Orbital Maneuvering System

The Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) is a system of hypergolic liquid-propellant rocket engines used on the Space Shuttle and the Orion spacecraft. Designed and manufactured in the United States by Aerojet, the system allowed the orbiter to perform various orbital maneuvers according to requirements of each mission profile: orbital injection after main engine cutoff, orbital corrections during flight, and the final deorbit burn for reentry. From STS-90 onwards the OMS were typically ignited part-way into the Shuttle's ascent for a few minutes to aid acceleration to orbital insertion. Notable exceptions were particularly high-altitude missions such as those supporting the Hubble Space Telescope (STS-31) or those with unusually heavy payloads such as Chandra (STS-93). An OMS dump burn also occurred on STS-51-F, as part of the Abort to Orbit procedure.

Overview
The OMS consists of two pods mounted on the orbiter's aft fuselage, on either side of the vertical stabilizer. which produces of thrust with a specific impulse (Isp) of 316 seconds. The oxidizer-to-fuel ratio is 1.65-to-1, The expansion ratio of the nozzle exit to the throat is 55-to-1, and the chamber pressure of the engine is 8.6 bar.

Proposed OMS Payload Bay Kit
It was never built, but to augment the OMS an OMS Payload Bay Kit was proposed. It would have used one, two or three sets of OMS tanks, installed in the payload bay, to provide an extra 150 m/s, 300 m/s or 450 m/s (, or ) of delta-V to the orbiter. ==Orion ESM main engine==

Following the retirement of the Space Shuttle, these engines were repurposed for use on the Orion spacecraft's service module. This variant uses monomethylhydrazine as fuel, with MON-3 (mixed oxides of nitrogen) as oxidizer. It is planned to be used for the first six flights of the Artemis program; afterwards it would be replaced by a new "Orion Main Engine" starting with Artemis 7. ==References==
