Investigation of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene propellant breaking characteristics and mechanism impacted by submerged cavitation water jet

Defence Technology
A submerged cavitation water jet (SCWJ) is an effective method to recycle solid propellant from obsolete solid engines by the breaking method. Solid propellant’s breaking modes and mechanical process under SCWJ impact are unclear.

Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene liner curing process monitoring using non-collinear ultrasonic wave mixing technique

AIP Advances
The Hydroxyl-Terminated Polybutadiene (HTPB) liner in solid rocket motors is a viscoelastic material formed through the polymerization and gelation of HTPB and toluene diisocyanate.

Update on the Ares V to Support Heavy Lift for U.S. Space Exploration Policy [PDF]

, 2008
When NASA's Ares V cargo launch vehicle begins flying late next decade, its capabilities will significantly exceed the 1960s-era Saturn V. It will send more crew and cargo to more places on the lunar surface than Apollo and provide ongoing support to a ...
