Text of the page (random words):
acrylonitrile pban polymer a non urethane rubber binder that held the mixture together and acted as secondary fuel 12 04 and an epoxy curing agent 1 96 33 34 it developed a specific impulse of 242 seconds 2 37 km s at sea level or 268 seconds 2 63 km s in a vacuum the 2005 2009 constellation program was to use a similar pban bound apcp 35 in 2009 a group succeeded in creating a propellant of water and nanoaluminium alice candy propellants edit in general rocket candy propellants are an oxidizer typically potassium nitrate and a sugar fuel typically dextrose sorbitol or sucrose that are cast into shape by gently melting the propellant constituents together and pouring or packing the amorphous colloid into a mold candy propellants generate a low medium specific impulse of roughly 130 s 1 3 km s and thus are used primarily by amateur and experimental rocketeers high energy composite hec propellants edit typical hec propellants start with a standard composite propellant mixture such as apcp and add a high energy explosive to the mix this extra component usually is in the form of small crystals of rdx or hmx both of which have higher energy than ammonium perchlorate despite a modest increase in specific impulse implementation is limited due to the increased hazards of the high explosive additives composite modified double base propellants edit composite modified double base propellants start with a nitrocellulose nitroglycerin double base propellant as a binder and add solids typically ammonium perchlorate ap and powdered aluminium normally used in composite propellants the ammonium perchlorate makes up the oxygen deficit introduced by using nitrocellulose improving the overall specific impulse the aluminium improves specific impulse as well as combustion stability high performing propellants such as nepe 75 used to fuel the trident ii d 5 slbm replace most of the ap with polyethylene glycol bound hmx further increasing specific impulse the mixing of composite and double base propellant ingredients has become so common as to blur the functional definition of double base propellants minimum signature smokeless propellants edit one of the most active areas of solid propellant research is the development of high energy minimum signature propellant using c 6 h 6 n 6 no 2 6 cl 20 china lake compound 20 which has 14 higher energy per mass and 20 higher energy density than hmx the new propellant has been successfully developed and tested in tactical rocket motors the propellant is non polluting acid free solid particulates free and lead free it is also smokeless and has only a faint shock diamond pattern that is visible in the otherwise transparent exhaust without the bright flame and dense smoke trail produced by the burning of aluminized propellants these smokeless propellants all but eliminate the risk of giving away the positions from which the missiles are fired the new cl 20 propellant is shock insensitive hazard class 1 3 as opposed to current hmx smokeless propellants which are highly detonable hazard class 1 1 cl 20 is considered a major breakthrough in solid rocket propellant technology but has yet to see widespread use because costs remain high 28 electric solid propellants edit electric solid propellants esps are a family of high performance plastisol solid propellants that can be ignited and throttled by the application of electric current unlike conventional rocket motor propellants that are difficult to control and extinguish esps can be ignited reliably at precise intervals and durations it requires no moving parts and the propellant is insensitive to flames or electrical sparks 36 hobby and amateur model rocketry edit solid propellant rocket motors can be bought for use in model rocketry they are normally small cylinders of black powder fuel with an integral nozzle and optionally a small charge that is set off when the propellant is exhausted after a time delay this charge can be used to trigger a camera or deploy a parachute without this charge and delay the motor may ignite a second stage black powder only in amateur rocketry candy propellants are common because they offer relative safety and ease of production ingredients that are readily available publicly and a higher specific impulse than blackpowder motors in mid and high power rocketry commercially made apcp motors are widely used they can be designed as either single use or reloadables these motors are available in impulse ranges from a 1 26 ns 2 50 ns to o 20 48 kns 40 96 kns from several manufacturers they are manufactured in standardized diameters and varying lengths depending on required impulse standard motor diameters are 13 18 24 29 38 54 75 98 and 150 millimeters different propellant formulations are available to produce different thrust profiles as well as special effects such as colored flames smoke trails or large quantities of sparks produced by adding titanium sponge to the mix use edit sounding rockets edit almost all sounding rockets use solid motors astrobee black brant s 310 s 520 skylark rocket terrier orion terrier malemute vsb 30 missiles

capacity rocket to get into orbit with only solid rocket motors larger liquid fueled orbital rockets often use solid rocket boosters to gain enough initial thrust to launch the fully fueled rocket main article solid rocket booster delta ii titan iv space shuttle space launch system ariane 5 atlas ii atlas v optionally 1 5 boosters delta iv optionally 2 or 4 boosters h iia h iib pslv optional solid boosters to lift heavier payloads gslv mk iii solid fuel is also used for some upper stages particularly the star 37 sometimes referred to as the burner upper stage and the star 48 sometimes referred to as the payload assist module or pam both manufactured originally by thiokol and today by northrop grumman they are used to lift large payloads to intended orbits such as the global positioning system satellites or smaller payloads to interplanetary or even interstellar trajectories another solid fuel upper stage used by the space shuttle and the titan iv was the boeing manufactured inertial upper stage ius pioneer 10 and pioneer 11 were both sent out of the solar system by star 37e upper stages from atlas centaur rockets voyager 1 and voyager 2 were both sent out of the solar system by star 37e upper stages from titan iiie rockets magellan was sent to venus on an ius after being deployed from space shuttle atlantis on sts 30 galileo was sent to jupiter on an ius after being deployed from space shuttle atlantis on sts 34 ulysses was sent to jupiter on an ius and a star 48 pam after being deployed from space shuttle discovery on sts 41 it then was placed in a polar orbit around the sun following a gravity assist around jupiter new horizons was sent out of the solar system on a star 48 pam from an atlas v rocket some rockets like the antares manufactured by northrop grumman have mandatory solid fuel upper stages the antares rocket uses the northrop grumman manufactured castor 30 as an upper stage advanced research edit environmentally sensitive fuel
