Original Abstract

Presented paper informs about the FP7 project SPARTAN (SPAce exploration Research for Throttleable Advanced eNgine) that is mainly dedicated to design and develop high efficient and green propellant propulsion technology based on using hybrid fuel rocket engines. This technology is needed for further space exploration and precise landing on any planet surface in the solar system. This article pays particular attention to the SPARTAN Lander, which demonstrates developed technology capability in the Earth conditions. The article contains aerodynamic shape study, subscale model free fall testing and ballistic recovery system design and testing.
