Solid rocket booster test

This video shows how technicians at Orbital ATK prepare the solid rocket booster that will be tested March 11, 2015 in Promontory, Utah. The test will be one of two to qualify the motor for flight on the first flight of the Space Launch System in 20

I hate to say this, but I don't think you're going to launch in 2020

0:45 - who want's a big scoop of solid rocket booster ice cream ?

‘A fire has broken out at the rocket fuel plant don’t worry guys, no fire anymore, the fuel has launched itself so high into the sky that it is no longer a danger to anyone other than airplanes’

I used to work at ATK (I worked on the military armaments/ equipment side) and I always liked talking to the rocket people at trade shows. The history of that division, originally Thiokol which is now owned by Northrop Grumman, is pretty cool. Their development of mass production of solid fuel was a game changer not only for space programs but for defense with SLBMs/ ICBMs etc. Those SRB motors are amazing and the amount of force they generate is staggering. True workhorses and the epitome of brute force.

That igniter installation seems stressful.

I can't imagine how dangerous it is to slap one of those together, good stuff!

A highly unforeseen event happened when Ed inadvertently, and probably out of pure distraction, introduced the Innibitor into the igniter tube.

1:24 You can see the GoPro camera that's in another video that took a while to melt getting the shot of this actual test. GoPro films QM1 rocket smoke ring b4 melting.

So will these be in the firework stands in time for the 4th?

[vxzrt]

I like no one is smoking here, definitely here smoking kills

[jaacobb]

I used to look up to NASA. Then I watched as SpaceX steamrolled over them and I began to wonder... what was NASA doing with the billions of dollars of taxpayer dollars.

[CAT-owoh]

I didn't know those things were that massive!

[mbtax]

I work for DRDO INDIA, I am looking for job

[zZILLAa]

A lot of time, work and patience goes into not just the booster, but rocket too.

[foxtwo]

How many degrees in celcius that exhaust core.?

[Amdraz]

I wonder if the full length version is out on Betamax yet?

[Itz_SilverRBX]

that's why the earth is moving to Pluto
