Public award description
TO-DATE, THE REALIZATION OF SMALL-SCALE, HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID BIPROPELLANT ROCKET ENGINES FOR LUNAR AND OTHER PLANETARY ASCENT VEHICLES HAS LARGELY BEEN LIMITED BY THE INABILITY TO OPERATE AT HIGH CHAMBER PRESSURES IN A REGENERATIVELY-COOLED ENVIRONMENT USING ON-BOARD PUMPS FOR PRESSURIZATION OF THE PROPELLANTS. VENTIONS SEEKS TO FULFILL THIS CRITICAL NEED BY USING A NOVEL FABRICATION SCHEME TO REALIZE SMALL-SCALE THRUSTERS AND TURBOPUMPS, AND PROPOSES TO EXTEND ITS PREVIOUSLY-DEMONSTRATED TECHNOLOGIES (UNDER DARPA AND NASA SPONSORED EFFORTS) TO DEVELOP A MICRO-SCALE TURBOPUMP FOR CRYOGENIC PROPELLANTS IN A LUNAR ASCENT VEHICLE.
