Polaris Propulsion Development Burst Test of a First-Stage Polaris A3 Filament-Wound Configuration-X Chamber.

Abstract

A first stage POlARIS A3 filament wound configuration X chamber was hydrostatically tested to burst to determine the structural strength of the unit and the mode of failure. The test was terminated after 25 sec of a 1-min hold period at 940 psig when the aft head ruptured. The rupture originated at the aft skirt-to-cylinder juncture.
