Integrated Reaction Control Systems (IRCS) are considered an enabling technology for future human exploration of the solar system. An IRCS uses the same fuel and oxidizer as the main propulsion system, allowing for increased performance and simplified cryogenic fluid management operations. The IRCS team at Marshall Spaceflight Center is currently evaluating an IRCS system that uses a combination of electric pumps and pressure-regulation devices to provide a constant flow of conditioned propellant to a thruster bank during operation. In the spring 2021 test series presented here, the feasibility of this concept was evaluated using liquid nitrogen as a simulant for liquid oxygen. The goal of this test series was to demonstrate the ability of the pump and pressure regulator to maintain adequate thruster inlet conditions during transient operation.
