Demonstrators for Conversion, Reactor, Radiator And Thrusters for Electric Propulsion Systems (DEMOCRITOS)
Date du début: 1 mars 2015, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2017,
The objective of this proposal is to investigate the necessary demonstration activities in order to mature technologies for nuclear electric propulsion (NEP) systems that is considered one of the key enabler to allow deep exploration and science missions both manned and unmanned. The DEMOCRITOS projects aims to define three Demonstrator Concepts in regards to NEP technologies: 1. Detailed prelimin ...

Megawatt Highly Efficient Technologies for Space Power and Propulsion Systems for Long-duration Exploration Missions (MEGAHIT)
Date du début: 1 mars 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2014,
"Space exploration is one of Europe’s priorities. Nuclear propulsion and power sources are “…essential and enabling key assets for a significant number of exploration missions…” (2005 European WG report on Nuclear Power Sources for Space) and can thus be considered as key technologies for deep-space exploration in Europe, Russia, and the USA. On the other hand, this technological development requi ...

Laser Ignition Technology for Rocket Engines (LIROC)
Date du début: 1 juin 2011, Date de fin: 31 mai 2013,
"Lasers ignition of propellants offers a number of advantages as compared to existing ignition systems. The maturity and miniaturization of laser ignition devices have paved the way from laboratory experiments demonstrating the basic principle to component/subsystem validation at subscale conditions. In the frame of the proposed work the technology of laser ignition of liquid rocket engines is add ...
