Test Activities on Hybrid Rocket Engines: Combustion Analyses and Green Storable Oxidizers—A Short Review

open access: yesAerospace, 2023
Hybrid rocket engines (HREs) offer a low-cost, reliable, and environmentally friendly solution for both launch and in-space applications. Hybrid propellants have been identified as green thanks to their use of non-toxic, non-carcinogenic oxidizers.

The Role of Thrusters in Space Systems [PDF]

open access: yesفناوری در مهندسی هوافضا, 2020
Spacecrafts, such as artificial satellites and space probes have small rockets called thrusters for orbital maneuvering, and satellite attitude control. These thrusters produce thrust by exhausting gases from their nozzles.

Evaluating New Liquid Storable Bipropellants: Safety and Performance Assessments

open access: yesAerospace, 2022
Conventional storable bipropellants make use of hydrazine and its derivatives as fuels and nitrogen tetroxide as an oxidizer. In recent years, the toxicity character of these chemicals pushed the propulsion community towards “green” alternatives. Several

Kinetic Stability and Propellant Performance of Green Energetic Materials [PDF]

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, 2010
AbstractA thorough theoretical investigation of four promising green energetic materials is presented. The kinetic stability of the dinitramide, trinitrogen dioxide, pentazole, and oxopentazole anions has been evaluated in the gas phase and in solution by using high‐level ab initio and DFT calculations.
