Show Rocket Society Charts S.L. Meet Minuteman and other solid propellant rockets will be the subject of the American Rocket Society's first meeting of 1961, the ARS Solid Propellant Rocket Conference. To be held February 1-3 in the Hotel Utah in Salt Lake City, the meeting has been jointly organized by the ARS Solid Rockets and Propellants and Combustion technical committees. commit-tees. This will be the second meeting meet-ing devoted to solid rocket technology tech-nology organized by the Rocket Society. In January, 1960, ARS held a solid rocket research conference con-ference at Princeton University. The theme of this year's meeting meet-ing will shift primarily from the critical research topics toward the engineering and technological technologi-cal problems associated with solid propellant rockets. One of the highlights will be the two classified sessions devoted de-voted to a study of the Minute-man Minute-man propulsion system. Papers in the two sessions will deal with the propulsion in each of the three stages of the missile and its assembly and testing. A classified clas-sified display will illustrate the talks. All other sessions will be unclassified un-classified and will cover some of the diverse scientific and engineering-disciplines required for an adequate understanding o solid propellant rockets. Included Includ-ed will be sessions dealing with structural problems, propellant properties, manufacturing methods, meth-ods, nozzles and gas dynamics. Materials, rockets and grain design problems and motor de sign and operation will also be covered in the program. Two luncheons and a banquet are also planned and the speakers speak-ers for these functions will soon be announced. |
