Boeing to Test Oxidizer Pump for Advanced Rocket Engine

Abstract

On the heels of a successful series of preburner tests for the Air Force Research laboratory's integrated Powerhead Demonstration (IPD) at the Stennis Space Center (SSC) in Mississippi, the Rocketdyne Propulsion and Power (RPP) business of the Boeing Company will next turn its attention to hot fire testing of its oxidizer turbopump which will become part of the IPD engine system and provide key technologies for the RS-84 engine which is part of NASA's Space Launch Initiative.
