A liquid injection thrust vector control (LITVC) system for the shuttle solid rocket booster (SRB) was analyzed. The LITVC was compared with the SRB baseline flexible seal. A table of LITVC advantages and disadvantages is presented. It is concluded that the LITVC performs well at low to moderate duty cycles, but not for high duty cycle requirements.
