V.L. Salich

The paper introduces the scientific and technical groundwork obtained by the author and used as a basis for the development of an oxygen-kerosene rocket engine with a thrust of 25 N. This groundwork represents the results of research carried out on an experimental chamber developed by the author. The design of the chamber made it possible to study the effect of the configuration of the mixing element on its characteristics, the number of holes of oxygen supply to the internal cooling curtain, the length of the cylindrical section behind the curtain belt. The results of tests of various variants of the chamber and their analysis are presented. The results of tests of the developed engine, in which one of the camera variants is implemented, are given as well.

The article presents a review of the results of studies of laser ignition of a cryogenic mixture (gaseous hydrogen and liquid oxygen) in an experimental combustion chamber, carried out at the bench testing facility of KBKhA (Voronezh). A laser ignition module specially designed at the Keldysh Research Centre and with parameters optimized for use in the rocket engine launch system was used during the experiments. Fuel ignition by the laser system occurred directly in the experimental chamber without the use of an ignition device or pre-chamber. To implement this ignition method, inflammation of the fuel in the chamber was carried out by focusing the laser radiation into the mixture, with the initiation of a spark of optical breakdown in the selected area with conditions favorable for the start of combustion. The results of the experiments confirmed the efficiency of the laser module during both standalone and firing tests, including multiple launches of the propulsion unit operated on a cryogenic mixture (gaseous hydrogen and liquid oxygen).
