Flometrics NASA SBIR Rocket Fuel Pump LN2 testing

Flometrics' NASA SBIR Rocket Fuel Pump
The pump meets the key objectives:
1. A pump that could work in space to pump liquid oxygen or methane and testing it under zero gee and simulated vacuum conditions.
2. Demonstrate the pump with Liquid Nitrogen at 400 psi and 2 gpm with less than 3% pressure variations

Calculating that it could increase the payload mass up to 28% for missions like Cassini.
We are proposing that we test the pump with a LOX/Methane RCS thruster for a phase two contract.

I saw your fuel pump design; just a few opening and closing valves with two pump chambers. No need for heavy high pressure tanks or turbo-pumps. That's very clever.

Best of luck.
