Successful development of vehicles with high acceleration requires determination of effects of acceleration on solid-propellant burning rate and grain ballistic history; paper describes tests of case-bonded, cylindrically ported, aluminized composite propellant grains under accelerations as high as 200 g; data for centrifuge-mounted motors containing 3 and 100 lb of propellant burning at 1000-2000 psia are evaluated statistically; no deleterious effects on combustion process were noted for either lateral or longitudinal accelerations.
