Abstract
An improved rocket motor and a method for its manufacture are characterized by the provision of a thermoplastic elastomer binder in the outer casing, the insulation layer, and the propellant. When the motor is heated to the melting point of the binder, the bondlines between the propellant and insulation and between the insulation and casing are simultaneously fused to form a unitary motor structure.
