Pressure Hardware Analysis and Testing Verification Guide
| Synopsis: |
Pressure vessels (PVs) are some of the most critical components used in space systems from a safety and mission reliability point of view. Before 1998, all space flight PVs were designed, analyzed, and qualified per MIL-STD-1522A. In 1995, industry started to develop standards to replace 1522A. In 1998, AIAA S-080, which establishes the requirements for metallic PVs, was published. A sister standard, AIAA S-081, which sets forth requirements for composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs), was released. However, S-080 and S-081 and ISO 14623 only specify, “what-to-do,” not “how-to-do.” This short course provides guidance for the implementation of these standards. Important inclusions are leak-before-burst demonstrations for metallic pressure vessels and metallic liners for COPVs, impact damage tolerance test procedures for COPVs, general vibration tests for pressure vessels, and qualification by similarity conditions. |

Hybrid Rocket Propulsion
| Synopsis: |
The “Hybrid Rocket Propulsion” short course is quintessential for all professionals specializing in chemical propulsion. The mechanisms associated with hybrid combustion and propulsion are diverse and affect our abilities to successfully advance and sustain the development of hybrid technology. It is our penultimate goal to promote the science of hybrid rocketry which is safe enough to be used in academia and the private sector. A historical demonstration of hybrid rocket capability is the 2004 X-prize winner SpaceShipOne. This course reviews the fundamentals of hybrid rocket propulsion with special emphasis on application-based design and system integration, propellant selection, flow field and regression rate modeling, solid fuel pyrolysis, scaling effects, transient behavior, and combustion instability. |
