About
The MVP system utilizes extrusion 3D printer technology to feed and melt Delrin fiber propellant. A low-power resistojet vaporizes the Delrin, generating continuous electrothermal thrust with a specific impulse of 66 s. The Delrin fiber is spooled in a cylindrical configuration, surrounding a core containing all electronics.
