Closed form solutions of the simplified equation of motion of a rocket sled are used to define specific characteristics governing the applicability of individual solid rocket motors for track test propulsion purposes. Some of the interactions between motor performance parameters, sled design considerations, and track length constraints are reviewed. Criteria are developed for determining applicability ranges and performance limits of various rocket units, and to arrive at a basis for comparing the relative cost effectiveness of competing motors for rocket sled operation.
