Paper reviews ways in which propulsion system designed for manned spacecraft differs from that of unmanned vehicle, and is limited to discussion of chemical propulsion systems; general requirements and design considerations unique to manned propulsion systems are, engine requirements with regard to crew safety and reliability, requirements for pilot controls and displays, propellant management requirements, and possibility of in-flight maintenance and repair.
