The ASRM design improves safety through the elimination of 229 potential leak paths, thereby eliminating a total of 312 causes of failure. The ASRM will also allow an additional 12,000 lb of payload to be carried by the Shuttle Orbiter. Construction of the ASRM will promote competition through the use of a government owned/contractor operated manufacturing facility. Continuous-mix propellant grain manufacture will be used to enhance safety, quality, and efficiency.Read More
