Evaluating Solid Boost Demonstrator Motor Specific Impulse Performance

Abstract

The Integrated High Payoff Rocket Propulsion Technology (IHPRPT) Phase I Solid Boost Demonstrator (Boost Demo) motor was fabricated as the Phase I Demonstration of technologies from the IHPRPT program. This motor incorporates new technologies in an attempt to increase delivered performance compared with the IHPRPT Baseline motor. The IHPRPT Baseline motor and Boost Demo nozzle motor aft and nozzle contours are compared in Fig. 1.
