Overall physical size similar to the Deacon Anticipated characteristics about as follows: 158 lbs. loaded weight 40 lbs. inert weight 22,500 lb. sec, Total impulse 3.07 sec. Burning time 8300 lb. thrust 143 sec (overall specific impulse) 190 sec ((I sub SP), fuel only) 30 - 35% greater impulses than Deacon. Carbon insert for motor throat. After end of nozzle threaded externally for fin attachment. N.A.C.A believe relatively little gamble in this proposal. Thiokol makes Nike booster (?)
