Rapid Analysis and Manufacturing Propulsion Technology (RAMPT)

Completed NASA Game Changing Development project led by Marshall Space Flight Center that matured multi-alloy additive manufacturing for large regeneratively cooled liquid-rocket components. RAMPT advanced composite overwraps, large-scale blown-powder directed-energy deposition, bimetallic manifold joints, and integrated design-analysis tools, manufacturing 2,000- to 40,000-lbf chambers and accumulating 73 hot-fire starts over 2,512 seconds for lander, booster, upper-stage, and space-nuclear propulsion.
