- Summary
- This is a cutaway model of injector for the the M-1, a liquid oxygen/liquid hydrogen rocket engine of 1.2-1.5 million pounds thrust. The M-1 was designed by the Aerojet as an advanced, high-performance first or upper stage powerplant for heavy-lift, deep space missions of the post-Saturn V (post-Apollo) era. The engine was conceived for use in the contemplated Nova super booster.
- Nova was NASA's largest planned vehicle and went through several configurations in proposals. One envisioned as many as 14 M-1 engines to power the first stage. That vehicle had a first stage thrust of 17 million pounds. However, funding reductions caused Nova to be cancelled.
