Abstract
The combustion pressure and thrust of aft-igniter were measured to investigate the characteristics of ignition charge. Granule and pellet shape ignition charge of $BKNO_3$ and MTV(Magnesium-Teflon-Viton) were used for igniters. Ignitions with granule charges show abrupt increases of combustion pressure and thrust compared to those of pellet charge. $BKNO_3$ igniter shows higher combustion pressure than MTV igniter due to higher combstion rate. Mg particle size affects the combustion pressure of MTV igniter.
