The applicability of solid-propellant rockets into a regime of high-performance long-burning tasks beyond the capability of existing motors is discussed. Successful static test firings have demonstrated the feasibility of: (1) utilizing fully case- bonded end-burning propellant charges without mechanical stress relief; (2) using an all-carbon radiative nozzle markedly lighter than the flight-weight ablative nozzle it replaces, and (3) producing low spacecraft acceleration rates during the thrust transient through a controlled-flow igniter that promotes operation below the previous combustion limit.
