This paper presents the results of investigations into the use of 56 nm nano iron(III) oxide as a combustion rate modifier in a solid heterogeneous rocket propellant (SHRP). A series of solid heterogeneous rocket propellants based on HTPB and ammonium perchlorate with different nano iron(III) oxide contents in the propellant composition were prepared and investigated. The ballistic parameters of the examined propellants were determined by combustion in a laboratory rocket motor (LRM). The ballistic properties were evaluated in the pressure range 5-10 MPa. It was found that the linear burning rate at 7 MPa was increased by 15% for 1% nano iron(III) oxide content in comparison to 0.2% content. Determination of the sensitivity to friction and impact, the calorific value, hardness and decomposition temperature of the derived propellants were also investigated.
