It uses one or more gas-generators for driving one or more turbines, which power the turbopumps to bring the propellants from [[tank head]] to [[injector pressure]]. The exhaust of the gas-generator is vented over-board and is not used for propulsion. |
This cycle has the advantage of being very simple to design and operate, but is getting very ineffective for higher [[Chamber pressure|chamber pressures]]. | This cycle has the advantage of being very simple to design and operate, but is getting very ineffective for higher [[Chamber pressure|chamber pressures]]. | ||
