- Abstract
The article focuses on the research of the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) to develop rocket propulsion technologies to improve space launch performance. It cites two crucial problems that obstruct space launch such as launch performance and cost. It notes that AFIT's current research aims to design and optimize a cryogenic liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen upper-stage engine.
