1991年9月1日 · Elements of an advanced functional framework for reusable rocket engine propulsion system control are presented for the Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) demonstration case. Functional elements of the baseline functional framework are …
The Space Shuttle propulsion system consists of two large solid rocket booster (SRB) motors, three space shuttle main engines (SSME), and an external propellant tank (ET), all used to boost the shuttle orbiter into space. In addition, the orbiter contains two orbital maneuvering system (OMS) engines, and 44 reaction control system (RCS) thrusters.
2015年12月3日 · The Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) was the first and only fully reusable, high performance, liquid rocket engine in the world rated for human spaceflight. The staged combustion engine burned a mixture of LO2 and LH2 to lift the vehicle into space.

Generally speaking, classical control can be used to design for adequate P,, and MR control provided loop speeds (bandwidths) are properly accounted. Sensing requirements for P, and MR performance are minimal, usually being chamber pressure and propellant mass flows. This discussion does not include treatment of startup or shutdown.
