Abstract:

This work is a portion of the effort to determine the combustion stability of the NASA Booster Separation Motor BSM while the motor is in the early development stage. The motor is being developed by the Chemical Systems Division of United Technology Corporation CSDUTC motor stability work is being carried out by CSDUTC, the Air Force Rocket Propulsion Laboratory RPL, and the Naval Weapons Center NWC. This report describes the T-burner testing and results obtained at NWC on the unstable combustion characteristics of the BSM propellant. Author
