Abstract:

A program to design, fabricate, and test three Target Engine Systems was completed. The designs consisted of flight-proven hardware. The two versions the low-thrust version employing an RS-14 engine and the high-thrust a modified Atlas vernier made use of a common design, pressurization, and propellant feed system and structure. Construction utilized a mockup for reference purposes and to reduce program costs. Author
