DTIC ADA107560: SLD Reaction Control and Propulsion

More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The Reaction Control and Propulsion System has been established on a preliminary basis. The overall system has been conceived using one TMC R-40B thruster, operating at 900 pounds thrust and ten TMC R-6C 5 pound thrust attitude control thrusters. The R-40B bipropellant thruster is a modified Space Shuttle Orbiter Attitude Control Engine (the R-40A). The R-40A has been modified only slightly with resized nozzle and chamber assembly optimized for the available space in the SLD. The R-6C bipropellant attitude control thrusters qualified for commercial and DoD spacecraft are packaged in two five thruster modules attached externally to the stage structure. (Author
