NASA Tests Engine Technology for Landing Astronauts on the Moon
wrote in message ... The CECE is based on the existing Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne RL10 upper stage rocket engine. Previous first-hand flight experience, as well as this data, will allow engineers to develop simulation models that can focus testing for efficiency and effectiveness. Proving once again that the RL10 is the workhorse of US vacuum rocket engines. :-) Jeff -- "Many things that were acceptable in 1958 are no longer acceptable today.

That's the page alright; the picture of the spiraled heat exchanger is particularly interesting. There's more stuff (in English) he http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/Hi...4404/ch8-1.htm Pat |
