A #turbopump is spinning at thousands of rotations per minute (RPM) while pumping liquids into the engines and keeping a stable inlet pressure. When the inlet pressure suddenly drops, cavitation can occur. This is where bubbles start to form on the pump blades, which start damaging the blades, and when moving at thousands of RPM, this can quickly destroy a pump and lead to an explosion 💥. To fix this, #SpaceX is redesigning the tank filtration nasaspaceflight.com/2024/02/mi
