Space Motor Nozzle Materials
Fiber Materials, Inc. is the principal supplier of three-dimensional carbon composite
materials that are used in the manufacture of nozzles for commercial launch vehicles
as well as apogee motor rocket nozzle throats for commercial satellites.
Rocket nozzles must withstand an extremely rapid temperature increase in a highly corrosive atmosphere while maintaining a high degree of integrity. In addition to exposure to severe thermal stresses, the nozzle material must perform predictably and uniformly to provide the required accuracy and distance to the rocket. FMI’s three-dimensional carbon composite parts satisfy the required conditions with performance and reliability that cannot be realized by other materials.
In addition to other systems, FMI® is the principal/selected supplier of material for the following programs:
