CELLULAR COMBUSTION CHAMBER PROGRAM (PROJECT SCORPIO). A SIMPLIFIED CLUSTERING TECHNIQUE FOR ROCKET ENGINE MODULES

Abstract

Results of the tests and evaluations performed on (1) a simplified clustering technique for rocket engine modules, (2) single modules utilizing simplified large thrust per element injectors and film-cooled thrust chambers, and (3) a unique thrust vectoring mechanism known as the CAM Ring Gimbal are presented. The high-energy, cryogenic propellant combination of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen was used throughout.
