SOLID ROCKET MOTORS (SRM)

For cases and nozzles of solid propellant rocket motor (SRM) the new composite and carbon-carbon materials are applied. A new scheme of thrust vector control is created.

Software and the methodologies are developed, it permits a decrease of the amount of SRMs required for finishing development from 100 pieces to 7-10 pieces at the present time.

KeRC develops small-sized SRM for booster units of space vehicles (SV), allowing it to reduce the mass and to increase the duration of SV stay in space.

The 8 kN SRM for spacecraft booster unit: it was put through firing; solid-propellant charge mass is 40 kg. Case of "lentil" - type is manufactured from carbon-phenolic. The nozzle unit with expandable nozzle extension to area expansion ratio of 10 is produced from carbon-carbon composite material.

At participation of Keldysh Research Center "Katyusha", "Burya", "Topol", the sea-, railroad-, silo-based, ballistic missiles, "Iskander", SRM for "Energiya-Buran"are created.
