PAPC - Chemical and Liquid Propulsion
Interested in joining the community ? Before getting involved, I must choose my contribution : simple visitor, occasional participant in events, expert deeply concerned by the field (member) :
which status to choose
OR
Just stay informed about the next COMET’s event
The COMET( "COMmunities of 'ExperTs") are like “open circles of knowledge”.
For this reason, it is an excellent means of communication and way of distributing information, a showcase for you to present your developments without any major restrictions.
The COMET Chemical and Liquid Propulsion encompasses these major fields (excluding launcher) :
- Passivation of satellite propulsion systems: equipment, development, protocols.
- New chemical propellants (green propellants) and, more widely, energetic materials, including pyrotechnical applications.
- Long term stability of energetic materials: standards, methods, use.
- New high-performance materials and associated processes (additive manufacturing, CVD, etc.)
There are many synergies with PAPE COMET (Electric propulsion) et PAAE COMET (Aerothermodynamics), mainly regardy following activities :
- De-orbiting and controlled re-entry
- Passivation of fluid reservoirs (explosion of reservoir if not passivated).
- Behaviour of materials at high temperatures.
- Particular issues linked to certain components (titanium reservoir).
- Shared physics (e.g.: plasma in electric propulsion and aerothermodynamics)
