ARNOLD AIR FORCE BASE, Tenn. -- Testing is complete on an Alliant Techsystems, Inc.'s (ATK) CASTOR® 30XL developmental rocket motor in AEDC's J-6 Large Rocket Motor Testing Facility. "AEDC is the only place to test this motor, due to their unique capability of being able to simulate upper atmospheric conditions," said Jeff Winter, ATK program manager for CASTOR® 30XL.

A Castor 30XL could act as the third stage. This rocket would weigh 354 tonnes. The height of the rocket would depend on the diameter of the motors. Stretched Castor 120 type motors, which would be 2.36 meters diameter, would result in a taller-than-Antares vehicle. A-ONE Antares

Castor 30XL was successfully test fired for the first time on March 28, 2013 at the U.S. Air Force's Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) in Tennessee. Orbital planned to establish a new Taurus II west coast launch site that would be ready in 2014. A Castor-30A second stage helps propel the first two Antares-110 rockets into orbit, then a higher-performing Castor-30B motor was used with the Antares-120 on the third and fourth flights in 2013.

The Castor 30XL upper stage for Antares 230+ is being optimized for the CRS-2 contract. The initial design of the Castor 30XL was conservatively built, and after gaining flight experience it was determined that the structural component of the motor case could be lightened. Third stage
