This report presents the analytical design of propulsion systems utilizing LOX/Hydrogen propellants to be used as the propulsion for the Orbit to Orbit Space Vehicle of 65,000 lb lift-off weight. The report contains the evaluation of various engine cycles in the thrust range of 8,000 lb to 50,000 lb thrust for performance, weight and envelope culminating in the cycle selection and detail design of a 25,000 lb and 10,000 lb thrust engine. The engine concepts are described in sufficient detail to obtain reliable engine weight, performance, envelope information and methods of engine control. The impact of various engine design requirements were evaluated. The engines are designed to be reusable and capable of starting in the idle mode operation. The technology requirements for meeting the engine design and operating requirements are identified. (Author)
