Product Name: Chemical In-Space Propulsion
Manufacturer Name: L3Harris Technologies
Product Description: L3Harris Chemical In-Space Propulsion systems provide advanced bipropellant and monopropellant engines designed for a wide range of in-space operations and exploration missions. With over 2,500 bipropellant engines delivered, these systems utilize hydrazine or monomethylhydrazine (MMH) propellants combined with nitrogen tetroxide (NTO) oxidizer to generate thrust levels from 2.5 to 40,000 pounds. Notably, the R-4D engine, originally developed for the Apollo missions, has achieved a remarkable 100 percent success rate across more than 390 apogee-insertion missions for geostationary satellites. Additionally, L3Harris has produced over 19,000 hydrazine-fueled monopropellant engines, which are critical for planetary exploration and are utilized in various spacecraft for precision maneuvering and control. These innovative propulsion solutions are integral to missions involving the Orion and Starliner spacecraft, as well as the International Space Station (ISS), enabling reliable deep-space exploration and efficient in-space operations.
