>>перхлората аммония

>Но я упорно (не раз) слышал про НИТРАТ аммония, а не перxлорат, как окислитель в его топливе. Англоязычного источника не найдется? Не то чтобы не верю русскоязычному источнику о чужой ракете, но сомнваюсь что-то.
The propellant mixture in each SRB motor consists of an ammonium perchlorate (oxidizer, 69.6 percent by weight), aluminum (fuel, 16 percent), iron oxide (a catalyst, 0.4 percent), a polymer (a binder that holds the mixture together, 12.04 percent), and an epoxy curing agent (1.96 percent). The propellant is an 11-point star- shaped perforation in the forward motor segment and a double- truncated- cone perforation in each of the aft segments and aft closure. This configuration provides high thrust at ignition and then reduces the thrust by approximately a third 50 seconds after lift-off to prevent overstressing the vehicle during maximum dynamic pressure.
