One solid-propellant rocket motor was successfully fired at an average simulated altitude of about 103,000 ft while spinning at 46 rpm. The general program objectives were to verify compliance of motor performance with the manufacturer's specifications. Specific primary objectives were to determine vacuum ballistic performance of the motor after prefire vibration conditioning and temperature conditioning at 40F, altitude ignition characteristics, motor structural integrity, and motor temperature-time history during and after motor operation. Additional objectives were to measure the lateral (monaxial) thrust component during motor operation and to measure radiation heat flux in the vicinity of the nozzle exit plane. (Author)
