Heavy Ion Propulsion in the Megadalton Range (2007)
Mora, Juan F. De La, Sanchez, Manual M., Lozano, Paulo, Yoshida, Y., Saito, G, Wilkes, John, ...
The original project goal was to develop sources of heavy ions for space propulsion based on Taylor cones of heated ionic liquids(ILs). Many commercially available heated ILs have been discovered...
Jets and Sprays Emitted from Colloid Thrusters-Experiments and Modeling (1998)
Lozano, Paulo, Martinez-Sanchez, Manuel
The spreading angle of an electrospray of Formamide with 5-10% LiCl by mass has been measured to be 18 inches in vacuum, for conditions close to minimum stable flow. A single-stage einzel lens was...
The Use of Vibration Data for Liquid Rocket Health Monitoring (1998)
Paulo Lozano, Nhut Ho, Manuel Martinez-sanchez, Rami Mangoubi
An approach is presented to the construction of a liquid rocket Health Monitoring (HM) system capable of using both, vibratory and thermodynamic data. Preliminary results are obtained in the area of...
