Momentus has developed a 3D-printed metal propellant tank slated for flight testing on its Vigoride-7 mission in 2026. Created in partnership with Velo3D, the tank features internal propellant management structures that are impossible to manufacture with traditional methods. This transition from orbital servicing to component supply addresses high-cost barriers and reduces typical long-lead production timelines. By consolidating complex assemblies into a single additive unit, Momentus is accelerating the commercialization of standardized space infrastructure. 🚀🛰️ #3DPrinting #AdditiveManufacturing #SpaceTech #Momentus #Aerospace
