Computational Fluid Dynamics
WELCOME
Space Energetics is a small space and aerothermal propulsion company headquartered in Pasadena, CA. We specialize in compressible gasodynamics and applications - primarily conventional rocket engines as well as research and development of plasma and thermal systems. The goal is to (in the coming decade) mature key bottleneck propulsion and power technologies to provide the backbone for a sustainable advanced/ambitious spaceflight architecture - to enable exploration and resource utilization beyond low Earth orbit.
"Success in space demands perfection. Many of the brilliant achievements made in this vast, austere environment seem almost miraculous. Behind each apparent miracle, however, stands the flawless performance of numerous highly complex systems. All are important. The failure of only one portion of a launch vehicle or spacecraft may cause failure of an entire mission. But the first to feel this awesome imperative for perfection are the propulsion systems, especially the engines. Unless they operate flawlessly first, none of the other systems will get a chance to perform in space ... As man ventures deeper into space to explore the planets, the search for perfection in the design of propulsion systems will continue..." - Wernher von Braun (foreword NASA SP-125)
