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.
