The burning pressure - time diagrams were predicted and measured for spinning solid propellant rocket engines. The propellant was in the internal burning star configuration. To predict pressure histories, the acceleration induced and orientation dependent burning rate augmentation data of a solid propellant from slab motor tests were entered into a grain regression program. Composite propellants were tested at spin rates of 0 to 870 rpm. Additional tests of spinning solid propellant rocket engines were conducted in an altitude simulation facility. The measured time histories were compared with the data obtained in the test situation. (Author)
