Abstract

In-space flight demonstration of a rotating detonation engine system using liquid nitrous oxygen and liquid ethanol as the propellant (DES-2) is planned in FY2024 by a collaborative research group of Nagoya University, Shizuoka University, Keio University, the Muroran Institute of Technology, and Institute of Space and Astronautical Science at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (ISAS/JAXA). In this manuscript, a ground combustion test of the bread board model (BBM) of the DES-2, which has been conducted in May 2023, is briefly described. In the testing, the DES-2 BBM was operated in stand-alone mode and achieved detonation combustion as planned.
