The current Phase A-Extension of the OTV engine study program seeks to provide additional expander and staged combustion cycle data that will lead to design definition of the OTV engine. The proposed program effort will optimize the expander cycle engine concept (consistent with identified OTV engine requirements), investigate the feasibility of kitting the stage combustion cycle engine to provide extended low thrust operation, and conduct in-depth analysis of development risk, crew safety, and reliability for both cycles. Additional task will address costing of a 10k thrust expander cycle engine and support of OTV systems study contractors.
