R. Meyer J. Köhler A. Homburg Explosives

Minol
Minol
A pourable mixture of TNT, ammonium nitrate, and aluminum powder
(40:40:20).
casting density: 1.70 g/cm3 detonation velocity at casting density,
confined: 6000 m/s =
19700 ft/s
Misfire
Versager; raté
An explosive material charge that fails to detonate after an attempt of
initiation.
Missile
Raketenflugkörper; roquette
The integral functional unit consisting of initiator and igniter devices,
rocket engine, guiding equipment, and useful payload. W Rocket Motor.
Missiles are, in principle, guided rocket projectiles.
Mock Explosives*)
Sprengstoff-Attrappen; factices
Mocks are nonexplosive simulants for high explosives. They duplicate
the properties for test purposes without hazard. The required properties
to copy need different mocks, e.g., for physical properties, for
density, or for thermal behavior.
Monergol
216
In rocket technology the name for liquid or gelled homogeneous
propellants, which require no other reaction partner for the formation
of gaseous reaction products. Gas formation can be due to catalytic
decomposition (on concentrated H2O2 or anhydrous hydrazine) or to
an intramolecular reaction, e.g., by decomposition of propylnitrate
generating N2, CO, CO2, NO, etc., W Liquid Propellants.
