The Air Force Rocket Propulsion Laboratory is sponsoring a program to develop the technology of a 500-lbF O2/H2 rocket engine intended to provide low thrust propulsion for delivery of large space structures to geosynchronous orbit, following deployment and checkout in low earth orbit. The engine design incorporates such innovative technology as a dual spool fuel turbopump for subcritical operation and a fuel regenerator for ample operating point margin. The engine design concept and major components are described in this paper.
