LGM-30B, Stage II Dissected Motor Test Report.
Abstract
The purpose of this program is to continue surveillance testing of Minuteman Reentry System Launch Program Stage II propellant. This surveillance will elucidate the aging characteristics of the propellant and, using statistical trends derived from laboratory testing, will help to establish the service life expectancy of similar motors in the inventory. Data analysis in this report represents three test periods on dissected motor S/N 0022687. Two of the tests were performed prior to a change in the specimen conditioning requirements. A Scheffe' test was used to determine where significant differences in test data occurred. Regressions of individual motor trends for many parameters are included in this report. There are statistically significant trend lines when compared to a slope of zero except for stress relaxation modulus. The three points used represent two populations since a change in humidity conditioning occurred in 1985 testing. Therefore, regressions are for visual reference only. Multi-motor plots are included to show the relationship of motor S/N 0022687 to the other RSLP motors. The data for all Stage II dissected motors tested at 00-ALC are shown on these plots. Keywords: Dissected Motor Solid Propellant.
