Abstract:

This report describes the calibration of a platform vertical 6- component Rocketdyne Rocket Motor Thrust Stand located on Pad 2, Air Force Rocket Propulsion Laboratory, Solid Test Area 1-32. Six-component thrust mmeasurement is possible, but presently the stand is used to measure only the axial component of thrust.
