Each missile has a payload section and an engine section. In the path of the missile, there is a time when the mission of the engine section is over and after that the engine will not play an effective role and will be as extra weight and consequently reduced range or factor for easy detection of the warhead by enemy agents. In such a situation, after completing the engine mission, the mechanism of separating the steps and separating the head from the body is used. One of the separation methods is to use the thrust termination system method. In this paper, with the studies performed on the thrust termination system and the presentation of mathematical relations, the pressure drop and inverse thrust created in the chamber after opening the reverse thrust valves are predicted. Also, cold type separation and thrust termination system were used and the combustion chamber pressure drop is simulated. Then, the effect of important and influential factors on the thrust termination system has been investigated.

The main purpose is to introduce the performance system design and optimization method of aerospike nozzle for different aero-space conditions. For this purpose, some of the important parameters of the aerospike nozzle structure and cold flow condition tests in the nozzle optimization are studied. The methods of designing the Aerospike nozzle and its governing equations are described and the proposed design model is described and important factors are expressed in this type of nozzle. Therefore, the design of a complete nozzle is made by aerospike and is supported by an existing design sample. Then, in order to optimize the nozzle, three cuts of 20%, 40% and 60% of the nozzle end are analyzed. The standard for comparison and optimization in these three slices is the Mach number of the output current. The results of this comparison show that the most efficient aerospike nozzle is a 40% cut nozzle based on the flow charts and contours of this aerospace nozzle.

The aim of the present research is to obtain the ability to use the cryogenic propellant engines on a laboratory scale. In this regard, it is necessary to build some experimental motors and investigate the their performance parameters. The liquid oxygen as a common oxidizer and ethanol as a green fuel have been selected as propellant components. The engine is designed to produce 400 kgf force at the nominal condition. The pintle type injector has been chosen in which liquid oxygen and fuel are flowed in the axial and radial directions, respectively. The combustion chamber has been protected against overheating by applying the regenerative cooling. However, the laboratory feature of the engine design has provided the using of water instead the cooling propellant. All main components of the engine such as injector, igniter, and flow controllers, are examined by the cold tests. A comprehensive test facility is designed and set up for hot fire tests in which the performance of almost all parameters can be evaluated. Fifteen fire tests have been performed. Maximum obtained pressure and evaluated combustion efficiency were about 75% of design values.

* In this paper, a step-by-step laboratory procedure for performing a satellite's payload’s alignment measurement is presented. Four highly accurate theodolites are used along with two or more alignment corner cube to accurately extract the final attitude. Theodolites are arranged around the satellite in such a way that they have a clear direct view of the alignment cubes mounted on the payload and the satellite. Two theodolites should point to the payload’s alignment cube and the other two theodolites must point to the satellite’s alignment cube. Each theodolite must see at least one other theodolite, directly. Finally, by forming the coordinates systems of the payload and satellite in the theodolites coordinate system along with using the coordinate transfer matrices, the payload alignment correction matrix will be extracted in detail. The total method accuracy is within the order of few arcseconds..

Development in the aerospace industry is linked to the continuous pursuit of lightweight designs. Open-architecture composite structures are a new and novel use of composites for minimal-weight component design. It is reasonable to use efficient and advanced techniques such as radial braiding in the manufacturing of composite lattice tubular structures. In this article, an aerospace composite lattice tubular structure with a braided reinforcement system is studied. A method is developed to determine the parameters of the preform reinforcement. A new process has been created for the manufacture of lattice structures with a braided reinforcement system. A methodology has been developed for determining the technological parameters of radial braiding. A sample structure is manufactured and tested. Experimental studies of lattice structure samples were carried out in order to verify the methods for determining mechanical, structural, and technological parameters.

In this paper, Design, optimization, and implementation of a Transparent Pseudo-Noise satellite Ranging relay are presented. CCSDS and DSN standards were studied for requirements of on board hardware for LEO satellites and ground station. To optimize the performance of the relay, a ground station for a two-way ranging system was modeled in MATLAB according to the DSN standard architecture. The effects of non-ideal hardware for the Implementation of an on-board relay were simulated. The simulation results confirmed that the designed transparent relay hardware satisfies the requirements of CCSDS and DSN ranging standards system and has no detrimental effect on it. Finally, the implemented relay was tested with a Transceiver similar to the ranging Transceiver was confirmed for operation.
