A thrust vector control (TVC) nozzle for use on the STAR 48 rocket motor (STAR 48V) has been developed for use on the COMET program aboard the Conestoga launch vehicle. The first stages of qualification testing have been completed. The first STAR 48V has been successfully static-tested. The flexseal TVC nozzle design is based upon the qualified and flight-proven fixed nozzle design used on spin-stabilized spacecraft. The flexseal design and fabrication approach benefit from flight-proven and man-rated Thiokol Corporation flexseal designs. The thrust vector control system provides vectoring capability to 4 deg for use on nonspinning spacecraft. Electromechanical actuators coupled with a closed-loop controller provide thrust vector positioning and spacecraft attitude control.
