This technical standard establishes baseline requirements for the structural design, and testing of SRMs. The requirements are limited to cases, solid propellants, insulators, liners, joint seals, ablatives and non-ablatives. These requirements may apply and be tailored to individual programs or projects with the agreement of the appropriate contractual and technical authorities in accordance with NPR 7120.5, NASA Space Flight Program and Project Management Requirements.

Applicability

This Standard is to be used to aid in the development of SRM design and test criteria. It meets the intent of higher-level NASA standards such as NASA-STD-5001.

This standard applies the following:
