We propose a Nonlinear Model Predictive Control approach to spacecraft rendezvous in non-Keplerian Lunar orbits. The approach is based on the Pontryagin Minimum Prin-ciple and allows the ...

Welcome to Edition 8.02 of the Rocket Report! It's worth taking a moment to recognize an important anniversary in the history ...

The work reported here is the result of using a special solid fuel developed as a working fluid for MHD generators by Hercules Inc. Conductivity measurements of the combustion products were made using ...

A Virginia-based propulsion-focused company conducted a full-scale static fire of NASA’s Booster Obsolescence and ...

The rheological properties of the propellant slurry and droplet dynamics during the casting process play a critical role in the manufacturing of propellants. This study systematically investigated the ...

This is a mandrel around which solid propellants for rocket motors are formed. It was used for this purpose by the Atlantic Research Corporation (ARC). Founded shortly after World War II, ARC became a ...
