The goal of this proposal is to design, manufacture, and post-process additively manufactured (AM) injectors and chambers to explore design trades that yield better engine performances. These novel injector and chamber geometries will leverage the AM laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process.

The partnership envisioned will significantly add to NASA technology development goals for RDREs and rapidly advance a promising advanced propulsion system that could be utilized in future Moon to Mars flight vehicle architectures.
