Rocket Engine Accident - Engine Cores

Engine Cores

Rocket engines showing the polyurethane + ammonium perchlorate fuel & cores (about ½ lb. of fuel in each engine). The casings are ¾” pipe sections. I think Luke made the cores by inserting valves from an old Chevy engine into the fuel after it was packed into the casings.
