This report documents findings on the reliability of Solid Propellant Rocket Motors after long term storage. From the data analyzed, aging is indicated for these motors. The aging mechanisms and trends are given together with a reliability prediction model. This information is part of a research program being conducted by the U. S. Army Missile Command, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. The objective of this program is the development of Non-operating (storage) reliability prediction and assurance techniques for missile materiel.
