A Cradle to Grave Testbed: Formulating and Screening Solid Rocket Motor Insulation Using In-House Capabilities
Abstract
Since 2013, NASA and Jacobs contractors have worked together to develop the capability to mix rubber insulation for solid rocket motors. This capability was born out of the need to replace obsolete materials in the original rubber insulation used in full scale boosters. As a result of this effort, EM41 currently has the capability of mixing a variety of rubber insulations and characterizing them rheologically, mechanically and thermally completely in house and with minimal turnaround time.
