METHOD FOR MANAGING THE THRUST OF A ROCKET ENGINE, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM FOR IMPLEMENTING SAID METHOD, CONTROL DEVICE FOR A ROCKET ENGINE, AND ROCKET ENGINE COMPRISING SAID CONTROL DEVICE

Disclosed is a method for managing the thrust of a rocket engine (100) by which an initial thrust setpoint (PGCc ini) is computed. Taking into account at least one limitation of the electrical power supply (104), a filtered thrust setpoint (PGCc f) is then computed for the engine (100) by performing...

More Information
Summary:Disclosed is a method for managing the thrust of a rocket engine (100) by which an initial thrust setpoint (PGCc ini) is computed. Taking into account at least one limitation of the electrical power supply (104), a filtered thrust setpoint (PGCc f) is then computed for the engine (100) by performing at least one of two sets of operations (S31, S32, S33; S35, S36, S37, S38). These two sets of operations comprise operations intended as a safeguard for any malfunction of the rocket engine that could occur due to a lack of sufficient available electrical power. Also disclosed is a computer program and recording medium for implementing said method, a control device for implementing said method, and a rocket engine comprising such a control device.
