| 1. | At that time they solved the problem by using a cluster of smaller thrust chambers.
|
| 2. | Several Valentin P . Glushko, faced problems of combustion instability while designing bigger thrust chambers.
|
| 3. | The injector and oxidizer dome assembly was located at the top of the thrust chamber.
|
| 4. | The thrust chamber tests were run sometime in 2013.
|
| 5. | The rocket had two small thrust chambers on the sides of the tank called vernier rockets.
|
| 6. | The thrust chamber and upper nozzle sections has the corrugated metal sandwiched between an inner and outer metal layers.
|
| 7. | The thrust chamber was constructed of thick stainless steel tubes, stacked longitudinally and furnace-brazed to form a single unit.
|
| 8. | The engine was originally announced to produce thrust, with initial thrust chamber tests planned for mid-February 2013 at NASA Stennis.
|
| 9. | The heart of the engine was the thrust chamber, which mixed and burned the fuel and oxidizer to produce thrust.
|
| 10. | Known as the RD-180, the new engine has two thrust chambers and nozzles instead of four, producing half the power.
