RL-36 Requirements

RL-36 shall be designed around feed system components that are already in Launch Initiative's possession. 

RL-36 shall be in the thrust range of a medium-size spacecraft's reaction control system (10-500 lb_f, according to Rocket Propulsion Elements) and shall be below the impulse threshold of NAR high-power rocket engines. 

RL-36 shall be designed such that thrust and combustion chamber pressure can be measured using off-the-shelf instruments. 

RL-36 shall have a redundant shut-off system. 

RL-36 shall have a ground station for remote test-firing and data acquisition.
