Title | Kismet Hybrid Engine |
Description | The Kismet hybrid engine uses N2O as the oxidizer and HTPB as the fuel. The original iteration of this engine was designed between 2017 and 2018, and first flew on the team’s UXO rocket at the 2018 SAC. The current iteration of Kismet is the third in the series. Changes in this iteration include new SRAD pneumatically-actuated oxidizer vent and injector valves, a nitrous oxide fill-sensing system, and a 3D-printed nozzle. These changes were motivated by a desire to increase the apogee of the rocket, as well as the reliability of pre-launch operations. The key design parameters for the current engine design are given below: |
