Suppose you were assigned to design a long-burn, low-thrust solid
propellant motor with these characteristics, what would be your grain
configuration, case type, and general formulation:

Burn time 10-min (600 sec)
Nominal thrust 40-lbf at sea level
Operational use <10,000-ft elevation

Would your grain design keep thrust within +/- 10% of nominal?
