The SIA ASPC hybrid rocket consists of a liquid nitrous oxide/paraffin-based fuel capable to produce 200 N thrust for research activities. the rocket is equipped with:
- C4H10 / N2O pilot flame ignitor by a spark
- pyrotechnic system based
- NiCr-Ni based K Thermocouple for Temperature Sensors: in the pre-combustion and the post-combustion chamber.
- Three pressure sensors located respectively upstream the fuel injection, in the pre-combustion and in the post-combustion chamber
- A digital flux meter sensor to measure the N2O mass flow rate
- Arduino system
- Desktop PC
- 1 relief valve in the pre-combustion chamber that opens above 30 atm
- 5 check valves
