"Space exploration is one of Europe’s priorities. Nuclear propulsion and power sources are “…essential and enabling key assets for a significant number of exploration missions…” (2005 European WG report on Nuclear Power Sources for Space) and can thus be considered as key technologies for deep-space exploration in Europe, Russia, and the USA. On the other hand, this technological development requi ...

Laser Ignition Technology for Rocket Engines (LIROC)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2013,

"Lasers ignition of propellants offers a number of advantages as compared to existing ignition systems. The maturity and miniaturization of laser ignition devices have paved the way from laboratory experiments demonstrating the basic principle to component/subsystem validation at subscale conditions. In the frame of the proposed work the technology of laser ignition of liquid rocket engines is add ...
