Several hard restarts and two failures to restart occurred during simulated high-altitude testing of the three Apollo spacecraft primary propulsion engines. Abnormal restarts resulted from flow perturbations by trapped propellants, ignition characteristics of partially frozen propellants, and fuel nitrate retention. Engine restart characteristics are correlated with thermodynamic phenomena that occur after engine shutdown; these include desorption of dissolved pressurant gases and evaporative freezing of propellant residuals. These results are applied to conceptual space shuttle OMS hypergol engines to identify potential restart problems.
