Armadillo Aerospace and NASA Tests Fuels of the Future

Engineers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center and White Sands Test Facility teamed up with Dallas-based Armadillo Aerospace through an Innovative Partnership Program agreement to design and test a rocket engine that runs on liquid oxygen and liquid methane, for use on the moon or other extraterrestrial surfaces. Armadillo developed the engine, JSC designed and fabricated the nozzle and provided oversight on the project, and White Sands contributed the testing facilities. The project was jointly funded through the NASA Innovative Partnership Program office, the Propulsion and Cryogenic Advanced Development project, and Armadillo Aerospace.
