An Integrated Modular Engine (IME) system conceptual design has been developed for meeting the upper stage propulsion requirements. This design was used to identify key technical areas for further development and demonstration. A number of factors are favorable for introducing advanced technologies: new materials are available, controls and health monitoring are vastly more capable, and new fabrication methods are coming on-line. Furthermore, recent innovative integrated propulsion system architecture designs leverage the benefits throughout the stage. All needed technologies are compatible with near-term initial launch capability around the year 2000. These technologies do not require extensive, time-consuming, or expensive development programs to bring these technologies to fruition. This paper describes those technologies that need to be developed to support an IME development program which would result in an affordable propulsion system applicable to a wide range of missions, i.e., upper stage, space-based, transfer, lunar lander, lunar ascent, and Mars lander propulsion systems.
