The SSME Project Office is taking several paths to meet future needs for the Shuttle system. The producibility program focuses on manufacturing concerns. The product improvement program is attempting to address and correct limitations. The Alternate Turbopump Development Program focuses on the development of a more advanced and reliable turbopump design, and the Technology Test Bed Program focuses on the demonstration and verification of new technology and initial concept verification. A program has been structured to meet the needs of the payload community and to look forward toward the incorporation of advanced fabrication concepts.
