Abstract
A dual-mode use Solid Controlled and Hybrid Rocket Engine, in the form of a cord/filament, of variable length, and single or multiple diameters, or shapes, coaxially packaged or comprising at least one, or more, canister-built common use bobbin-propellant housing(s), and at least one, or more, common use rocket engine combustion chamber(s), control feeding(s), and safety feature hardware, for modular-interchangeable space vehicle architectures, built-in variable performance feature-ability, for novel general propulsion uses.
Claims18
A system comprising:
- means for providing a Solid Controlled Rocket Engine based on a solid propellant cord;
- means for feeding said propellant cord, wherein said feeding means comprise a coaxially packaged or bobbin-like structure and coupled drive system;
- and
- means for combustion control, wherein said combustion control means is a Safety Feed Through (SFT) hardware component assembly.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- means for providing a hybrid propulsion rocket engine based on hybrid propellant, wherein said hybrid propellant is used independently or in combination with a solid system;
- and
- means for filament feeding and coupled drive system of said hybrid propellant.
A Controlled Solid Propulsion System comprising:
- at least one canister-built solid propellant housing configured to hold at least one solid propellant, wherein said propellant is in the form of a cord of variable length and suitable single or multiple diameters, wherein the cross-sectional area of the cord is circular or any other useful shape for thrust management purposes and the utility scope.
