The NASA Space Technology Mission Directorate’s (STMD) Green Propellant Infusion Mission (GPIM) Technology Demonstration Mission (TDM) is comprised of a cross-cutting team of domestic spacecraft propulsion and green technology experts. The GPIM program has technology infusion-team members from all three major market sectors: Industry, NASA, and the Department of Defense. This team is led and managed by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. (Ball), and includes Aerojet, Edwards Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC), and NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC). STMD programmatic and technology oversight is provided by NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. The GPIM program shall fly an operational AF-M315E green propulsion subsystem on a Ball-built BCP-100 spacecraft.
