Hydrostatic Pressure Testing of a Square-Cross Section Stainless Steel Propellant Tank Manufactured Using Selective Laser Sintering
… pressure test (HPT) of a metal SLS manufactured propellant tank, constructed for a nano-satellite of the cubesat class. Strain measurements from twelve strain gage locations on the propellant tank were recorded. A finite element analysis (FEA) model, which assumes isotropic material properties, …

Mission and System Design for In-Situ Resource Utilization in the Outer Solar System using Nuclear Propulsion Technologies
The parameter space of a theoretical in-situ propellant acquisition system is examined for a sample return mission from trans-Neptunian destinations (>40au) using two theoretical spacecraft designs, which compare nuclear propulsion systems for impulsive and continuous thrust. Each available …

Modeling and Parameter Estimation of Spacecraft Lateral Fuel Slosh
… is made more difficult by the introduction of propellant management devices such as elastomeric diaphragms. The experimental set-up in this research incorporates a diaphragm in a simulated spacecraft fuel tank subjected to lateral slosh behavior. This research focuses on the parameter …

A systems study of very small launch vehicles
… carried out, examining the impact of varying propellant mass fraction, stack fraction, launch conditions (velocity and altitude), and vacuum specific impulse. All vehicles are based on a version of the MIT microrocket engine, a micro-scale rocket engine fabricated in silicon, and weighing 2 g. …

Development and Prototype Validation of an Additive Manufactured Cubesat Propulsion Tank
… of this study is to determine if a cubesat propellant tank using the additive manufacturing technology of direct metal laser sintering meets the requirements, and material properties of a conventionally manufactured tank. Additionally, to see if additive manufactured parts are a viable …
