Function and Safety Tests of NOS-365 Monopropellant

Abstract

Several non-standard function and safety tests were performed on NOS-365 monopropellant. The function tests indicated that the liquid was detonable but it may be safely used as a gun propellant if the gun chamber is shorter than a critical run-up distance. Spill tests showed vigorous fume-off when the liquid came in contact with rusty iron or desert soil warmed by the sun.
