Solid Propellant Aging Studies.

Abstract

Since 1972 AFRPL has been building up an In-House capability for aging solid propellants. By November of 1974 the facilities had expanded to the point where full scale aging of propellants could be performed. A three-year plan for the accelerated aging of 17 different solid propellant formulations was prepared. The aging conditions include elevated temperatures and humidity. Data has been compiled but no analysis of this data has as yet been accomplished. (Author)
