Propulsion Systems
Engineering the heart of UTM Rocketry. We design, simulate, and manufacture high-performance solid rocket motors, focusing on propellant grain geometry, nozzle optimization, and combustion stability to achieve maximum thrust and reliability.
Core Domains
Motor Design
Simulating internal ballistics and optimizing nozzle expansion to maximize specific impulse.
Propellant Chemistry
Developing and testing high-performance solid propellant formulations for consistent burn rates.
Static Testing
Conducting rigorous static fire tests to validate motor performance and structural integrity before launch.
