Mission Systems RCS / Main Engine Ignition Components
The Mission Systems TRL 7 Ignition Assemblies for Aerospace
Mission Ignition Systems proposal system tested, qualified and validated TRL 7 system for LOX / Liquid Methane and Liquid Propane use in repeatable RCS and Main Engine rocket ignition systems.
System evolved from concept to working prototype, and is continually being improved on to acheive TLR9 status with partners.
First generation components delivered to NASA have exceeded expectations and results from several other design concepts such as laser, CDI, peizu electric, microwave and chemical for repeatable combustion in harsh environments.
Mission Systems (formerly WeaponX Performance Products) is deeply involved in all aspects of ignition solutions worldwide and is adding to our extensive knowledgebase with compressed fuels and oxidizers using our electronic control systems.
The results of years of research and developemnt has evolved into Mission Systems compact, high performance, light weight ignition systems ideal for space craft use.
Mission Systems is involved in amasing an incredible amount of ignition data to add from over 25 years of operation and are actively working on data acquisition for our generation 4, and 5 electronics to deliver improved results in future iterations.
Testing and development alongside several aerospace agencies further re enforce understanding in extreme condition, and harsh environment operation, including -273 to +240 degree environments, in combination with 30 TOR environments, with already difficult to ignite fuel sources.
Our new NeXT coil lineups are poised to complete space readiness within the next two years for resale for complete aerospace use.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Production of TRL 7 components require weeks of development, support, and assembly by our dedicated engineers. As a result Mission Systems can only accomodate a small percentage of aerospace companies for design and testing purposes. Contact us for openings in development.
THE MISSION SYSTEMS ADVANTAGE
All NeXT components include engineering support
All NeXT coil purchases include application validation, and design time with one of our experts.
Hand assembled, NeXT components undergo the greatest care during the manufacturing process to deliver precise operation.
NeXT components use the latest MIL spec electronic components only for improved reliability, and performance
NeXT components use NASA approved materials and are designed as small form factor products to reducing size and weight. NeXT components are approximately 25% smaller than any competitor product on the market.
