Hercules solid rocket engine. 516 kN. Talos motor fitted with a conical adapter for mating to the second stage.
The Talos motor was fitted with a conical adapter for mating to the second stage. Differential drag forces caused separation. Four fins were arranged at the aft end in a cruciform configuration and drove the vehicle to approximately one revolution per second burnout roll rate.
Gross mass: 1,500 kg (3,300 lb).
Height: 3.40 m (11.10 ft).
Diameter: 0.76 m (2.49 ft).
Thrust: 516.00 kN (116,001 lbf).
Burn time: 5.20 s.

Solid Solid propellants have the fuel and oxidiser embedded in a rubbery matrix. They were developed to a high degree of perfection in the United States in the 1950's and 1960's. In Russia, development was slower, due to a lack of technical leadership in the area and rail handling problems. Solid propellants have the fuel and oxidiser embedded in a rubbery matrix.
