| Description | SOPSA (Shuttle Orbit Injection Propulsion System Analysis) is a computer program to aid in the preliminary design of propellant feed systems for the space shuttle orbiter main engines. The primary purpose of the program is to evaluate propellant tank ullage pressure requirements imposed by the need to accelerate propellants rapidly during the engine start sequence. These requirements can influence the system design for a given engine as well as the suitability of a given system for use with different engines. During the vehicle design phase, the SOPSA program is used to establish feed system weight variations as a function of nominal line diameter and component and line configurations. The weight data are used in conjunction with pertinent cost data to establish optimum feed system designs. |
