5. Scientific-Technical Base for Creation of Detonation Solid Rocket Motors

Annotation: The results of developments and investigations are presented in the field of detonation solid rocket motors (DSRM) conducted jointly by the Institute of Technical Mechanics of the National Academy of Science of Ukraine and State Space Agency of Ukraine (ITM of NASU and SSAU, hereafter ITM) and Yuzhnoye State Design Office (hereafter Yuzhnoye SDO). The physical basis, design peculiarities of DSRM with continuous (not pulsed) operation mode, the test base characteristics, the results of development and firing tests of DSRM test models for some space rocketry items are described. The assessments are made of achieved and prospective levels of DSRM technical characteristics, their application areas and a number of problems requiring solution.
