A Study of Sounding Rocket Systems

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0287541 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Eighteen existing sounding rocket systems are reported with a short description, a sketch with overall dimensions, weight and maximum acceleration data, and two performance charts - apogee altitude versus payload for various launch angles, and altitude versus time for various payloads at a launch angle of 88 degrees. The aim is to aid in the preliminary selection of a vehicle for a specific payload mission.
