Minuteman Stage I Motor Reliability Improvement Program Surveillance

Abstract

This report contains data and test results from the third time testing of the Minuteman Stage I Reliability Improvement Program (RIP) Surveillance. Thiokol (see TWR-7300) had tested and reported on this program for eight years up through 30 June 1973. The responsibility was then turned over to the Propellant Laboratory (MANCP) at OO-ALC. In the previous report, data was compared with Thiokol data and was presented in the same format as in Thiokol's final report. In this report, Thiokol's data with the data from three years of testing in MANCP's laboratory were combined and regression analysis was made by MANCP's statistical group. the purpose of testing is to provide early warning if any serious degradation trends occur in the components being evaluated.
