The object of the investigation was to determine the minimum thrust and fuel requirements for an autonomous exterior propulsion package attached to the external tank to avoid reentry on the critical first orbit, and to place the tank in a short term stable orbit from which customary orbit maintenance procedures may be carried out. It is shown that a 1000 lbf (4450 N) hydrogen/oxygen thruster is capable of boosting the tank to a transfer orbit with an apogee of 206 km and a perigee of 159 km by means of expending a 1100 lbm (500 kg) propellant at the initial orbit apogee following MECO. The subsequent orbit will have a decay time of 46 hours (32 orbits) to reentry under solar maximum conditions. Estimates for propellant mass required for subsequent boost to a 500 km altitude storage orbit are presented.","PeriodicalId":405803,"journal":{"name":"Engineering, Construction, and Operations in Space II","volume":"AES-21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126551303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
