Solids Team Updates:

-        Started work on zirconia ceramic nozzles to be used as potential aerospike nozzle material

-        Strand Burner had a semi-successful gas leak test, but problems include small leak rates and team coordination.

-        Composite motor case number one held 2900 PSI. The second motor case held 500 PSI.

-        Nozzles were redesigned to operate with 500 PSI chamber pressure

Future Work:

-        Plug up any leaks in strand burner

-        Find a way to ignite fuel samples inside strand burner.

-        Use a hydraulic press to create ceramic nozzles.

-        Research metal/composite bonding surface preparation for highest possible bonding strength.

-        Find place to mix fuel samples for strand burner and small scale solid rocket motors.
