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 ...

Investigating Premature Ignition of Thruster Pressure Cartridges by Vibration-Induced Electrostatic Discharge [PDF]
, 2010 Pyrotechnic thruster pressure cartridges (TPCs) are used for aeroshell separation on a new NASA crew launch vehicle. Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) during TPC acceptance testing indicated that internal assemblies moved during shock and vibration testing

Experimental study on the porosity of HTPB propellant: characterization of damage evolution
Journal of Materials Research and TechnologyTo characterize the damage evolution mechanism of HTPB composite solid propellant, the porosity as well as the sphericity will be analyzed using micro-CT. Under normal temperature and pressure, the damage mechanisms include voids, ''dewetting'' damage at

Mechanical properties of HTPB composite propellants in the initial period of service life [PDF]
Scientific Technical Review, 2014 Uniaxial tensile tests of different composite solid rocket propellant compositions, based on hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB), have shown that mechanical properties extensively change after curing, up to 100% of their initial values, during the ...
