Vortex cooled thermoplastic chamber thruster for potential application to polymer based 3D printed space propulsion systems

Abstract Abundant carbon dioxide (CO2) on Mars could serve as a valuable resource for in-situ resource utilization, with its potential conversion into plastics for space manufacturing. This study investigates the feasibility of a vortex-cooled thermoplastic combustion chamber thruster, designed to s...
