	Rocketdyne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rocketdyne was formed by NAA in the immediate post-WWII era to study the German V-2 missile and adapt its engine to SAE measurements and US construction details.
		Rocketdyne's H-1 engine was used by the Saturn I booster main stage, which consisted essentially of a cluster of eight Jupiter's.
		Rocketdyne, now known as Pratt and Whitney Rocketdyne, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation, is headquartered in Canoga Park, California and has additional operations in West Palm Beach, Florida, Huntsville, Alabama, Kennedy Space Center, Florida and Stennis Space Center, Mississippi.

	Overhead Costs: Unallowable Costs Charged by Rockwell Corporation, Rocketdyne Division (Letter Report,
		Rocketdyne, however, paid civil penalties as a result of environmental lawsuits brought by the State of California in fiscal years 1990 and 1992 and included the outside legal expenses ($59,600) incurred in connection with these lawsuits in its fiscal year 1990 and 1992 overhead submissions.
		Rocketdyne has agreed to remove these costs from its overhead submissions, and it said it is revising its educational policy to discontinue reimbursement of full-time education at the undergraduate level.
		Rocketdyne's failure to record expenses as unallowable was primarily due to erroneous instructions for recording the costs of membership fees and weaknesses in procedures for handling the costs of outside legal services.

		Rocketdyne's (now Rocketdyne Propulsion and Power, a part of The Rocketdyne Company) contributions to the art began with pioneering rocket propulsion and are now being applied to the state of the art in hypersonic flight.
		A study was performed by Rocketdyne engineers in which a large number of parabolic-shaped contours, with a variety of different initial wall angles (qmax) and exit wall angles (qe), were analyzed.
		The aerospike engine, built and tested by Rocketdyne in the 1960s, is currently being evaluated for potential use with an SSTO vehicle because of its built-in altitude compensation features and the beneficial manner in which it "packages" or integrates with the vehicle.

		Rocketdyne had established its own stability council by the autumn of 1962 to pursue the issue of F-1 instability and also enlisted the support of leading authorities from government and universities.
		Rocketdyne's group was headed by Paul Castenholz and Dan Klute, temporarily relieved of their current duties for full-time attention to combustion instability.
		Rocketdyne personnel expended a great deal of effort on the perfection of brazing operations required for the nickel-alloy thrust chamber assembly; it was a major challenge to perfect an alloy and a brazing technique to seal the hundreds of tubes together in a bond that would withstand high temperatures and pressures.

	Increased Cancer Risk for Rocketdyne Workers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Workers most likely exposed to the rocket fuel component hydrazine atthe Rocketdyne field laboratory in Simi Valley, Calif., are more likelyto have died of lung cancer and several other types of cancer than wereco-workers not exposed to the chemical, according to a study by researchersat the UCLA School of Public Health.
		The strength of the findings are somewhat limited by the relativelysmall number of workers who died of cancer (404) and the imprecise waythat the workplace exposures had to be estimated, according to researchers.But the hydrazine study did have a relatively long follow-up period --an average of 29 years.
		The Rocketdyne chemical study is one of the few ever done examiningthe possible health consequences of exposure to hydrazine in the workplace,one reason researchers say the effort should be continued to see whetherthe disease patterns change over time.
