    After being run through a turbine to power the pumps, the gas is injected into the combustion chamber and burned with the remaining oxidizer. The staged combustion cycle (sometimes known as topping cycle, preburner cycle, or closed cycle) is a power cycle of a bipropellant rocket engine. In the staged combustion cycle, propellant flows through ...
