A rocket motor that has a solid propellant with closure means that is secd to the rocket motor housing by heat responsive means that melts before the solid propellant ignites to prevent the rocket motor from becoming propulsive when subjected to excessive external heat sufficient to cause the rocket propellant to ignite.

Pressure relief device for solid propellant motors subjected to high

A rocket for firing from a tube having open ends wherein a rocket motor sed from a projectile is connected to the projectile by a frangible, ported collar, the front of the motor having a vent for allowing combustion products to flow into the tube between the motor and the projectile. The pressure of the combustion products between the motor and the projectile will break the collar to allow the projectile to exit from the tube at a high velocity.

Vented in-tube burning rocket

A remotely controlled apparatus for extracting samples of solid hazardous terial from such items as solid propellant rocket motors. The device is pneumatically operated from a high pressure gas supply and includes a cutter assembly which extracts the sample. The cutter assembly is movable to different positions for successive sampling operations.
