Obtain performance data on CTR insulation used in the flex boot assembly<\/font><\/p>\n \u2018Qualify the performance of the nozzle CCP liners (except nose cap) that were manufactured using Enka rayon-based CCP at the standard carbonization temperature. <\/font><\/p>\n \u2018Obtain ultrasonic measurements for real-time non-destructive monitoring of the phenolic material in the AEC during motor operation. Obtain pressure, heat flux, temperature, and radiometer data from gage blocks on the aft exit cone.\u2019<\/p>\n The test is scheduled to take place at 3pm Eastern on Thursday, in Promontory, Utah, north of Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n This article will be updated after the test.
