Abstract: A motor assembly is provided for use with projectiles, such as munitions, having relatively low length to diameter ratios. The motor assembly has an aerospike nozzle and a casing disposed about the aerospike nozzle, where interior aerospike volume contains propellant and where walls of both the cowl of the casing and of the aerospike nozzle jointly define a combustion chamber.

Abstract: An open-loop thermal control system and method for components that generate heat includes a reservoir for containing a pressurized working fluid, a first heat exchanger in thermal communication with the working fluid, a Joule-Thomson expansion valve in fluid communication with the reservoir, and a second heat exchanger in fluid communication with the valve. The first heat exchanger is configured to transfer heat from the components to the fluid in the reservoir. The valve is configured to expand the working fluid into a two-phase fluid having a primary use of cooling. The second heat exchanger is configured to receive heat from the components and receive the two-phase fluid. The second heat exchanger provides a single-phase working fluid for at least one secondary use before the working fluid is expelled from the thermal control system.
