Abstract

A space craft's rocket engines are cooled by a recirculating cooling system containing a non-propellant coolant fluid, such as water and/or ethylene glycol. With that recirculating cooling system to maintain the rocket engine combustion chamber at a lower temperature, spacecraft rocket engines may be constructed less expensively and can operate with greater safety by employing the more common metals in their construction. The cooling system also provides an easy means to warm and/or vaporize a propellant.
