TERMINATION FLUIDS FOR SOLID STOP-START PROPELLANT ROCKET MOTORS

摘要

Thrust termination fluids for extinguishing a solid propellant rocket motor have dissolved therein a solid oxidizing agent which is deposited on the surface of the extinguished propellant to facilitate reignition of the motor. Suitable termination fluids include; water, alcohols, water-ammonia solutions and hydrazine-ammonia solutions and water-alcohol solutions. Suitable oxidizers to be dissolved in the fluids include nitrate and perchlorate oxidizing salts.
