DEVELOPMENT OF DOWNRATED ATLAS YLR101-NA-15 VERNIER ENGINE

Abstract

Presented is a summary of test results from a program to develop the YLR101-NA-15 vernier engine. The program was completed in three phases: (1) Downrating the tank-fed thrust of the YLR101-NA-13 vernier from 830 pounds to 525 pounds, (2) modifying and repackaging the 525pound-thrust vernier into the YLR101-NA-15 configuration, and (3) developing a modified vernier injector to minimize a thrust chamber erosion problem which occurred at the 525-pound-thrust level.
