Altitude Simulation by Test Facility 1-42B During Repeated Start-Stop Operation of a Rocket Motor

Abstract

One rocket motor assembly was successfully fired and extinguished repeatedly in the low-pressure environment of Vertical Test Cell 1-42B at pressure altitudes of 98,000 to 105,000 feet which demonstrated the capability of this design of propulsion system to start-stop on command in the space environment.
