Significant design changes made to major components of the NASA Space Shuttle SRM are summarized. The extent of changes made in the nozzle-to-case joint to better protect the joint O-ring seals is indicated schematically as are changes made to the motor nozzle. It is noted that the use of subscale, full scale/short duration burn hardware tests to provide data for structural and thermal analytical models was necessary.
