In support of NASA's former Propulsion and Cryogenic Advanced Development (PCAD) project, a liquid oxygen (LO2)/liquid methane (LCH4) Integrated Propulsion System Test Bed (IPSTB) was conceived, designed, and advanced to the Critical Design Review (CDR) stage at the Johnson Space Center. The IPSTB's primary objective is to study LO2/LCH4 propulsion system steady state and transient performance, operational characteristics and to validate computer models of a LO2/LCH4 propulsion system for use in future flight design work.
