The main goal of the project is to demonstrate the control of the thrust during the operation of a green liquid rocket engine utilizing highly-concentrated hydrogen peroxide as the oxidizer. Thrust control (throttling) technology could be used in future space exploration by lunar or planetary descent vehicles. Such throttleable engine could also be implemented on reusability demonstration platforms, working towards the landing of launcher stages or even launch vehicle kick-stages to enable more flexible missions.
