Abstract
Nitrogen oxide gases which were produced by spontaneous reaction of nitrocellulose(NC) in the single base propellant accelerate the decomposition of propellant, and result in the reduction of shelf life. The amount of nitrogen oxide was reduced by the addition of 0.3wt% $CaCO_3$ to conventional stabilizer(DPA) and down of the solvent leaching temperature from $64^{\circ}C$ to $56^{\circ}C$, which extended the shelf life of the single base propellant as much as twice compare with commercial propellant. The perforation diameter increase of propellant from 0.64mm to 0.77mm could compensate for the drop of burning rate which was caused the addition of $CaCO_3$.
