Description

NASA/MSFC has a requirement for engineering support and manufacturing services for production, processing, assembly, and disassembly of a 24″ Solid Rocket Test Motor (SRTM) Test Article. This test article will be used to provide representative sub-scale performance demonstration of nozzle line materials.
