CHAMBER GAS SECONDARY INJECTION THRUST VECTOR CONTROL FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE SOLID ROCKET MOTORS

Abstract

The primary objectives of this program are (1) to demonstrate a thrust vector control (TVC) system optimized for overall propulsion efficiency for advanced upper-stage ICBM rocket motors, and (2) to provide the data and technology necessary for design of future TVC systems. The proposed TVC system is comprised of four poppet valves mounted 90 deg apart on a submerged nozzle. Three nonactuated versions of the submerged hot gas valve were evaluated by static testing. The primary difference between the three designs was the length of the dam enshrouding the centerbody and pintle in the subsonic portion of the valve. (Author)
