QUALIFICATION TESTS OF THIOKOL CHEMICAL CORPORATION TE-M-364-3 SOLID- PROPELLANT ROCKET MOTORS TESTED IN THE SPIN AND NO-SPIN MODE AT SIMULATED ALTITUDE CONDITIONS. PART 2. FINAL PHASE

Abstract

A qualification test program consisting of six Thiokol Chemical Corporation TE-M-364-3 solid-propellant rocket motors was conducted at near vacuum conditions to determine altitude ballistic performance, nonaxial thrust of the spinning motors, tailoff characteristics, temperature-time history during and after motor operation, and component structural integrity. The initial phase of the program consisted of firing one motor in the spin mode and one motor in the no-spin mode. The final phase consisted of firing three motors in the spin mode and one motor in the no-spin mode.
