(e) High-pressure (exceeding 10.6 MPa) thrust chambers and nozzles therefor;

(f) Propellant storage systems using the principle of capillary containment or positive expulsion (i.e., with flexible bladders).

(9A007) Solid rocket propulsion systems with any of the following,[^f00074]:

(1) Total impulse capacity exceeding 1.1 MNs; or

(2) Specific impulse of 2.4 kNs/kg or more when the nozzle flow is expanded to ambient sea level conditions for an adjusted chamber pressure of 7 MPa;

(1) Stage mass fractions exceeding 88%; and

(2) Propellant solid loadings exceeding 86%;

(d) Insulation and propellant bonding systems using direct-bonded motor designs to provide a strong mechanical bond or a barrier to chemical migration between the solid propellant and case insulation material.

Note: For the purposes of head d. of this entry, a strong mechanical bond means bond strength equal to or more than propellant strength.
