  • Throttleable propulsion launch escape systems and devices
    Patent number: 10815935
    Abstract: The present invention relates to throttleable propulsion launch escape systems and devices. In one embodiment, the system includes a tower and at least one throttleable motor secured to the tower. The throttleable motor is able to throttle to a reduced power setting during flight. In another embodiment, the system includes at least one throttleable motor and a space vehicle unit that includes a containing structure. In a further embodiment, the throttleable motor may be secured about a boost escape system of a space vehicle unit. In an additional embodiment, the present invention is a three-dimensional nozzle.

  • CRYOGENICALLY COMPATIBLE ROCKET PROPELLANT
    Publication number: 20190270685
    Abstract: Propellants for rockets, space transportation vehicles, launch vehicles and systems, crew escape vehicles and systems, launch escape towers, and space vehicle systems are disclosed. Some embodiments provide a rocket propellant comprising a mixture of a small chain alkane from 1 to 4 carbons and a small chain alkene from 3 to 4 carbons. The mixture of the small chain alkane and small chain alkene is in a proportion that lowers the melting of the mixture below the melting point of both the small chain alkane and small chain alkene.
