Multi Burn Solid Rocket
TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY
technology Snapshot
Overview
This propulsion system enables multiple independently controllable impulses from a single solid rocket while maintaining the high thrust, safety, simplicity, reliability, scalability, and storability of traditional solid rockets.
Advantages
- Allows for complex flight maneuvers that require precise thrust modulation
- Combustion can be halted cleanly and then reinitiated
- Can place space vehicles in precise orbits for optimal performance
Problems Solved:
- Ignition system has been changed from one-time use to reusable
- Employs resettable mechanism to rapidly extinguish a burn
- Can be stored fully fueled for long periods of time
Market Applications
- Aerospace (i.e., Reusable Launch Vehicles)
- Defense and Military
- Commercial Satellites
- Space Tourism
