A Word About Specific Impulse• Defined as “thrust/propellant used”

– English units: lbs thrust/(lbs prop/sec)=sec – Metric units: N thrust/(kg prop/sec)=m/sec

• Two ways to regard discrepancy - – “lbs” is not mass in English units - should be slugs – Isp = “thrust/weight flow rate of propellant”

• If the real intent of specific impulse is

Isp =T

mand T = mVe then Isp = Ve!!!

Reaction Control Systems• Thruster control of vehicle attitude and translation • “Bang-bang” control algorithms • Design goals:

– Minimize coupling (pure forces for translation; pure moments for rotation)except for pure entry vehicles

– Minimize duty cycle (use propellant as sparingly as possible)

– Meet requirements for maximum rotational and linear accelerations

Autogenous Pressurization• Use gaseous propellants to pressurize tanks with

liquid propellants • Heat exchanger to gasify and warm propellants,

then route back into ullage volume • Eliminates need for pressurized gases for ullage

and high-pressure storage bottles (e.g., Falcon 9 failures)

• Issue: start-up transient

Energy and Power - Not the Same!!!• Energy - the capacity of a physical system to do

work (J, N-m, kWhr) • Power - time rate of change of energy (W, N-m/

sec, J/sec) • We are interested in generating power; we store and

use energy at a given power level.

Batteries• Energy storage via chemical reactions • Primary batteries - use once and discard • Secondary batteries - rechargable • Critical parameters

– Energy density – Discharge rate – Allowable depth of discharge – Cycle life – Temperature limits

ULA IVF Concept• 750cc internal combustion (piston) engine

powered by LOX/LH2 boil-off • Engine powers generator to supply electrical

power (30V and 300V) to vehicle (also serves as a starter)

• Compressor/heat exchanger increases pressure of boil-off gases from propellant tank, and cools ICE

• Pressurized O2/H2 provides reaction control system through thruster/gimbal assembly

• Growth option: on-orbit refueling
