Hi Anthony,
This was a composite HTPB/AP propellant? Can you tell me any details
(however vague) on the formulation? I ask because I work with cast-cure
PBX explosives, which of course generally have very similar compositions to
cast composite rocket propellants, and I am forever being asked ( by
customers, by our salesmen and programme managers) about upper and lower
storage temps, storage lives, etc. etc.! And any evidence, even anecdotal,
is always interesting (to me at least!).
Thanks,
James

Hi Bill
They conducted their 10th anniversary flight with a surplus 100K Lb./sec.
booster we had built. I was not involved with the launch. The motor had
been in non-climate controlled storage in NM for 8 years so it had be
cycled from below freezing to over 100 F all that time. It was a good way
to confirm the published storage and age limits of the system. The booster
was paid for anyway and had all the required approvals but most
importantly, the crew were well qualified on the system and operations. It
went to space without a glitch.
Best.

LOL Anyone who makes commercial motor gets asked to donate (and refuses
the 2nd time).
Ever notice how you don't see the same folks launching rockets in more
than one show? The production companies making rocket shows only survive
because folks are willing to pay their own way to be a TV star.
IMHO - Being involved in a rocket TV show is like biting into a bad apple
and being forced to finish it.
If your smart, will NEVER do that again.

My condolences on your experience Ken. If it is any consolation, you are
not alone?
Behind the scenes history of CSXT activities are so ludicrous; the trail
of injured souls would read like a bad fiction novel, if anyone dared
publish it. In spirit of "If you don't have anything nice to say, come
sit next to me." Let's met at the bar sometime soon? :-)
+1 Most all TV shows "gives amateurs an undeserved bad reputation".
Sigh.....
