Integration validation of key components for small sounding rockets

Determining the time-resolved mass flow rates of hybrid rocket fuels using laser absorption spectroscopy

“…A hybrid rocket is one in which the propulsion system comprises a combination of solid fuel and liquid oxidizer [1]. Owing to their unique structural characteristics, hybrid rockets possess inherent safety and operational features that make them attractive choices for a broad range of applications [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], including their application as sounding rockets [2][3][4][5][6], upper stage propulsion units [7][8][9] and launch vehicles [10].…”
