Karp, Ashley; Nakazono, Barry; Shotwell, Robert; Benito, Joel; Vaughan, David, 2017, "Technology Development Plan and Preliminary Results for a Low Temperature Hybrid Mars Ascent Vehicle Concept", https://hdl.handle.net/2014/46120, AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum and Exposition, Atlanta, Georgia, July 10-12, 2017, JPL Open Repository
A hybrid propulsion system is being considered for a potential Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV) based on its low temperature capability, ability to restart and high performance. The hybrid’s ability to survive in low and variable temperatures reduces power requirements and therefore sys... |
