Pressure fed fluorine-oxidized rocket propulsion systems offer payload increases of 25 to 110% over payload of equivalent oxygen oxidized systems, depending on, and increasing with upper stage velocity requirement, such that payload increase of 100% can be estimated for lunar or planetary missions; phased tripropellant fluorine-propulsion system concept is introduced; measure of current state of art of these systems is presented relating to development and operational experience gained in 800 fluorine propulsion subsystems tests conducted during past 6 yr.
