Abstract
The invention relates to a thermal erosion test device for testing thermal protection materials for use in a solid propellant thruster. The device comprises a support for holding a plate made of the thermal protection material for testing so that its faces a face of a block of solid propellant, the space between the plate and the face of the propellant block defining a combustion chamber of substantially rectangular shape, said chamber extending along said plate and opening out into a nozzle.
