Various papers on space system technology are presented. The topics discussed include: gallium arsenide solar cell vapor phase technology, liquid phase epitaxial GaAs solar cells, the San Marco Mission solar array, autonomous solar arrays for the future, application of viscous and inviscid computation methods for rocket turbopump systems, solar dynamic power for a space station, a two-phase thermal management system for the space station, and the effect of bipropellant thruster contaminant on solar array performance. Also considered are: uprated orbital maneuvering engine, pump-fed satellite delivery stage engine technology, lox/hydrocarbon propellants for space propulsion systems, refurbishment of the Space Shuttle solid rocket motor, NASA's approach to flight confidence, diagnostic needs of the Space Shuttle main engine, reusable rocket engine turbopump condition monitoring, Space Shuttle mission extension capability, advanced launch vehicles, and the Space Shuttle main engine overhaul program.
