Liquid oxygen/hydrocarbon (LOX/HC) fueled engines are being considered for use in future high-pressure engines for launch vehicles and as possible replacements for the orbital maneuvering system and reaction control system engines on the Space Shuttle. High performance, reusability, and low life cycle cost are required for these applications. A technology base for these engines is now being established. This paper provides a review of recent results from LOX/HC technology contracts for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
