Research abstract
Future solid propulsion systems will require higher propellant burn temperatures to achieve improvements in impulse and thrust. We propose to continue development of our novel seal technology that will enable significant increases in temperature at the seal location. In Phase I, we proved the feasibility of our approach through analysis, prototyping, and proof‑of‑concept demonstrations. In Phase II, we will design and assemble prototype seal assemblies and measure their performance during hot fire test conditions that simulate operation in a solid rocket motor environment.
