Description

Parabilis Space Technologies proposes technology development for a safe, economical, high performance liquid oxygen/gelled methane upper stage in response to solicitation SB152-008. The initial effort will be focused on the development of a densified methane gel and as well as the design of an electric driven pump for high density gelled propellant slurries. This development will enable the use of higher performance, safer, denser propellants on launch vehicles than are currently practical.
