MANUFACTURING LARGE PRODUCTION QUANTITIES OF PRECISE SOLID PROPELLANT MIXTURES

Propulsion has assumed a key role in the complex missile and space development systems of today. Intensive exploration and rigorous development of propellants and propulsion technology have made solid propellants the propulsion system of choice for today’s space booster systems. The successful manufacture and static firing of four 156-inch diameter motors in the past year are significant milestones which have contributed greatly to this advancement.
