Oxygen/hydrogen component technology status.The advanced technology applicable to oxygen/hydrogen systems for auxiliary propulsion systems and other high energy upper stage applications is being developed. Turbopump, propellant conditioner (gas generator and heat exchanger), thruster, igniter, valve, and flow controller components are being evaluated. A brief description of turbopump, conditioner, valve, and thruster experimental programs is presented. Design and hot-firing test data are discussed.
