Preliminary Report for: • Two-Stage • Ground launch • 1st Stage Hybrid and Steel • 2nd Stage Hybrid and Varying Material • Various Delta V (9,000 m/s to 18,000 m/s) • All Payloads AAE 450 Spring 2008 Propulsion
Future Work • Research engines for each propellant type • cost/thrust • cost/kg • weight • Continue making more pots with the cost modifiers. AAE 450 Spring 2008
