624A SOLID-PROPELLANT MOTOR IMPACT TEST
Abstract
This report documents a test conducted on the Supersonic Naval Ordnance Research Track (SNORT), at the request of the Space Systems Division of the Air Force Systems Command, to obtain information relating to the hazard potential of the 624A solid-propellant motor. (Two multi segment 624A motors are to be used as the zero stage of the Titan III C vehicle.) The test item, a preprototype, heavy case, static firing version of the 624A motor equipped with a single center segment, was impacted at a velocity of 667 fps into a concrete, steel, and earth target placed 100 ft from the muzzle end of the track. The test approximated a fall-back condition from an altitude in excess of 10,000 ft with impact on a hard surface. Test setup, procedures, results, and conclusions are described.
