Research abstract
During the proposed Phase I research and development effort, the project team will conduct a study to identify and document Missile Defense Agencys requirements for a target vehicle upper stage using Green liquid propellants. The project team will identify the propellant combination that best meets the needs of the Government. A conceptual design of the stage will be conducted and performance estimated. The project team will conduct a hot-fire prototype demonstration of a green propellant using an approach which is conducive to application in a high thrust propulsion system. The proposed project team will develop a plan for a potential follow-on Phase II flight demonstration program.Approved for Public Release | 17-MDA-9395(24 Oct 17)
