MOTOR STORAGE STUDIES PROGRAM PLAN PHASE I, MOTOR STORAGE PROGRAM. VOLUME I. WEAPON SYSTEM 133A

Abstract

The Motor Storage Program uses a total of 15 Wing I, 6 Wing II, and 4 Wing IV stage III Minuteman rocket motors. A master schedule, giving casting, storing, and firing dates and other details, shows that the different motors will undergo storage periods varying from 1 to 10 yr. Storage will be in conditions simulating operational environment. The program is composed of 11 steps that include, along with storage, transportation conditioning, test firing, inspections at various times, and, finally, analysis and evaluation. The program is designed to evaluate the storage capability of the stage III minuteman motor under operational conditions, and ultimately to aid in the prediction of the usable life of the operationally deployed motor.
