Altitude Starting Tests of a Small Solid Propellant Rocket

From Summary: "Four solid-propellant rocket engines of nominal 500-pound thrust were tested for starting characteristics at pressure altitudes ranging from 89,000 to 111,000 feet and at a temperature of -75^o F. Chamber pressures were measured on two of the runs. Average chamber pressures in these two runs were lower than expected, although action times agreed with the expected values."
