Owing to technology maturity, simplicity, and reliability, in the near future (2010-2020) solid rocket propulsion will continue to play a main role in the development of Expendable Launch Vehicles (ELV's), both as first stages of heavy launchers and main stages of small/medium launchers. In this context, a cooperation was started between Avio and Politecnico di Milano - SPLab addressed to the study of Ammonium Nitrate - based composite rocket propellant combustion. The objective is to identify an optimum AN+AP dual oxidizer system and understand its basic combustion properties in view of possible space propulsion applications.

Abstract

Owing to technology maturity, simplicity, and reliability, in the near future (2010-2020) solid rocket propulsion will continue to play a main role in the development of Expendable Launch Vehicles (ELV's), both as first stages of heavy launchers and main stages of small/medium launchers. In this context, a cooperation was started between Avio and Politecnico di Milano - SPLab addressed to the study of Ammonium Nitrate - based composite rocket propellant combustion. The objective is to identify an optimum AN+AP dual oxidizer system and understand its basic combustion properties in view of possible space propulsion applications.
