Solid Rocket Booster

This single Solid Rocket Booster (SRB), is built from both authentic and replica parts. The forward skirt, frustum and nose cap are fiberglass and sheet metal, as are the aft skirt and nozzle. The forward and aft segments are made of steel, like the type that launched the space shuttle. The center two segments are filament-wound cases of the type that was once planned for use at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
