ADVANCED ROCKET ENGINE--STORABLE. PHASE 1 INTERIM FINAL REPORT. PART 1. SECTIONS 1 THROUGH 4

Abstract

This report summarizes the technical accomplishments of the initial phase of a rocket motor design study. The objectives of the program were to demonstrate within a two-phase effort the engineering practicality and performance characteristics of a high chamber pressure, staged combustion engine module. These demonstration firings will be accomplished during the second phase with high-performance 20-sec firings of a complete, full-scale engine module. However, before the complete engine work can be initiated, Aerojet- General Corporation must demonstrate in Phase I the feasibility of several features which are considered critical to the proposed engine design. The principal items in this category are the integrated turbopump housing, the propellant-lubricated bearings, the hydrostatic seals, and high-performance 20- sec firings with a cooled thrust chamber. In addition, the Phase I effort includes analysis, design, and test activity on several other aspects of the overall engine and of its unique components.
