C3Or4D: Special Session: Orbital Flight Demonstrations of Cryogenic Fluid Management
- Sean Kenny (NASA Marshall Space Flight Center)
- Wesley Johnson (NASA Glenn Research Center)
United Launch Alliance (ULA) is proud to partner with NASA for the launch of a Cryogenic Fluid Management (CFM) Tipping Point Flight Demonstration. This presentation will provide an overview of the flight experiment that ULA will be designing, building, testing, and launching in support of NASA and space technology advancement objectives. The CFM technologies that ULA will launch for the first...
The sustainable exploration of space will rely on refueling and reuse of spacecraft and rocket stages. This will require propellant depots where cryogenic fluids are stored and then transferred into customer tanks. The long-term storage and transfer of cryogenic propellants in space has never been demonstrated. NASA has funded several projects to demonstrate these technologies in orbit and...
NASA Science and Technology Mission Directorate is investing in advancement of on-orbit cryogenic fluid management technologies by partnering with industry through multiple “Tipping Point” contracts with the primary objective of reducing development costs and schedules for infusion into long duration missions utilizing cryogenic propellant. Lockheed Martin was selected as a partner in 2020 to...
