This project will test the performance of LOx/RP1-A1 propellants in rocket engines that have an innovative stage combustion chamber and improved chamber and nozzle contouring. To this end, injector and engine designs will be generated during Phase I. The flow properties of the metalized fuel will also be investigated.

Potential Commercial Applications:
Metalized propellants will improve the performance of pressure-fed sounding rockets and rocket boosters.
