Solid Propulsion Integrity Program (SPIP) for verifiable enhanced solid rocket motor reliability [PDF]
To increase the success rate of U.S. built Rocket Motors (SRM), the approach taken is: (1) set common reliability goals for nozzles, cases, bondline, propellant, and insulation; (2) build a common engineering data base to support standard industry-wide ...

Mars Ascent Vehicle Hybrid Propulsion Configuration [PDF]
As part of a Mars Sample Return (MSR) campaign, two Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV) configurations have been designed in parallel. Each ascent vehicle configuration has a different propulsion system which ultimately leads to two unique vehicle designs. As part
