A vehicle system with unique characteristics will be needed in connection with the extension of the Space Transportation System (STS) from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO) and beyond. These characteristics are determined by NASA missions related to the deployment of large space structures, satellite servicing, and manned sorties to geosynchronous orbit. Advances in vehicle design and operation will be required along with significant advances in engine technologies. A versatile, well-instrumented test bed engine will be needed for the evaluation of the required technologies. Developments leading to the fabrication and assembly of the first high chamber pressure expander cycle test bed engine are discussed. The test bed engine, which is called Integrated Component Evaluator (ICE), is required for the development of an advanced, cryogenic, upperstage engine.
