 WHAT IS HYSHOT

It is a research project to demonstrate the possibility of

supersonic combustion under flight conditions using two
scramjet engines.
HYSHOT LAUNCH PATTERN
 HYSHOT DEVELOPEMENT
 This correlation is being developed with a scramjet
configuration that retains the essential components for
supersonic combustion.

 Pressure measurements are the primary means for

obtaining the correlation.

 The approach being taken by The University of

Queensland is new and has opened a new era in flight
testing hypersonic air-breathing engines.
HISTORY OF HYSHOT

 HyShot I was launched on 30 October 2001

 HyShot II was launched on 30 July 2002

 HyShot III was launched on 25 March 2006

 HyShot IV was launched on 30 March 2006

 HyCAUSE was launched on 15 June 2007

 OPERATIONS
 The carrier rocket for the HyShot experiments was composed of
a Terrier first stage (6 second burn, 4000 km/h) and
an Orion second stage (26 second burn, 8600 km/h, 56 km
altitude).
 The empty Orion motor remains attached to the payload to an
apogee of approximately 330 km.
 A fairing over the payload was then jettisoned.
 As the spent motor and its attached payload falls back to Earth,
they gather speed.
 The trajectory is designed so that between 35 km and 23 km, they
are traveling at Mach 7.6
 The package then coasted to an altitude of around
300 km.

 Cold gas nitrogen attitude control thrusters were used

to re-orient the payload for atmospheric reentry.

 The experiments each lasted for 6-10 seconds as the

payload descended between approximately 35 and 23
kilometers altitude.

 Gaseous Hydrogen is used as the fuel.

 OVERVIEW

 The project has involved the successful launch of engine

designed by The University of Queensland.
 Combustion unit was launched on the nose of a Terrier-
Orion Mk70 sounding rocket on a
high ballistic trajectory, reaching altitudes of
approximately 330 km.
 and the combustion unit ignited for a period of 6–10
seconds while falling between 35 km and 23 km at
around Mach 7.6
