Nammo Space has developed the Igniter for the common Vega-C and Ariane 6 solid rocket motor.  The hardware is manufactured from Carbon fiber composite and Aluminium, and is available in quantities of 3 per month.  The ignition command is done using an initiator (IFOC).  The Igniter consist of a pyrotechnical igniter based on Boron/Potassium Nitrate pellets, and a main igniter with solid propellant.

The carbon fiber reinforced Main Case is able to withstand the thermal loads inside the motor, and keep its shape after the motor functioning phase.  The igniter nozzle holes are an integrated part of the carbon fiber composite structure.

Performance Characteristics

  • Igniter Type Two step, solid propellant based
  • Response Time Motor size dependent
    Please contact Nammo for details
  • Pressure < 15 MPa
  • Envelope Diameter 1,000 mm, and length 1,000 mm
  • Mass < 200 kg
  • Delivery Condition Complete, ready for integration
