In-Situ Optical Measurements of Solid and Hybrid-Propellant Combustion Plumes

A method for in-situ optical measurements of solid and hybrid propellant rocket plumes is developed, and results from proof of concept tests are presented. The developed method inserts fiber-optic cables acting as radiation conduits into the solid-fuel combustion port, allowing optical signals to be...
