Dordrecht, 29 February, 2004 - This Sunday afternoon we tested five single grain test motors of the new Kalinitrox. The first three (CMT0401-CMT0403) were hollow tube grains, while the last two (CMT0404-CMT0405) were Bates grains. These tests resulted in more motor tests, which were done at the NLD19 launch.
CMT0401 was a small one grain hollow tube test motor.CMT0402 was a small one grain hollow tube test motor.CMT0403 was a small one grain hollow tube test motor.CMT0404 was a small one grain Bates grain test motor.CMT0405 was a small one grain Bates grain test motor.
