NASA/SP-8039, Solid Rocket Motor Performance Analysis and Prediction, NASA SPACE VEHICLE DESIGN CRITERIA (Chemical Propulsion), NASA (Washington, DC, United States), May,1971, pp. 113, Format(s): PDF 6465k |
Current design practices are reviewed and assessed, and guidance is established for achieving greater consistency in design, reliability in the end product, and efficiency in the design effort. The total problem is discussed, and design elements involved in successful design are entified. Design criteria are described, and the rule, guide, limitation, or standard which must be imposed on each essential design element is given. Recommended practices are presented for satisfying each of the criteria.
