Hastings' Chariots Liquid Rocket Propulsion

With current and near future technology, liquid propulsion has several mission
critical advantages over solid and hybrid propulsion.

1. Specific impulse, Isp. Isp as high as a 455.
2. Low cost fuel and oxidizer. As low as $0.25 per pound.
3. Throttling and pulsing.

Wether you need the highest performance for your single mission or the best cost
effectiveness for a reusable application, liquid propulsion technology has a proven
track record which may be your best solution. Examples of projects which are
well suited for liquid rocket propulsion are:
- launch vehicles,
- sounding rockets,
- positioning thrusters,
- "space tourism" rockets,
- lunar or mars "hoppers,"
- umanned aerial vehicles (UAV),
- microsatellites and nanosatellites,
- scattering of remote sensors (terrestrial, lunar or Mars), and
- many more.

Hastings' Chariots' 1000 pound thrust liquid
rocket engine is shown on the left being
tested on Hastings' Chariots rocket engine
test stand. The engine is designed to burn
kerosene, natural gas, biodiesel or
hydrogen. Oxygen, hydrogen peroxide or
nitrous oxide can be used as the oxidizers.

The Quick Access Rocket Exhaust
(QARE) is shown on the right testing a
coupon to simulate a rocket engine
combustion chamber environment for
materials testing. The QARE rig (shown
below) was engineered and
manufactured by Hastings' Chariots for
NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC). The
system is engineered for hydrogen and
oxygen. Photos courtesy NASA GRC.
