An investigation is underway to determine the suitability of carbon-carbon composite materials for lightweight nozzle extensions on the Orbit Transfer Vehicle (OTV). The best combinations of fiber precursor, matrix material, and oxidation protection coatings are being evaluated in a series of hot-fire tests in an O sub 2/H sub 2 rocket nozzle environment. Evaluation criteria include life expectancy (recession), strength to weight, producibility, maturity, and cost. A data base of carbon-carbon performance in the OTV nozzle environment will be established which may be used in designing a full-scale OTV nozzle extension.
