Refurbished Again Into P-3C Configuration
Under NASA LSP Project
• LOX/propylene propulsion, with engine featuring
HyperTherm’s C/SiC-lined ablative chamber
– to demonstrate TRL=6 for the chamber
– leveraged original chamber development by HT and
CSULB, with GSC test support, under NASA STTR
• also teamed with Long Beach Unified School District
(LBUSD) to continue providing STEM opportunities
– California Academy of Math and Sciences
– Cabrillo High School
