- Purdue University received a $206,675 research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, awarded August 16, 2021, with performance completed by February 26, 2025, at the university's West Lafayette, Indiana campus. The grant supports research on Rotating Detonation Engines (RDEs) for space propulsion applications. RDEs represent an alternative combustion approach to traditional constant-pressure combustion systems, operating instead as pressure-grain combustion engines. This...
- This is a federal grant award by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University for an experimental and computational study of a modular rocket RDE (rotating detonation engine) operating under various mixing conditions. The $199,035.51 grant has a period of performance through May 14, 2023 and is focused on designing a combustor with optical access to study the flow field and enable accurate modeling at low computational expense. Purdue University, as a prime...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a prominent public research university, to conduct an experiment measuring the wave attenuation characteristics of two-phase flows for application to rotating detonation engines (RDEs). The award, valued at $292,617.24, began on August 15, 2020, and is scheduled for completion on May 10, 2024. Purdue University, as a 1862 Land Grant College and other not-for-profit educational institution,...
- This is a $19,202 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a non-profit educational institution, to explore the development of high-performance additively manufactured rotating detonation rocket engines. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. Purdue University, as the prime contractor, will conduct research and testing to advance this rotating detonation rocket engine technology, which can provide improved performance for space...
- This firm-fixed price purchase order contract was awarded by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory to Purdue University, an educational institution, to advance the development of solid-fueled rotating detonation engines. The potential value of the contract is $180,000.00 and the period of performance runs through July 14, 2023. This award does not utilize a set-aside program. As a research-focused university, Purdue has a long history of supporting U.S....
- Purdue University has been awarded a $550,000 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate rotating detonation combustion for space engines using reduced toxicity hypergolic propellants. Purdue will lead this research effort as the prime contractor, partnering with Small Business in Space LLC. The research is to be conducted in West Lafayette, Indiana over a three-year period concluding in January 2023. No set-aside designation or additional context...
- This federal contract award to Purdue University, a non-profit educational institution, is for the development of rocket engines capable of deep throttling, defined as being able to operate at less than 25% of their maximum thrust. This represents a dynamic range of 4:1 or better, which is extremely valuable for precision maneuvers requiring substantial delta-V. The award, contract number 80NSSC19K1161, has a ceiling value of $311,367.00 and an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2023. The...
- This federal contract award from the Shared Services Center (SSC), a civilian agency, is for the "Optimization of Device Geometry for Rotating Detonation Engines" project. The $336,000.00 grant for research was awarded to Purdue University, a prominent 1862 Land Grant College and other not-for-profit educational institution with extensive experience in federal contract and grant awards. The contract has no set-aside designation. Purdue University will be the prime contractor,...
- This federal contract award to Purdue University, a research institution located in West Lafayette, Indiana, supports further understanding and characterization of high-speed flow dynamics in transonic to hypersonic regimes. This research is important for the development, testing, and improvement of complex rocket and space vehicles. The contract, valued at $246,500.65, is a grant for research with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Shared Services Center. The award...
- This is a $336,000.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University, a public land-grant research university located in West Lafayette, Indiana. The grant is for a research project titled "HYPERGOLIC REACTIVE BOUNDARIES" with a completion date of July 31, 2027. Purdue University, which is not a set-aside contract, has a robust presence in federal contract and grant award markets, providing a wide range of...
This federal contract award to Purdue University, an institution of higher education and research, supports the modeling and investigation of Rotational Detonation Engines (RDEs). RDEs are an alternative to conventional liquid rocket engines, operating via detonation rather than constant pressure combustion. The $284,628.02 award from NASA's Shared Services Center will develop a quasi-one dimensional model to predict the performance of RDEs across different geometries and operating conditions. The project is structured in two phases: steady state modeling and transient modeling. Purdue will work to systematically incorporate key operational phenomena into the central model and validate it against experimental data from Purdue's Zucrow Laboratories. NASA will provide subject matter expertise to support the identification and implementation of critical operational factors. This contract does not have a set-aside designation.
