Liquid Propellant Tracing Impingement InjectorAn injector for use with the rocket thruster has a plurality of fuel ports separated from a plurality of oxidizer ports. The oxidizer and fuel ports are paired together directing their respective fluids along a path with radial and tangential components so that the two fluids impinge at a predetermined spaced apart distance from the chamber wall of the combustion chamber at an impingement track. By providing the fuel at a steeper angle relative to the chamber walls than the oxidizer, the fuel can be utilized to provide a fuel rich zone near the chamber walls to assist in cooling the chamber walls during operation.
