NASA on AM enabled Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine: 3D Printing Industry Awards 2024

Thomas Teasley, a liquid propulsion engineer at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), explains how additive manufacturing is a key component in developing the Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE), a transformative propulsion system that leverages detonative combustion.  The Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine generates thrust through continuous, spinning detonation waves within a circular combustion chamber.
