Operation and Service Manual for Rocket Pressure Test Kit 52E400002.

Abstract

The Rocket Pressure Test Kit is used to pressure test the Gemini B Spacecraft retrograde rockets prior to, or after installation into the spacecraft and periodically during storage. The pressure test is performed to verify the integrity of the rocket seals assuring that no degradation (aging) of the solid propellant has occurred. The purpose of the Space Technical Data report (STDR) is to familiarize personnel with the operation and service instructions for the test kit. The STDR presents a description of the test kit, the function of its controls and indicators and service instructions for preventive maintenance. (Author)
