This 300 N cryogenic propellant engine has a vacuum Isp of 415 seconds - the highest value ever achieved in Europe for an engine of such small size. Being pressure-fed‚ the engine assembly is relatively simple and avoids the need for a turbo-pump. The thrust chamber and throat region of the engine are regeneratively cooled using hydrogen propellant. The nozzle extension is radiation cooled. The engine incorporates a splash-plate injector having a star shaped configuration. Ignition and subsequent

In Physics‚ Cryogenics is the study of the Production of Very Low Temperature (Below −150 °C‚ −238 °F or 123 K) and the Behavior of Materials at those Temperatures. A person who studies Elements under Extremely Cold Temperature is called a Cryogenicist. Rather than the Relative Temperature Scales of Celsius and Fahrenheit‚ Cryogenicists use the Absolute Temperature Scales. These are Kelvin (SI units) or Rankine scale (Imperial & US units).

ABSTRACT Historically‚ cryogenic rocket engines have not been used for in-space applications due to their additional complexity‚ the mission need for high reliability‚ and the challenges of propellant boil-o& While the mission and vehicle architectures are not yet defined for the lunar and Martian robotic and human exploration objectives‚ cryogenic rocket engines offer the potential for higher performance and greater architecture/mission flexibility. In-situ cryogenic propellant production could

Cryogenics and the Future Cryogenics is a study that is of great importance to the human race and has been a major project for engineers for the last 100 years. Cryogenics‚ which is derived from the Greek word kryos meaning "Icy Cold‚" is the study of matter at low temperatures. However low is not even the right word for the temperatures involved in cryogenics‚ seeing as the highest temperature dealt with in cryogenics is 100 (C (-148 (F) and the lowest temperature used‚ is the unattainable

This drive is propelled by mankind’s ingenuity‚ curiosity‚ and determination. However‚ more importantly‚ our expanding celestial influence is propelled on the backs of rocket engines. In regards to leaving Earth’s atmosphere‚ rocket engines haven’t undergone any drastic changes since their conception. Generally‚ rocket engines derive their thrust from a chemical reaction‚ involving a fuel and an oxidizer. This combination can be applied in liquid or solid form‚

Riley Thompson Dr. Zhuk 1 November 2014 HIST150 Rock and Roll in the Rocket City Rock and Roll in the Rocket City was an interesting book because‚ the book described westernization of youth culture in one "closed" city in Soviet Ukraine during the very important historical period. One reason why this book was so interesting was that it was not the typical readings of blood-thirsty wars‚ magnificent rulers‚ etc. After reading this book‚ one would learn about so-called Soviet closed cities which

of when rockets were first invented is still unclear‚ it is believed that the Chinese invented the first “rocket” (“The History of Rocket Science”). Moreover‚ the Chinese used gunpowder‚ invented in around 100 A.D‚ and positioned it in Bamboo sticks for religious festival tradition (“The History of Rocket Science”). Large bamboo sticks were created and decorated by Monks and villagers‚ then blasted skyward to inform the Rain God Phaya Thaen that it is time to send rain down to earth (“Rocket Festival”)
