AGH Space Systems on PROGRESJA INNOVATION DAY

PROGRESJA S.A. is the strategic sponsor of the rocket development project “Turbulence” and provides financial and technical support for the AGH University of Science and Technology Space Systems team. Mutual efforts resulted in many concepts in areas such as green propellants, thrusters and spacecraft propulsion, hybrid propulsion and small rocket engines with innovative technologies like 3D printed combustion chambers or electrically powered feed system pumps. Amongst the most recent research subjects is the use of nitrous oxide as a storable, catalytically decomposable propellant in spacecraft propulsion in place of hydrazine.
