Two Space Shuttle solid propellant rocket motor (SRM) nozzles have been tested, both successfully. This paper summarizes the results of these tests. The SRM nozzle was designed and fabricated at the Wasatch Division of Thiokol Corporation. It is over 13 ft. long, has a 54.43 in. initial throat diameter, and weighs over 11 tons. A flex bearing is employed for thrust vector control. Design and acceptance testing summaries are presented, along with the post-test results, erosion and actuation data.
