Transferring small payloads to lunar orbits, the lunar surface, and cislunar space (including Earth-Moon LaGrange points and the lunar Near Rectilinear Halo Orbits) requires a new class of launch vehicle stage. NASA has made an additional commitment to develop Parabilis' low-cost, green and safe hybrid propulsion for this purpose. https://parabilis-space.com/june-22-2023-nasa-selects-parabilis-for-lunar-transfer-stage/

Like many others in the aerospace industry, Parabilis engineer Russell Babb is a pilot and very passionate about flying. He is a certified private pilot in both Single-Engine Land aircraft and Gliders. On many weekends Russell can be found at Hemet-Ryan Airport in Hemet, CA where he flies with the Cypress Soaring Glider Club. “I love the freedom of flight, the new perspective it gives and the challenge it provides.” The posted video shows Russell at the controls of a Schweizer 1-34 sticking a near-perfect landing.

Russell joined Parabilis in 2020 after graduating with a Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from Utah State University. He is a key technical contributor on several Parabilis programs including a hybrid rocket motor for hypersonic flight and a novel wireless transducer device. Russell also adds substantial value to our non-public in-space propulsion programs for the US government. “Parabilis has allowed me to learn and grow as an engineer, challenged me to try new things and be a part of cool technologies.”

Parabilis is very pleased to be recognized as a success story by NASA. Please read about our Hybrid Upper Stage program.

Rocket launch propulsion systems are critical technologies for many of NASA’s missions. The largest classes of launch propulsion systems use either solid or liquid propellants, but these have operational and cost challenges.

News Release: Parabilis Announces Three NASA Program Wins

Parabilis Space Technologies Inc. was recently awarded three additional NASA contracts to design, develop, and test new space technologies. “We are extremely pleased with these important NASA program wins,” said Dave Streich, Chief Executive Officer. “These programs contribute directly to NASA’s goals, and add substantially to the product portfolio of Parabilis.”

Orbital Transfer Stage Program

In collaboration with USC, Parabilis will design and deliver an Orbital Transfer Stage (OTS). This modular propulsion system is specifically designed for Nanosats and Microsats requiring orbit insertion, tactical change maneuvering, or launch vehicle collision avoidance.

Liquid Injection Thrust Vector Control (LITVC) System

Parabilis will design, build, and hot fire test a subscale Liquid Injection Thrust Vector Control (LITVC) system with a regeneratively-cooled, additively-manufactured nozzle to address the steering needs of interplanetary sample return missions. Sample return from extraterrestrial bodies is critical to advancing human understanding of the solar system, and is a core part of the NASA Science Plan.

Dynamically Adjustable 3D-Printed Venturi

Parabilis will develop and test a dynamically-adjustable, in-line, cavitating flow-control and measurement venturi for use in advanced propulsion system ground testing. Lightweight, minimalistic additive manufacturing designs are typically cheaper than traditionally machined parts, providing a significant advantage to the aerospace industry, where mass comes at a premium.

Day in and day out, Parabilis engineers work as an efficient and effective team to achieve amazing things. Until the annual holiday party. Then it's "everyone for themselves" in the brutal ping pong tournament, and "screw your colleague" in the white elephant gift exchange.
