Space & Missiles

Edotek has been involved in a wide range of work related to rocket propulsion systems used on spacecraft and missiles. This includes work on the liquid propellants;

  • nitrogen tetroxide (MON)
  • hydrazine (decomposition, compatibility with epdm rubbers e.g. AF-E-332) and monomethylhydrazine (MMH)
  • hydrogen peroxide (production, decomposition)
  • IRFNA (production, analysis, corrosion of CRES and Al alloys)
  • Gelled IRFNA
  • DMAZ (ignition delay)
  • Ammonium dinitramide (ADN)
  • Studies of “Green propellants” and “Next Generation propellants”

Work has been carried out on liquid mono-propellant, bi-propellant and hybrid systems. These propulsion systems have been used on such platforms as Agena, AQM-37, Chevaline, Eurostar, Lance, Skynet
