A spacecraft propulsion concept first imagined in the 1960s just became reality thanks to the unique capabilities of the Space Propulsion Environment Facility at the Air Force Research Laboratory Rocket Lab. The new system combines electric and chemical propulsion using one propellant, one tank and one feed system. Tested under orbit-like vacuum conditions at Edwards Air Force Base, California, it gives future space operators the flexibility to choose between efficient repositioning and faster maneuvers.
SMART scholars at Sponsoring Facilities like the Air Force Research Laboratory contribute to innovative work happening at world-class facilities that turn ideas into mission-ready technology.

Dr. Robert Goddard, born OTD in 1882, is remembered as a pioneer of modern rocketry who not only theorized, but built and tested his inventions. His work on multi-stage, liquid-fueled, and steerable rocket concepts laid the groundwork for today's space vehicles.
Our @NASAGoddard center in Maryland is named in his honor.
