- Single Aerojet AJ10-137 Service Propulsion System on the Charlie Brown service module; the existing Apollo CSM Block II integrated-system boundary is reused without changing the propulsion identity.

- Name
- Apollo 10 Charlie Brown CSM Block II propulsion
- Notes
- Apollo 10 Charlie Brown command-and-service-module propulsion only. The Block II boundary is represented by one AJ10-137 Service Propulsion System, two Command Module reaction-control subsystems, and four Service Module reaction-control quad packages. Saturn launch-vehicle propulsion and the separate Snoopy lunar-module systems remain outside this configuration.

- Variant Notes
- One integrated Lunar Module Descent Propulsion System used for Apollo 10 near-surface descent testing; the existing integrated-system identity is retained rather than inventing a mission-specific engine model.

- Variant Notes
- One integrated Lunar Module Ascent Propulsion System used for Apollo 10 ascent-stage firing and rendezvous; no exact engine variant is inferred from generic evidence.
- Name
- Apollo 10 Snoopy lunar-module propulsion
- Notes
- Apollo 10 Snoopy lunar-module main propulsion only. NASA documents the near-surface descent test and ascent-stage firing for rendezvous and docking; the existing integrated Descent Propulsion System and Ascent Propulsion System identities are reused. The Lunar Module reaction-control system is intentionally omitted because no exact canonical LM-RCS dependency is present in this packet, and no new identity or engine model is inferred.
