alumimun powder, iron-carbonyl powder, l e d powder, and potassium perchlorate.

The main i g n i t e r charge, which consists of 3000 gm of AN-14046 Alcol m e r , provides sufficient energy t o i g n i t e the Pocket motor under the environmental conditions that msy be encountered during normal motor operation.

Developnental Changes I n the determination of i g n i t e r final-design c r i t e r i a ,

the following important changes were made: 7.2.2.1 I g n i t e r Main Charge Formulation

AN-14046 Alcol powder rather than AGC-32014 Alcol

powder w a s selected for t h e main i g n i t e r charge because of the superior reproducible burning characteristics. 7.2.2.2 Igniter Main Chasge Weight
A main charge weight of 3SeO gm wets selected following

t h e review of the performance of igniters with 1950 and 3OOO-gm charge weights.

The heavier charge weight provided the necessary heat energy -required t o ignite

D E S W C T UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND TEST RESULTS

go]- s
A destruct unit f o r the Algol I D rocket motor was developed and

s a t i s f a c t o r i l y tested during the program,

The destruct u n i t consists of two

linear shaped charges fastened t o the motor chamber exterior 180 degrees apart, When t h e u n i t i s actuated on an unpressurized chamber, two cuts, each approximately
LOO i n , i n length, are produced.

During one t e s t , the destruct u n i t was actuated

on a pressurized chamber and the e n t i r e chamber was destructed.

A test program was conducted i n four phases:
(1) the destruct system

cut witness plates t o demonstrate the capability of t h e l i n e a r shaped charge; (2) a t e s t f i r i n g of 14 destruct u n i t s a d a harness assembly was conducted t o simulate the destruct system on a seven-motor configuration L i t t l e Joe E1 vehicle;

(3) a pressurized chamber

wets destructed; and (4) the chamber of motor G - 7 w a s

cut by a destruct unit following the f i r i n g of the motor under sea-level conditions.

Three concepts were considered i n the development of the destruct

unit.

configuration w a s designed t o produce two p a r a l l e l cuts approximately 10 . t ' f

long.

The second concefl., i n i t i a t e d at the direction of NASA, resulted i n the design of

a hoop-shapd charge which was attached t o the forward head of the chamber.

The

hoop-shaped charge w a s t o be capable of separating the forward dome from the chamber, Fabrication of t h i s destruct system was started but w a s discontinued

a t the direction of NASA because the chamber heads might damage the L i t t l e Joe I1 vehicle payload when the heads became separated fromthe chambers.

In the t h i r d

concept, i n i t i a t e d at the direction of NASA, two single-linear shaped charges are used. Each chaxge is 8 f t i n length and mounted 180 degrees apart on the These charges produce longitudinal perforations at
