ALTITUDE DEVELOPMENTAL TESTING OF THE J-2 ROCKET ENGINE IN PROPULSION ENGINE TEST CELL (J-4) (TEST J4-1801-04)

Abstract

Four firings of the Rocketdyne J-2 rocket engine were conducted in Test Cell J-4 of the Large Rocket Facility. The firings were accomplished during test period J4-1801-04 at pressure altitudes ranging from 100,000 to 109,500 ft at engine start at predicted maximum starting energy S-V/S-IVB first burn conditions and maximum and minimum energy orbital restarting conditions.
