Minuteman Stage I Motor Reliability Improvement Program Surveillance.

摘要

In this report, Thiokol's data with the data from four years of testing in MANCP's laboratory were combined and regression analyses made by MANCP's statistical group. The purpose of testing is to provide early warning if any serious degradation trends occur in the components being evaluated. The regressions show little or no change in trends from those previously established and are in good agreement with TWR-7300 data. Therefore, based on this analysis the service life of these components may be extended for at least two years beyond the last data point. This constitutes final reporting on the laboratory testing program on component materials from the RIP Surveillance Program.
