Engine concepts characterized by modular architecture, advanced technologies, and enhanced operability applicability to a wide range of missions (i.e., upper stage, space-based, transfer, lunar lander, ascent, and Mars lander propulsion systems). Two widely different propulsion system applications, a launch vehicle upper stage and a lunar lander vehicle, were developed around a common propulsion system architecture. These Integrated Modular Engine (IME) systems include propellant tanks, propellant distribution, and the rocket engines. This approach focused on automating and minimizing operations required for preparing and placing a propulsion system into operation. The versatility of the IME system architecture is described along with options to further integrate stage or vehicle functions.
