FTT PROPOSES DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN LIQUID OXYGEN AND LIQUID METHANE PUMPS FOR USE IN A HIGHLY CONFIGURABLE MODULAR ROCKET ENGINE TO DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE COST OF DEVELOPING AND PRODUCING NANO/MICRO LAUNCH PROPULSION STAGES. THE MODULAR ENGINE WILL USE AN ARRAY OF DIGITALLY CONTROLLED ELECTRIC PUMP FED THRUSTER MODULES WHICH PRODUCE ABOUT 2,400 LBF-THRUST EACH. POWER TO THE MODULES WILL COME FROM A CENTRALLY LOCATED GAS-GENERATOR POWERED TURBOGENERATOR OR A HIGH PERFORMANCE BATTERY PACK. THE VARIABLE SPEED MOTORS USED TO DRIVE THE PUMPS COULD ALLOW FOR ELIMINATION OF PROPELLANT MIXTURE RATIO CONTROL VALVES, GIMBALS, AND BELLOWS. THE 2,400 LBF-THRUST MODULES CAN BE CONFIGURED TO DELIVER ALMOST ANY THRUST COMBINATION DESIRED BY THE PROPULSION STAGE PRIME, FOREGOING THE NEED TO DESIGN AND DEVELOP AN EXPENSIVE PURPOSE BUILT ENGINE. FTT S PRIMARY GOAL WILL BE TO SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE THE COST OF THE PUMP WHICH HAS A DIRECT LINKAGE TO THE OVERALL PROPULSION SYSTEM COST.
