Zusammenfassung:A rocket propulsion chamber and a method of fabricating such a propulsion chamber are provided. The propulsion chamber includes a combustion chamber, a wall of the combustion chamber having a cooling circuit wherein a first propellant flows. A thermostructural composite material shell is placed against the outside of the combustion chamber and including a diverging nozzle extending beyond the bottom end of the combustion chamber, wherein a fraction of the thermostructural composite material shell is covered in a radially strong outer reinforcing shell for containing deformation of the combustion chamber and thermostructural composite material shell, the thermostructural composite material shell and the outer reinforcing shell forming a unitary assembly.
