The LAJP aims to develop, build, test and use rocket propulsion systems in composition of new launch vehicles and spacecraft, to promote intentionally new and innovative concepts covering impacts on our environment as much as possible. Involving external facilties and inviting other organizations to projects allows LAJP to achieve its objectives. The developments of the joint projects foresee participation of Ukrainian and foreign R&D institutions, specialized and interested universities and industries. A primary current focus of the Lab is an overall space transportation systems based on the original Slurry Rocket Motor (SluRM). It is being designed to bring last stages of LVs, make soft landing onto planets, carry passengers and crew in the sub-orbital flights with minimal overloads. The LAJP has demonstrated its ability to bring together the best skills across the whole of Ukraine, and has succeeded in becoming the prime developer for a series of strategically new propulsion programmes. These include the international electric propulsion activities and a family of the EU supported Slurry Rocket Motors based on the range of successful tests with innovative slurry-type propellant.
