The scope of this symposium encompasses new developments in engines and propellants modelling and testing with the underlying themes.

Launch Vehicle Propulsion

• Solid Propulsion: new ingredients, operation stability thermal and ablation modelling
• Liquid propulsion: reusability, methane vs kerosene, uncooled combustion chamber/nozzle (expendable engine), aerospike/E-D nozzle, PDRE, injection, mixing and combustion of gels
• Hybrid propulsion: large-scale applications, stability
• Fly-back booster propulsion.

• On-board power and propulsion
• Micro-thrust propulsion
• High-power electric propulsion
• Nuclear electric propulsion for deep space exploration
• Propellantless propulsion

• Alternative fuels, Supersonic/hypersonic aircraft propulsion, Scramjet/Muti mode ramjet
• Modified cycles (MPPC), Combined cycles (TBCC, RBCC, ATR), LACE
