Ignition characteristics of AP-based composite solid propellants that contained either HMX or RDX, were investigated using a CO2 laser at relatively low heat flux and subatmospheric pressures, in order to simulate space environments and also simplify our understanding of the nature of ignition pheno

The ignition of composite solid propellants by CO 2 laser irradiation at low pressures has been investigated experimentally. Three ignition modes are found at subalJnospheric pressures: self-sustaining ignition, non-self-sustaining ignition, and pulsating ignition. Here, the self-sustaining and the
## Abstract Ignition behavior of solid propellant composed of 25 wt% polybutadiene and 75% ammonium perchlorate under subatmospheric conditions has been studied using a carbon dioxide laser whose radiant flux is uniformalized. Data of ignition time in Ar, N~2~ and He atmospheres, and critical radia
