Aestus
Aestus is a hypergolic liquid rocket engine used on an upper stage of Ariane 5 family rockets for the orbital insertion. It features unique design of 132 coaxial injection elements causing swirl mixing of the MMH propellants with Nitrogen tetroxide oxidizer. Engine allows for multiple re-ignitions.
Aestus II / RS-72
Aestus II (also known as RS-72) is a turbopump version of the Aestus currently under development in a collaboration between the Ottobrunn Space Propulsion Centre and Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne. It is designed for improved performance, thrust and reliability over its predecessor.
RS-72 Pathfinder version of the engine has completed 14 successful hot fire tests in White Sands Test Facility.
Operations
Fuel and oxidizer are stored in two aluminum alloy tanks, fuel tank is spherical while oxidizer tank is enlarged due to different volumes required from engine operations. Before engine is started it is purged with helium and fuel is pressurized. Then oxidizer valve is opened in a center of injector followed by fuel injectors arranged on a chamber wall. Hypergolic propellants spontaneously ignite on contact expanding to supersonic velocities and escaping through cooled nozzle extension.
