GEM Solid Rocket Motor Manufacturing

Measuring more than 72-feet-long, the GEM 63XL is the longest monolithic, single-cast solid rocket motor ever produced - a designation previously held by the GEM 63.
As the newest members of Northrop Grumman’s Graphite Epoxy Motor (GEM) family of motors, both boosters build on the company’s extensive history of successful GEM 40, GEM 46 and GEM 60 motors and leverage the company’s industry-leading expertise in composite large solid rocket motor development and manufacturing to provide customers with a cost-effective, reliable, flexible and on-time system.

Very cool to see the finocyl grain geometry at 2:31

[@vahpr]

I wondered whether the finocyl was at the front, back or the whole motor. Looked like maybe the nozzle end. I was hoping they'd show the propellant mandrel removal....

When will environmentally friendly solid fuel boosters be developed?

[@mustafakarabas6751]

What is the insulation material that covers the rocket's nozzle? does anyone knows.

China only interested in Water Missiles!

I don't think Cartoon Network has spies.

Solid rocket motors are not a classified tech

[@fahadalharbi960]

So, not very easy... This why it is very expensive..

[@mathewferstl7042]

$4 million per GEM 63 XL

There’s a reason why “rocket science” has become synonymous with “something that is very complicated and difficult”.
