In the report an overview of the July-December 1987 period of the Solid Fuel Combustion Chamber (SFCC) project (1) is given. In chapters 2-5 an update is presented on project support and project personnel. Chapters 6 and 7 present an overview of the research activities carried out in the period. The research activities included, among others, the modelling of the fuel massflow as a function of the (convective) heat flux, initial experiments with HTPB fuels and the evaluation of the Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA) technique for local flow velocity measurements (Laser Doppler Velocimetry, LDV). Many valuable contacts are reported in chapters 8 - 10. Of these, it is especially mentioned that PMLTNO has joined a study group to evaluate the applicability of ramjet propulsion. Finally, the report also includes a general assessment of the program status (chapter 10), an outline of the next half year period (chapter 11) and an update of the phase 2 timetable (chapter 12).
