This paper discusses the design concept for a LOX/Hydrocarbon tripropellant booster engines. The conceptual design was for an oxygen/methane booster engine where liquid hydrogen is also used to eliminate or greatly reduce the risks associated with the design of high-pressure, reusable hydrocarbon booster engines. This paper is based on work performed by Pratt and Whitney under the 'Space Transportation Booster Engine Configuration Study', contract (NAS8-36857) for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), George C. Marshall Space Flight Center.
