The propulsion research lab at Utah State University has developed a minimally-intrusive optical sensing system for high-temperature/high-velocity gas-generator exhaust plumes. For this application glass fiber-optic cables, acting as radiation condui

The potential for throttle control of hybrid rocket systems has long been known as a potential advantage for a variety of applications. Because only a single flow path is controlled, theoretically, hybrids should be significantly easier to throttle t

A method for in-situ optical measurements of solid and hybrid propellant rocket plumes is developed, and results from proof of concept tests are presented. The developed method inserts fiber-optic cables acting as radiation conduits into the solid-fu
