The objective of the program is to study the influence of pertinent system design features and parameters on propellant storability and vehicle performance for a hypothetical LF2/LH2 maneuvering space propulsion system. The approach taken is to (1) perform theoretical studies on each basic sub-system and use the resulting data to optimize critical parameters for the overall system; (2) design and fabricate a test apparatus for evaluating as completely as possible, in a space simulation chamber, the analytical models used and the appropriate influence coefficients for inclusion into these models; (3) evolve a test plan for utilizing this test apparatus; and (4) use the test results to appropriately modify the analytical models and reoptimize the vehicle design parameters where necessary.
