P3 Technologies Delivers Flight Pump for Lockheed Martin Cryogenic Fluid Management
P3 Technologies has delivered liquid hydrogen SCAMP pumps to Lockheed Martin Space for a cryogenic fluid management development effort. Named Ersa after one of Jupiter’s moons, the pump operates in Zero-G with zero net positive suction pressure. As a result, it is required to be self-priming and capable of operating with either a gas, liquid, or two-phase flow. “It is really nice to work with partners like P3 Technologies who continue to help us develop new technologies to further our lunar and deep space exploration programs, aiding in successful program and mission execution”, says Lockheed Martin Space.
Two-Phase Flow: Innovation in Motion
We always believe in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. This belief led us to develop and patent the SCAMP (Self-Contained Actuating Magnetic Pump), a revolutionary pumping solution designed to tackle some of the most challenging fluid management issues across various industries.
