Abstract: Solid rocket motors have been designed, tested, and characterized reasonably well since the 1960’s and have been used for a variety of applications, such as space shuttle boosters and ...

Los Alamos National Laboratory has a radical new solid propellent for cubesats. Unlike a traditional composite propellant, which mechanically mixes a fuel and an oxidizer into a high explosive, the ...

Video showing combustion of a composite solid propellant with oxidizer-encapsulated nanoscale catalysts using OH planar laser induced fluorescence imaging. Purdue-patented technology aims to address ...

NEW DELHI — India has established a state-of-the-art composite rocket propellant processing facility. The Advanced Center for Energetic Materials will help meet the requirements of composite ...

Boron-based solid propellants have attracted considerable attention due to boron’s exceptional volumetric and gravimetric calorific values, which are critical for high-energy propulsion systems.

A solid-propellant rocket or solid rocket is a rocket with a rocket engine that uses solid propellants (fuel/oxidizer). The earliest rockets were solid-fuel rockets powered by gunpowder; they were ...
