Qualification Test of the Thiokol TE-M-364-19 Solid-Propellant Rocket Motor (S/N 19006)

Abstract

One Thiokol Chemical Corporation TE-M-364-19 solid-propellant rocket motor was fired while spinning at 60 rpm about its axial centerline. The motor was ignited at a simulated altitude of 122,000 ft, following temperature conditioning at 15 + or - 5 F for a minimum of 44 hr. The program objectives of determining vacuum ballistic performance, altitude ignition characteristics, motor temperature-time history, the lateral (nonaxial) thrust vector, and structural integrity of the motor components are presented and discussed.
