摘要: A high temperature thermal protection systems for rockets, and associated methods, is disclosed. A representative system includes a launch vehicle having a first end and a second end generally opposite the first end. The launch vehicle is elongated along a vehicle axis extending between the first and second ends and carries a propulsion system having at least one nozzle positioned at the second end of the launch vehicle. A thermal protection apparatus positioned around the nozzle is used to provide cooling and/or insulation to the nozzle during the flight of the launch vehicle. The thermal protection apparatus can include multiple fabric layers and an insulation layer stacked and stitched together. The fabric layers can include metal alloy fibers. In representative systems, the thermal protection apparatus can further include provisions for water that saturates the insulation layer to provide further insulating and/or cooling effects.

摘要: A rocket propulsion system that may include a supersonic rocket nozzle with a supersonic divergent section, and a heat transfer system configured to transfer heat from the supersonic rocket nozzle to a propellant where a portion of the propellant may be selectively injected, combusted, and expanded in the supersonic nozzle generating an additional thrust. In examples, the heated propellant may be used to power a pump system to feed the rocket engine.

摘要: To use launchpad based laser beam generators to stream 50+ kilowatt laser beams up through clear fused quartz discs located in the base of the rocket to super heat the steam in the rocket's pressure chamber for the purpose of increasing the thrusting power of the rocket. This rocket does not use fossil fuel, but rather it uses 99% pure hydrogen peroxide fuel, (H2O2) which flashes into steam without the use of combustion.

摘要: A mixing tube with multiple shapes is provided, allowing additional injection of gas in order to keep the flow detached from the second shape in an ascent phase and to bring about, in a descent phase, a controlled detachment as a result of the change of slope between the two shapes. A propulsion nozzle for an engine of a spacecraft or aircraft is provided including such a mixing tube and a method for controlling the speed transition of the propulsion gases in such a nozzle in accordance with the altitude. Also, a method is provided for vectorising the thrust in such a nozzle by radial and asymmetrical injection of gas and a control method which prevents re-attachment of the jet to the second shape of such a propulsion nozzle for an engine of a spacecraft when it is in the take-off or landing phase.

摘要: A solid rocket motor is described that includes a solid propellant section, a nozzle, and a source of monopropellant, such as liquid monopropellant. The monopropellant is used to control various operational parameters of the solid rocket motor, such as thrust vector control, roll control, extinguishment of the motor, and cooling of the nozzle and/or nozzle throat. The nozzle and the nozzle throat can be an integrated, single piece assembly that facilitates re-use of the nozzle.
