Abstract
A 30-tonf-class fullscale thrust chamber for the application to a Low-Earth-Orbit Space Launch Vehicle has been combustion tested over the wide ranges of a mixture ratio and a chamber pressure. The thrust chamber designed for a pump-fed open cycle engine was tested with an ablative chamber instead of a regenerative one for the initial evaluation of its performance and function. The test results revealed stable combustion characteristics. The hardware survived the harsh environment and showed very sound functional characteristics. The measured combustion efficiency turned out to be 95% and a specific impulse at sea level was estimated as 254sec, which are comparable to or above the predetermined design values.
