Altitude Test of the Aerojet Modified Heavyweight Full-Scale Controllable Solid-Propellant Rocket Motor (CSRM-4)

Abstract

The Aerojet Solid Propulsion Company Modified, full-scale, heavyweight, Controllable Solid Rocket Motor (CSRM-4), was successfully test fired at simulated pressure altitude in Rocket Development Test Cell J-5 of the Engine Test Facility, AEDC, on June 25, 1973. The primary test objective, propellant extinguishment, was demonstrated on five repetitive programmed firings; the five 5-sec duration firings were separated by 60-sec extinguished coast periods. Motor chamber pressure at propellant extinguishment was 36, 26, 32, 30, and 26 psia for the five firings. Postfire condition of the motor was satisfactory.
