Propellant production and storage in LEO / Produktion und Lagerung von Treibstoffen in niedrigen Erdumlaufbahnen
This study is aimed at the design of a system for propellant supply in LEO and the estimation of its mass and cost as a function of various parameters, notably the amount of propellant to be processed. A parametric model of a system for the production and storage of cryogenic and storable propellants and the associated life cycle cost model are des...
Research and development assignment: '3kN storable liquid bi-propellant engine, phase N3, sea level testing' Final repor...
A liquid storable bi-porpellant engine of the 3000 N thrust class is being developed by MBB with hot firing tests under sea-level conditions. It should equip ARIANE 4 and 5 and Space Shuttle payloads in the 1990's. The B3 development phase follows a B1/B2 phase which was conducted under an ESTEC contract and which ended in 1987. The aim of the phas...

Definition of a medium thrust earth storable bipropellant engine for future applications Executive summary
A medium thrust engine for transfer and injection missions, using earth storable propellants, is defined by analyzing the different mission requirements and by considering propulsion system aspects, engine technological and economical aspects. The primary choice is a pressurefed, 5 kN engine with a down-rating capability to 3,5 kN by throttling. Up...
