Hybrid Rocket Propulsion Technology for Sounding Rocket Development

Hybrid combustion technology has recently been employed in the sounding rocket developments to support the science experiments of academic applications and the establishment of a viable flight test platform for space components development. Due to its safety nature in material handling and combustion processes, hybrid rockets are suitable for university and research institute environments for a...

Machine Learning for Rocket Propulsion Health Monitoring

This paper describes the initial results of applying two machine-learning-based unsupervised anomaly detection algorithms, Orca and GritBot, to data from two rocket propulsion testbeds. The first testbed uses historical data from the Space Shuttle Main Engine. The second testbed uses data from an experimental rocket engine test stand located at NASA Stennis Space Center. The paper describes fou...

SCORES: Developing an Object-Oriented Rocket Propulsion Analysis Tool

SCORES (SpaceCraft Object-oriented Rocket Engine Simulation) is an analysis tool being developed for conceptual-level spacecraft and launch vehicle design. Written in C++, SCORES provides rocket thrust and Isp for propulsion system trade studies. Common gateway interface scripts, written in Perl, provide an interface with the World Wide Web. The design parameters used in SCORES are mixture rati...
