PREWAVES-Patterns: Metal-Combustion  Experiments on TEXUS 56/57 Sounding Rockets towards Zero-Carbon Propulsion  & Power Systems for Earth and Space — PI: Dr. Jeffrey Bergthorson. With  a growing demand for greener and cost-effective fuel alternatives for space  missions, metal fuel presents itself as a sustainable fuel option by producing  clean energy without greenhouse-gas emissions on Earth. The PREWAVES-Patterns project aims to develop  and test new space metal fuel instruments, and validate those instruments in  low-gravity parabolic flights. This project will ensure  that the Canadian team can take part in the sounding rocket launch during the  TEXUS 56/57 missions, as well as support the development of metal fuels as a  zero-carbon energy solution consistent with a future low-carbon society.
