““In light of the MH 370 tragedy in the spring of 2014, an interest has arisen to investigate the feasibility of a rapid response launcher system for a constellation of simple, lightweight search satellites with a minimum orbital lifetime of 6 months.”

Three Stage DesignPros
◇ Reasonable ISP will meet our needs
◇ Better finert values
Cons◇ More complicated due
to more staging◇ Larger inert mass

Choosing H202 and HTPB allowed us to have a reasonable ISP and good finert that will not be technologically challenging
F2/H2 and O2/H2 had a large ISP, but too toxic.

An initial mass of about 5500 kg, ISP of 285s and finert of 0.28 was chosen.
The ISP of 285 allowed us to account for pressure losses in our system with the chosen propellant.

Helium pressurizes the propellant tanks to force the fuel and oxidizer tanks to the combustion chamberPros:◇ Simple, due to less
components◇ Easy to maintain
Cons:◇ Extra weight added
because of the pressurant tanks

Pros:◇ Simple◇ Capable of stopping
and restarting the engine, as long there is ablative material left
Cons:◇ Increase of weight◇ Limited life in the
engine (usually less than 2000 seconds)
Typical ablative materials: Silica, Quartz, or Carbon Cloth and resin composites

Titanium has the best mechanical properties, but is difficult to work with and extremely expensive.
Steel is cheap and easy to work with, but does not have the properties required for our design.
Composites meet the property requirements and are lightweight. Our rocket cost increases, within reason.
Material Trade offsDue to the addition of the pressurant tanks, composite materials were chosen to minimize the mass and therefore increase the ΔVThis increased the cost of our rocket.
