Extractions: W elcome to the Plasmadynamics and Electric Propulsion Laboratory (PEPL) at the University of Michigan Department of Aerospace Engineering . The lab was founded in 1992 under the direction of Professor Alec Gallimore and since that time has been embarked on an experimental and theoretical program with the following goals: To make electric propulsion (EP) devices more efficient and of better performance; To understand spacecraft integration issues that could impede the widespread use of these devices on scientific, commercial, and military spacecraft; and To identify non-propulsion applications of EP systems (e.g., plasma processing, space-plasma simulation). The centerpiece of the laboratory is the large vacuum test facility that was built in the early 1960s by the Bendix corporation and was later donated to the university in 1982. This cylindrical stainless-steel clad tank, which is 9 m long and 6 m in diameter, is the largest vacuum facility of its kind at any university in the nation. At high-vacuum, the chamber employs seven cryopumps, with a combined pumping speed of 500,000 l/s on air, and 240,000 l/s on xenon.

Now, at the beginning of the 21st century, aerospace engineers are devising innovative ways to take us to the stars , including light propulsion nuclear-fusion propulsion and antimatter propulsion. A new type of spacecraft that lacks any propellant is also being proposed. This type of spacecraft, which would be jolted through space by electromagnets , could take us farther than any of these other methods.

Ion Engines
Ion Engines are the most exciting new rocket propulsion system since the Chinese invented the rocket about a thousand years ago.
http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/ion_engine_interactive/index.html

Extractions: Ion Engines are the most exciting new rocket propulsion system since the Chinese invented the rocket about a thousand years ago. Most rocket engines use chemical reactions for power. They combine various gases and liquids to form chemical explosions which push the rocket through space. Chemical rocket engines tend to be powerful but have a short lifetime. Ion Engines use electric fields instead of chemical reactions. Ion Engines tend to be much less powerful, but they are so efficient, they can last for years before running out of fuel. These activities should help you understand how Ion Engines work. Before you can understand the entire Ion Engine, you need to understand some basics about electric charges.

An advanced plasma propulsion system that will create a large scale magnetic bubble around the spacecraft to ride the solar winds.
http://www.ess.washington.edu/Space/propulsion.html

Extractions: Advanced Electric Propulsion Chemical rockets have limited application for space applications due to the fact that the fuel is relatively slow (low specific impulse) relative to the speeds needed to move efficiently about the solar system. As a results chemcial systems are massive, and the trip times for missions are very long. Research at UW in this area is for the development of faster propellants that can provide substantial reductions in cost and trip time. To achieve these efficiencies plasma systems (i.e. charged particles) are required where electric and magnetic field can be used to accelerate the plasma propellants to speeds more than an order of magnitude faster than can be achieved by chemical rockets. The systems below detail devices under active development. Robert M. Winglee High Power Helicon is an electrodeless plasma thruster that is able run at kW to 100's kW to produce thruster levels as high as several Newtons of force, at high power and gas effciency.

Learn the basics of designing, building and testing liquid fuel rocket engines Search E.R.P.S. Site: This site best viewed from low earth orbit ... The E.R.P.S. was founded in February of 1993 to gather together interested amateurs to learn about, design, build, and test liquid fuel rocket engines. The group early on decided to concentrate on developing and testing high density storable propellant combinations because they allowed the maximum amount of work to be done with the minimum amount of risk to life and limb. After research and consultations, high density Hydrogen Peroxide (H O ) was selected as the oxidizer of choice, with the intent to combine it with a high-density kerosene such as JP5 or regular Jet-A. Peroxide, when catalyzed, produces steam (2 H O) and pure oxygen (O ) at high temperatures. Peroxide makes a fair mono-propellant when used in concentrations above 95% and there was historical experience (the British ' Black Knight ' program of the late 60's and early 70's) to show that respectable performances and capabilities could be developed even at lower concentration when combined with a high density liquid hydrocarbon. The British, however, limited themselves by the catalyst they chose to work with, silver screens. Because the melting point of silver is low (936.93

Extractions: Propulsion Company Under sponsorship from a US Air Force Research Laboratory contract, WSPC has demonstrated the key technology required to throttle a solid rocket motor from "idle" to full power in real time. This breaks down a major barrier between solid and liquid propulsion systems for Space boosters and launch vehicle applications. Previous methods of throttling solid rocket motors has focused on pintle nozzles, but WSPC's new control method does not use a pintle nozzle. Further test firings are planned leading up to the demonstration of a half-scale version of WSPC's SLV third stage. November 6, 2006 For more information click here. The rocket nozzle not only controls the thrust level of the missile, but also provides thrust vector control to steer it. The U.S .military needs more capable tactical missiles to hit more sophisticated enemy aircraft and fast moving ground targets. WSPC's new rocket motor would significantly enhance American tactical missile capabilities. April 6, 2006 - The Air Force Research Laboratory has written an article on WSPC's work on a new Small Launch Vehicle (SLV) on its homepage.
