A hybrid rocket test apparatus was constructed at the United States Naval Postgraduate School located at Monterey, California in November of 1964. It is located at the rocket facility of the Astro/Aeronautical Laboratories. It was initially designed and constructed under the auspices of the Department of Aeronautics in order to accomplish a basic research project. The resulting thesis is available and is entitled "A Parametric Burning-Rate Study of the Polystyrene-Oxygen Hybrid System (Confidential)." The discussion which follows is for the purpose of describing the basic design and operation of the test apparatus.
