Strategic Objectives
• Understand the mechanics of Divert and Attitude Control Systems (DACS).
• Explore the high-energy chemistry of hypergolic propellants.
• Analyze the structural demands of micro-second thruster valve actuation.
• Master the physical constraints of kinetic energy interceptors.
The Core Challenge
In the vacuum of space and the high-pressure terminal phase of flight, traditional control surfaces fail, leaving engineers to solve the impossible problem of hyper-velocity maneuverability.
