Livrables

Documents, reports (24)

Definition and design of a laboratory set-up for an electrical pump-feeding system
Description of the 1D modelling code for HRE complete system
Validated regression rate measurement technique for HRE
Database for retro engines with reverse-flow interactions
First Year Report (SOTA and Methodology)

D6.1 is a first year report according to the French model, including a CV of the ESR, a detailed presentation of the subject including the SOTA (bibliography), a description of the methodology to be implemented to tackle the IRP, a presentation of first obtained results (if applicable). Going beyond the current standard, the documents of all ESRs will be combined to one collective report for the whole project, representing the overall SOTA of launcher research. Furthermore, the report will be reviewed by the supervisory teams to ensure that the ESRs are on track.
