The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is issuing special notice T2P-MSFC-00052 to solicit inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market a one-piece liquid rocket thrust chamber assembly. This technology transfer opportunity, identified as MFS-TOPS-93, offers potential exclusive or nonexclusive licenses for specific fields of use. This notice is categorized under NAICS 927110 Space Research and Technology and PSC 9999 MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. Interested parties must submit responses by March 2, 2027, to facilitate market research regarding public interest in future licensing.
The featured technology is a lightweight, one-piece regeneratively-cooled thrust chamber assembly developed under the Rapid Analysis and Manufacturing Propulsion Technology project. Unlike standard assemblies that require bolting or welding individual components, this design utilizes 3D printing and large-scale additive manufacturing to directly deposit the nozzle onto the combustion chamber. This manufacturing method eliminates complex joints to improve reliability. Furthermore, the assembly replaces traditional solid metal jackets with a composite overwrap, reducing the overall hardware weight by more than 40 percent.
NASA intends to use these licensing partnerships to develop specialized additive manufacturing vendors and accelerate the integration of reliable spaceflight hardware into the United States supply chain. No funding is provided in conjunction with these potential licenses, and no follow-on procurement is expected to result from this notice. Formal expressions of interest are processed through NASA’s Automated Technology Licensing Application System or via email to the Technology Transfer Program.
