Application of existing Rocket-dyne engines to second stage vehicle applications is examined with respect to potential engine start problems associated with low ambient pressure of high altitude; it is shown that existing booster engines as used in Saturn and late model Atlas missiles are directly applicable; with minor modification, earlier models as used in Thor and Jupiter missiles are adaptable to second stage applications.
