Hybrid Rocket/Airbreathing Propulsion for Ballistic Space Transportation
Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, 1980The potential payload gains due to airbreathing propulsion are evaluated for a one-and-one-half stage reusable vertical-takeoff ballistic space transporter with a gross mass of 155 Mg. The system consists of a returnable ring of turborocket/ramjet engines added as a half-stage to the structure of a 130 Mg, single-stage, vertical-takeoff-vertical ...

Paraffin-based Fuels and Energetic Additives for Hybrid Rocket Propulsion
51st AIAA/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference, 2015Energetic additives for hybrid rocket propulsion, investigated at the Space Propulsion Laboratory (SPLab) of Politecnico di Milano, are discussed in this paper in order to estimate the potential increase of hybrid rocket performance. Traditional HTPB-based and paraffin-based fuels are considered, with special emphasis to the second ones.

Multifunction Sounding Rocket System Development with Advanced Hybrid Propulsion
51st AIAA/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference, 2015Hybrid rocket propulsion is deemed to be advantageous to its solid and liquid counterparts for the safety nature of the designs. With the proposed innovation in this research using dual-vortical-flow (DVF) chambers, hybrid rocket engines can also deliver thrust performance close to that of kerosene liquid engines but with much reduced production cost ...

Hybrid rocket propulsion systems for outer planet exploration missions
Acta Astronautica, 2016Abstract Outer planet exploration missions require significant propulsive capability, particularly to achieve orbit insertion. Missions to explore the moons of outer planets place even more demanding requirements on propulsion systems, since they involve multiple large Δ V maneuvers.

Innovative Metallized Formulations for Solid or Hybrid Rocket Propulsion
2012Several metallized solid rocket propellants, of the broad family AP/Metal/HTPB in the ratio 68/18/14, were experimentally analyzed at the Space Propulsion Laboratory of Politecnico di Milano. In general, they feature the same nominal composition, but different metals (micrometric and nanometric Al, B, Mg, and a variety of dual metals) are implemented ...
