Mar 1, 2025March 2025 Turbopump work delivered key LOX and RP-1 casing enhancements for PURPL-Purdue/Turbopump, expanding design variants and asset readiness. LOX Casing Subassembly introduced new casing and turbine stator components, with a sequence of PR updates and multiple pump variants (3-4-2025, 3-6-2025, 3-8-2025) to broaden performance envelopes. RP-1 Casing Subassembly added kerosene casing components and new casing assets, including several .prt files (3-9-2025, 3-30-2025, 3-31-2025) and a reconciliation step reverting to a previous RP-1 model. All work maintained clear traceability via commit history. Together these changes enable faster design iteration, improved subsystem reliability, and more flexible propulsion configurations for LOX/RP-1 subsystems.
