Propulsion Research & Development

Our engineers are applying recent advances in rocket fuel science, advanced micromachining and 3D metal printing for potential propulsion solutions for emerging, high-growth sectors of the space launch market. These include:
  • In-space propulsion
  • Upper stage propulsion
  • Microsatellite launch
  • Propulsion performance analysis, including the use of FEA and CFD
