Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, Volume 68, Issue 7, pp. 188-1990007-084Xhttps://www.jbis.org.uk/paper/2015.68.188https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/15274The paper develops a subject of a combustible inertial (self-feeding) launch vehicle for nano and pico satellites. A part of the paper considers a flight of the rocket using ballistic, aerodynamic and thermal calculations. Another part describes experimental investigations of a laboratory-scale model of the rocket engine. Plans for future work and prospects of the self-feeding technology combined with pulse engine mode for microlaunchers and small satellite micro propulsion concludes the paper.enAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Combustible inertial LVSelf-feeding rocket propulsionArticle
