Description

The proposed technology will specifically seek to conduct feasibility studies, define preliminary designs, and establish material property databases for Engineered Printed Propulsion Technology for solid rocket motor pintle applications. This technology will offer improved thermal management / resistances compared to solid components simply by the reduction in cross section area. This advanced concept will be demonstrated during the Phase I research and development work plan by completing tasks related to: propulsion system identification; material property database development; feasibility and preliminary design and analysis trade studies; printed tungsten-rhenium alloy material characterization; and prototype pintle fabrication.
