SYSTEM EFFECTS ON PROPELLANT STORABILITY AND VEHICLE PERFORMANCE.

Abstract

The objective of this program is to study the influence of pertinent system design features and parameters on propellant storability and vehicle performance for a hypothetical LF2/LH2 maneuvering space propulsion system. The approach that will be taken is to: (1) perform theoretical studies on each basic subsystem and use the resulting data to optimize critical parameters for the overall system; (2) design and fabricate a test apparatus for evaluating, in a space simulation chamber, the analytical models; (3) evolve a test plan for this test apparatus; (4) reoptimize of the vehicle design parameters where necessary.
