Team 55: Pump-Fed Space Vehicle Propulsion System

Abstract

Traditional propulsion systems are not viable for smaller space vehicles, therefore it is necessary for innovative solutions. An electric pump-fed system would allow multiple benefits. The goal of this project is to design and build a bench-top fuel pump system to simulate flight operations and perform data collection and testing to characterize critical components.
