Engine Pump Helps Computers Chill Out

A real-world story of NASA technology finding a life beyond the mission.

About this technology

Overview

When NASA wanted a lighter, more reliable rocket pump, it awarded SBIR funding to a fluid dynamics specialist to develop one. While the resulting pump didn’t find its way into a space rocket, it soon became the starting point for a liquid cooling system for supercomputers and servers.
