Description
In Phase II, Exo-Atmospheric Technologies, LLC (EXO) will team up with multiple propulsion providers to fabricate throat inserts, pintles, and other structural components to verify and validate their Additively-Manufactured Insulating Propulsion Component (AMIPC) technology. EXO will use analysis tools to create components optimized for thermal insulation and structural performance utilizing multiple Topology Optimization algorithms. The AMIPC components generated in Phase II will be hot-fire tested multiple times with a wide range of thrust sizes and propellant compositions with multiple commercialization partners. EXO will utilize their Reusable Motor System (RMS) to fire four throat inserts and will partner with a propulsion prime to test a pintle and throat assembly in a throttling SDACs system.
