Microcosm LOx/Kerosene rocket engine. First stages. Hardware. Funded under AFRL SBIR Phase 1 contract of 2006. Ablative chamber, LOX/Jet A propellant engines designed for very low-cost, robust design margins.
In 2006 Microcosm began development of a new 356,000-newton engine under an AFRL SBIR Phase 1 contract. Both the 20,000-pound-force and 80,000 pound-force engines were follow-on developments to the successful 5,000-pound-force engines. All were ablative chamber, LOX/Jet A propellant engines designed for very low-cost, robust design margins, moderate chamber pressures, high reliability, and expendable applications.
Propellant Formulation: Lox/Jet A.
