Abstract
A liquid-propellant delivery system using low-pressure propellant storage tanks instead of heavier high-pressure tanks. Liquid propellant material is pumped from the low-pressure tanks by a solenoid-actuated high-pressure pump, and delivered to the rocket engine through a pressure-actuated injector valve.
