![]() ![]() NASA Material Development for Future Deep Space MissionsĪluminum is an ideal material for the development of rocket components because of its ability to provide significant strength without increased weight since it is a low-density metal. The component’s development was the result of the combined efforts of engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center and their industry partners at Colorado-based Elementum 3D. The rocket nozzle is assembled from a new weldable variety of aluminum that is heat-resistant enough for use in rockets but is also more lightweight than other nozzles used in conventional rocket engines. ![]() NASA reports that it has tested a new 3D-printed rocket engine component made from a novel material that could help to hasten an era of deep space flights that are able to carry larger payloads. ![]()
