A program for the preliminary prediction of performance and mass of solid propellant rockets is presented. The performance predictions are based on the modified NASA-programs CEC71,CEA86 for calculation of complex chemical equilibrium compositions.

Besides the calculation of various solid rocket motors, the design of a two stage, DSL-air- launched system carrying about more than 4300 kg payload to the International Space Station is described.
