Modification to a Previous NASA Notice: Cargo Launch Vehicle Core Stage Engine

“This is a modification to the synopsis entitled “CARGO LAUNCH VEHICLE CORE STAGE ENGINE”, which was posted on February 23, 2006. You are notified that the following changes are made: The requirement is hereby cancelled.”

NASA MSFC Solicitation: Cargo Vehicle Core Stage Engine (original notice):

“NASA/MSFC has baselined the use of a lower cost version of the Space Shuttle Main Engine as the Core Stage Engine (CSE) for the proposed Cargo Launch Vehicle (CaLV). At this time, special studies are needed to evaluate and assess the processes and requirements necessary to develop and certify the CSE for the CaLV. The Core Stage Engine will be a highly affordable, expendable engine derived from the current Space Shuttle Main Engine (RS-25).”
