In view of the companion paper by Alain Davenas, “The Development of Modern Solid Propellants” in this issue, this paper focuses on hardware advancements. Space limitations prevent discussion of many interesting concepts tested but not fielded.

space booster to miniature multi-axis divert propulsion systems. The paper chronicles how these keys enabled incredible advancements ranging from the 260-in.

The paper addresses key events and technology in a substantive manner by defining the major concepts (e.g., Pyrogen igniter, large case-bonded grains, composite cases, Flexseal-TVC, extendible exit cone), new materials (e.g., carbon–carbon, Kevlar®) and the advances in tools (e.g., hazard tests, thermochemistry tables, and standard performance prediction packages) that were central to technological advancement. This approach demonstrates the vibrant and advancing nature of solid rocket technology to call it a history implies a recollection of something finished. solid rocket community are chronicled via discussion of ten enabling technologies and the people and organizations that produced them.
