An array of propellants are evaluated in combustion chamber and engine tests under ambient and vacuum conditions. The research facility for experiments under vacuum-like conditions is the only one of ...

The combustion chamber is first precooled by the methane flowing through it. This causes humidity in the air to condense and ice to form on the combustion chamber. The cooling starts in the nozzle ...

However, while boron has been investigated for such applications since the 1940s, this propellant has been difficult to tame due to its variable and complex combustion behaviour. Alla Pivkina ...
