NASA's Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) Propulsion Technologies Program includes maturation and demonstration activities supporting a variety of propulsion system concepts. The primary emphasis of this program is to identify and mature the technologies required to enable the development of the optimum main propulsion system (MPS) for RLV applications. By applying a methodical approach to the maturation process, through use of subscale system and subsystem validation testing and, where appropriate, engine system level technology demonstration, the development cost of the RLV MPS will be substantially reduced. The major building blocks of this approach are Engine Systems and MPS Subsystem Demonstrators, Supporting Component Technologies, and Russian Technologies, are described further.
