Project Background Questions¶

BQ1. Why are we making this?¶

BA1. To create an educational project which combines both propulsion design and testing. In combination with the Shepard Test Stand technology yields a full turnkey package.

BQ2. Who is this for?¶

BA2. Undergraduate aerospace and high level high school students and Mach30 Volunteers.

BQ3. How will this be used?¶

BA3. Demonstrate fundamentals of propulsion systems design and testing of a cold gas thruster to include thrust, specific impulse, expansion ratio, chamber pressure, throat area, and controls.

BQ4. Who's going to build this?¶

BA4. Unit will be able to be built with commonly available components and 3D printed parts.
