Final Report: (1) Chemical Laser Fuels, (2) Reactions Between Active Calcium and Selected Gases.

摘要

The primary objective of the work performed by the Propulsion Directorate, Technology Laboratory, was to avoid the storage and handling hazards associated with high pressure or liquid hydrogen by developing an all-solid propellant composition which, upon ignition, can supply the hydrogen gas for a chemical laser. This solid propellant gas generator will provide a completely storable hydrogen gas source that combines instant readiness with excellent handling behavior and compact storage.
