A STUDY OF AEROSPACE GROUND EQUIPMENT REQUIRE MENTS FOR LARGE SOLID PROPELLANT ROCKET MOTORS, VOLUME I

Abstract

A study of Aerospace Ground Equipment for Large Solid Propellant Rocket Motors is reported. The work performed during the study encompassed the following: An extensive survey to compile avail able information and advanced thinking in areas of equipment, transportation and handling tech niques as applied to Large Solid Propellant Rocket Motors; Compilation and evaluation of con cepts for handling, transportation, static test, and assembly-to-upper- vehicle stages of the Large Solid Propellant Rocket Motors; Establish ment of detailed handling procedures for solid propellant rocket motor conponents at the manu facturer's site, static test area and launch site. Establishing of budgetary costs for the equipment involved; and Determination of poten tial problems in AGE development and identifica tion of areas where future R+D funding could profitably be applied.
