Electric Rocket Launcher Aircraft—Drone-Launched Short Range Rocket System

چکیده
This paper is concerned with the idea of a significant improvement state-of-the-art short-range rockets by means using rocket artillery systems. Such system consists launcher aircraft (RLA) and drone-launched short range (DLSRR). An RLA reusable first stage military rocket. A DLSRR expendable second stage, which flies to target. RLA-DLSRR systems have not yet been built, but they described in previous works author. State-of-the-art are completely and, hence, extremely expensive. No has built so far. Civilian spaceships stages successful since 2015. In an electrically pumped engine, fuel oxidizer into combustion chamber electric-motor-driven pump. The electric motor powered battery bank. Electrically engines would further decrease cost These less expensive more reliable then conventional engines. present paper, it shown that commercially available lithium polymer banks, as well high specific power motors, provide sufficient for needed example given, calculated ERLA–DLSRR liftoff mass 15 tons can deliver 210 kg payload up 567 km impact velocity 2415 m/s.

MicroLaunch: The Electric Rocket
MicroLaunch is a potentially game changing development for access to space for nano and pico satellites (1 to 50kg) which today are being used in ever greater numbers by commercial providers (e.g. Skybox Imaging, Planet Labs), universities, domestic space agencies and military research organisations. These satellites are poorly served by today’s launch marcet, generally having to ‘piggy back’ a...
متن کاملElectric Rocket Engine System R&D
1. Pulsed Plasma Thruster Pulsed plasma thrusters (PPTs) are expected to be used as a thruster for a small satellite. The PPT has some features superior to other kinds of electric propulsion. It has no sealing part, simple structure and high reliability, which are benefits of using a solid propellant, mainly Teflon (poly-tetrafluoroethylene: PTFE). However, performances of PPTs are generally lo...
متن کاملReal-time Impact Control of a Solid Rocket Motor Stage during Launcher Ascent
Unlike a liquid propellant stage which allows stopping the thrust at any time during the flight, when a solid rocket motor is used on a Launcher upper stage, the impact zone can be very large due to the atmospheric and propulsive dispersions on the current stage and the previous stages. In this case a stage impact control is required. In this study, an active impact control strategy is presente...
