Key to the achievement of maximum benefit from the Space Tug transportation system is the availability of a low-cost, high-performance engine system. To define this engine system, studies have been conducted under Air Force and NASA direction, and pertinent hardware technology programs have been initiated. From among the several candidate systems studied, the cryogenic, staged-combustion cycle, high chamber pressure system in conjunction with a large-area-ratio nozzle was selected for component and subsystem demonstration. Main turbopump, high-area-ratio thrust chamber, preburner, and igniter components are being evaluated. A brief description of the engine capabilities, the main liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen turbopump/preburner, and the main thrust chamber programs are presented; designs and progress in fabrication are shown and test results discussed.
