Research abstract
ASRC Federal Astronautics is pleased to present this proposal to demonstrate feasibility of a proportional thruster that is additively manufactured from a high temperature alloy and well-suited for use in a future Trident II D5 post boost control system upgrade. Our proportional valve design is based upon highly successful architectures originally developed by our Orbital ATK commercialization partner. The primary valve components that will be additively manufactured, will also incorporate an additively manufactured oxidation-prevention layer.
