82 ME Rocket Motor

The 82 ME Rocket Motor refers to the propulsion unit used in certain 82 mm diameter rocket systems historically developed in Russia and used with OG-82 and PG-82 series rockets. These rockets were commonly deployed with shoulder-fired or light vehicle-mounted launcher systems and were designed to provide reliable propulsion for short-range tactical applications.

Key Details:

Category: Solid Rocket Propulsion Unit

Caliber:
82 mm Rocket Motor: Designed for rockets of approximately 82 mm diameter used in portable or mounted launcher systems.

Description:
Propellant Composition: The motor typically uses a double-base solid propellant formulation. Double-base propellants generally consist of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin, which together form a high-energy propellant capable of producing rapid thrust during ignition.

Structure: The motor contains multiple double-base propellant grains with a combined propellant weight of approximately 375 grams. It also includes ignition components designed to initiate the booster stage followed by the main propulsion phase.

Ignition System: The motor utilizes a percussion-ignited gunpowder charge located in the tail section to initiate the rocket motor, which then ignites the main propellant grains to generate thrust.

Flight Stability: Rockets using this motor are typically designed with fin and spin stabilization to maintain stable flight after launch.

Common Uses:

• Rocket Propulsion: Serves as the propulsion unit for 82 mm caliber rocket-propelled projectiles.
• Infantry Support Systems: Used in portable or mounted launcher systems designed for direct-fire roles.
• Tactical Field Applications: Provides propulsion for rockets used in battlefield support operations.

Operational Features:
Solid double-base propellant design, percussion-based ignition, compact propulsion unit, and efficient thrust generation capable of accelerating rockets to high velocities during launch.
