Titus was derived from the initial two stages of the Bérénice test vehicle. [2] [4]The first stage, weighing 1935 kg, used a SEPR-739-2 Stromboli solid rocket motor with 1245 kg of Plastolane propellant with a 20-second burn time.
Las Palmas (also mentioned as Lapachito and Chaco) [1] is a rocket launch site in Argentina at used on November 12, 1966, [2] for the launch of two Titus rockets [3] for observing a solar eclipse
The RBCC, or rocket-based combined cycle propulsion system, was one of the two types of propulsion systems that may have been tested in the Boeing X-43 experimental aircraft. The RBCC, or strutjet as it is sometimes called, is a combination propulsion system that consists of a ramjet , scramjet , and ducted rocket , where all three systems use ...

Bérénice was 13.25 m (43.5 ft) long, possessed a diameter of 0.56 m (1.8 ft) and weighed 3,340 kg (7,360 lb) at launch. The takeoff thrust of Bérénice, which could carry a payload of 3,340 kg (7,360 lb) to a height of 1,000 km (620 mi), amounted to 170 kN (38,000 lbf).

Thermal barrier coating (colored white) on a turbine guide vane in a V2500 turbofan engine. Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are advanced materials systems usually applied to metallic surfaces on parts operating at elevated temperatures, such as gas turbine combustors and turbines, and in automotive exhaust heat management.
A vernier thruster is a rocket engine used on a spacecraft or launch vehicle for fine adjustments to the attitude or velocity. Depending on the design of a craft's maneuvering and stability systems, it may simply be a smaller thruster complementing the main propulsion system , [ 1 ] or it may complement larger attitude control thrusters, [ 2 ...
