A test batch of state-of-the-art Atsetam rocket fuel was generated in Russia

A test batch of state-of-the-art high-efficient Atsetam rocket fuel was generated in Russia by the specialists of NPO Energomash and Russian Scientific Center Applied Chemistry using special test installation. AEX.ru

«The obtained results confirmed the previous theoretical research and demonstrated the efficiency of this new technology intended for generating the advanced fuel. The work on development and certification of advanced Atsetam rocket fuel is being carried out in an initiative manner on account of own funds of NPO Energomash and in the network of grant support of Skolkovo Innovation Center», - Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) noted.

The physicochemical properties of Atsetam, endurance of structural materials and parameters of fire and explosion safety will be analyzed in the network of next stages of work in accordance with industry-specific procedures for certifications of rocket fuels.

«It is planned to develop a technology for generating production batches of Atsetam in 2013-2014. It is also planned to develop a test rig and carry out firing tests of oxygen-atsetam liquid-propellant engine prototype», - Roscosmos added.
