The ground tests of the dual pulse solid rocket motors(SRM) were performed to prove the performance of the developed dual pulse solid rocket motors. To achieve dual pulse, pulse seperation device(PSD) and independent ignition systems were installed between the 1st pulse motor and the 2nd pulse motor. The three major development goals are as follow. First, the total impulse of the dual pulse SRM must be over 90% of the single SRM which has same envelopment and weight. Second, the ignition of the 2nd pulse motor can be started at any time between 0 and 60 seconds after termination of the 1st pulse motor. Last, the rupture disk of PSD must not be broken at the 1st pulse pressure, but be broken at below 30% of the 2nd pulse operating pressure. The results of the ground tests satisfied the development goals.
