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

- Four Service Module reaction-control quad packages distributed around the service-module periphery, matching the existing Apollo CSM Block II integrated-system boundary.
- Name
- Apollo 12 Yankee Clipper CSM Block II propulsion
- Notes
- The Block II CSM boundary includes service propulsion and separate command-module and service-module reaction-control systems. Saturn launch-vehicle propulsion is outside this spacecraft-family packet.

- Variant Notes
- One integrated Lunar Module Descent Propulsion System used for Apollo 12 powered descent; 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 12 ascent-stage liftoff and rendezvous; no exact engine variant is inferred from generic evidence.
- Name
- Apollo 12 Intrepid lunar-module propulsion
- Notes
- The Intrepid lunar-module configuration models the integrated descent and ascent propulsion systems documented for Apollo 12. No exact canonical Lunar Module RCS dependency is substituted, and no mission-specific engine variant is inferred.
