The configuration of the reusable Space Shuttle solid rocket motors is described. In addition, their design evolution is reviewed, noting that the requirement that certain components be recovered, refurbished, and used on as many as 20 flights dictated a conservative design approach, the validity of which has been proven by successful testing of all development and qualification motors. Aspects discussed include ballistics, the motor case, nozzle, nozzle materials, and the ignition system. Finally, summary results of the first two of three qualification motor firings designated QM-1 and QM-2 are presented.
