This program includes analysis and preliminary design of an advanced rocket engine using an Aerospike nozzle and experimental evaluation of critical technology related to the Aerospike concept. Component and system features, physical arrangements, and design parameters and details have been established for an optimum demonstrator engine. Studies of application of a flight engine to certain vehicles are completed. Experimental injector performance investigations on segment chambers and material studies are completed. Full-scale testing of the injector in an uncooled thrust chamber was completed, and fabrication of full-scale, cooled thrust chambers for performance demonstrations is completed. Fabrication of segments for structural and cooling evaluations is also completed.
