The aim of this study is to obtain characteristics of ammonium perchlorate particle that used in Rocket Technology Center (LAPAN). Characterization begin from the determination of particle size distribution with Particle Size Analyzer. The SEM is used to obtain information about the morphology of AP, furthermore, the results are reprocessed using ImageJ software to analyze the shape of AP particle, and the Surface area was obtained by using BET. Characteristic of AP such as particle size, shape, and surface area are important parameters because those are directly related to propellant combustion energy. Ammonium perchlorate was procured from China, South Korea, and Indonesia with a particle size of 200µm From this study, the particle size of APC200, APH200 and API200 was obtained, which are 265 µm, 236 µm, and 242 µm, with particle shape aggregate value of 0,68, 0,38 and 0,33, roundness of 0,57, 0,79,0,63, and surface area of 1,104 m2/g, 5,561 m2/g, and 2,972 m2/g.

Solid composite propellants are extensively used for propulsion of rockets, missiles and space applications. The composite propellant is a polymeric matrix in which the oxidizer and fuel particles are embedded in a polymeric binder. Different composite propellant mixtures have been prepared using ammonium-perchlorate (ratio 70:30) as oxidant and mixture of aluminium powder (ratio 50:50) as metal component. In the present work, RDX (Cyclotrimethylene trinitramine) has been used in successive increments replacing AP (Ammonium Perchlorate) in number of batches by varying the percentage of solid loading, and studied their different properties such as viscosity build-up, mechanical and ballistic properties.
