re: Athena IIcS, the closest motor in BDB is the Castor IV radials. The way they worked IRL is they don't separate - instead they and the Castor 120 are tuned to have identical burn times. Basically it acts less like a Stage 0 or strap-on boosters, and more like a direct augmentation of the Castor-120

SII INT 19 Algol SRB is close enough to Minuteman.
