1, 2002 through November 30, 2002 for the NIAC CP 01-02 Phase I study, "The BlackLight Rocket Engine". The objective of the Phase I study was to assess the potential of low pressure, mixed gas hydrogen plasmas (i.e. the BlackLight Process) toward the development of high performance space propulsion systems.
