NASA, Industry Test Additively Manufactured Rocket Engine Injector
Cleveland OH (SPX) Jul 15, 2013
NASA and Aerojet Rocketdyne of West Palm Beach, Fla., recently finished testing a rocket engine injector made through additive manufacturing, or 3-D printing. This space technology demonstration may lead to more efficient manufacturing of rocket engines, saving American companies time and money. NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland conducted the successful tests for Aerojet Rocketdyne through a non-reimbursable Space Act Agreement. A series of firings of a liquid oxygen and gaseous hydr ... read more
