That particular hydraulic power unit had flown twice before on the reusable solid-fuel rocket boosters, NASA officials said, and similar devices had flown up to four times before requiring replacement ...

... 23. NASA officials delayed the flight schedule after they discovered that a portion of the booster's nozzle assembly, which guides the vehicle, had fallen apart during testing, a month earlier. Engineers finished taking the booster motor apart and recovered all six missing pieces of the failed nozzle part. Known as ... swivel mechanism from the intense heat of the rocket gases. During the test firing, the booster's nozzle was deliberately moved to the maximum seven degrees-some three degrees beyond what ...

We not ... transposition and docking maneuver, which was essentially detaching the command and service module from the booster, going out fifty feet or so, turning around, coming back, docking with the docking module ... inside a canister at the end of the booster, and pulling it out. We pulled the docking module out. Then we departed the booster and it eventually reentered. We started making burns ...

... , we’ve successfully completed the first round of testing of the rocket’s engines and boosters, and all the major components for the first flight are now in production,” said Bill ... making real progress.” Critical design reviews for the individual SLS elements of the core stage, boosters and engines were completed successfully as part of this milestone. Also as part of the ... production for every element. NASA is preparing for a second qualification test for the SLS boosters, and structural test articles for the core and upper stages of the rocket are either ...

... . Karth (D.-Minn.), in Missiles and Rockets interview, advocated selling space boosters to foreign countries. Noting Scout and Thor boosters already were available to European countries, he said Atlas also should be ... 't necessarily need to stop at Atlas.
