QUALIFICATION OF THRUSTER, CARTRIDGE ACTUATED, XM25.

Abstract

Product improvement of the M20 thruster was performed to prevent premature release of the thruster piston (resulting from shock and impact) and rotation of the piston with respect to the body. The redesigned thruster was designated 'Thruster, Cartridge Actuated, XM25.' The thruster contains the M127 cartridge used in the M20 thruster. The report describes the engineering test program conducted, the results obtained, and an analysis of the results, which shows that all applicable specifications and requirements have been met. Further, it is recommended that this item be standardized and that it replace the M20 thruster. (Author)
