TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Multi-Burn Solid Rocket

This propulsion system enables multiple independently controllable impulses from a single solid rocket while maintaining the high thrust, safety, simplicity, reliability, scalability, and storability of traditional solid rockets. Key Advantages: Allows for complex flight maneuvers that require precise thrust modulation Combustion can be halted cleanly and then reinitiated Can place space vehicles in precise orbits for optimal performance Problems Solved: Ignition system has been changed from one-time use to reusable Employs resettable mechanism to rapidly extinguish a burn Can be stored fully fueled for long periods of time Market Applications: Aerospace (i.e., Reusable Launch Vehicles) Defense and Military Commercial Satellites Space Tourism US Patent No. 11,859,579-B1 LA-UR-25-26225 LANL Tech Partnerships: Unlock the Innovative Potential Los Alamos National Laboratory offers a wide range of cutting-edge technologies and capabilities that may provide your company with a competitive edge in the market and unlock the innovative potential that can enhance, refine, and revolutionize your products.
