Title:
High-performance propellant additives for new state-of-the-art launch vehicles
Agreement Number:
20STDPL30
Agreement Value:
$250,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jan 26, 2021 - Aug 31, 2022
Description:
Most propellant fuels come with inherent caveats such as difficult handling, high toxicity, difficult storage, as well as performance compatibility specific to liquid-fuel engines. Hybrid engine launch vehicles have recently gained attention as promising alternatives to conventional launch vehicles. ACSYNAM is developing new propellant additives that will increase the performance of hybrid launch vehicles. The new technology is based on a proprietary materials platform that enables the development of high-energy, high-safety additives to improve the combustion and mechanical properties of hybrid engines. The propellant will be designed to be easily integrated into existing hybrid engine fuel mixtures.
