It is therefore necessary to vent the residual propellants in the 2nd stage to avoid debris-generating in-orbit explosion. Based on the characteristics of LM-2C, several concepts have been proposed. After detailed evaluation of these concepts, the method to drain the residual propellants through the main valves of the main engine has been selected.展开更多
