    Bell - Experimental Spacecraft RCS Thruster (1966)

    During the 1960's NASA looked at several possible improvements to the existing Block II Apollo's. One such study was by Bell and looked into a new design for RCS thrusters, which was theoretically scaleable from 5lb to 1000lb of thrust. Experimental auxiliary rocket engine, part I. Final report...

    J-2 Derivative Rocket Engines

    in 1964 NASA start improve the performance of the J-2 first under projectname "J-2X" later rename to J-2S they test fired Engine between 1965 and 1972, with in total of 30858 seconds burn time. Major difference J-2 between J-2S are: -the gas generator cycle to a tap-off cycle that supplied hot...

    Aerojet-General M-1 rocket engine

    The Aerojet-General M-1 was the largest and most powerful liquid hydrogen-fueled rocket engine to be designed and built. It offered a baseline thrust of 1.5 million pounds force and 1.8 million pounds force as its immediate growth target. The M-1 was larger and produced more thrust than the...
