GREEN ADVANCED HIGH ENERGY PROPELLANTS FOR LAUNCHERS (GRAIL)
Start date: Feb 1, 2015, End date: Jan 31, 2018,
Solid rocket motors are today the most cost effective, competitive and reliable propulsion technology for space launch systems. State of the art solid rocket propellants are based on the oxidizer ammonium perchlorate, AP, and aluminium powder, embedded in a polymer binder matrix. Unfortunately, AP has a negative impact on the environment and on personal health due to ozone depletion, thyroid gland ...

High Performance Solid Propellants for In-Space Propulsion (HISP)
Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,
"The objective of this project is to significantly reduce the time, cost and mass required for spacecrafts to reach their destinations. This is directly linked to their propulsion systems. The only way to significantly improve the performance of a propulsion system is to develop propellants with higher specific impulse.The objective of the project will be met by developing a high performance solid ...
