This document sets standards for the characterization of solid propellant rocket motor propulsion systems. The characteristics are presented as a check list for ten different component parts including the overall propulsion system, analysis, the rocket motor case, nozzle, propellant, liner, insulation, igniter, ingredients, and energy management. The characterization of a propulsion system is invariably limited by available time, manpower, funding, and other resources. However, the enclosed listing attempts to identify the characteristics, properties, required tests, and information which would make up the data base for a fully characterized solid rocket propulsion system. The list recognizes that different degrees of characterization would be required at different stages in the evolution of a propulsion system. The characterizations for an initial effort (as in the research or concept phase) might be distinctly different from the characterization done late in the evolution and just prior to production.
