Optimum Thrust Programming for a Sounding Rocket

open access: yesJournal of the American Rocket Society, 1951
The problem of optimal thrust programming for a sounding rocket of minimum starting weight to reach specified height with given final weight and propellant characteristics is first formulated as a problem in variational calculus. The general solution for

Sounding rocket developments in Spain

Acta Astronautica, 2006
Abstract This paper contemplates the efforts and developments in the field of sounding rockets carried out in Spain from the decade of the 1960s to the early 1990s when the use of such vehicles was abandoned worldwide. The initial sounding rocket planning within the National Space Research Programs around 1964 (when Spain joined ESRO) is presented.

Sounding rockets in Antarctica

6th Sounding Rocket Conference, 1982
Sounding rockets are versatile tools for scientists studying the atmospheric region which is located above balloon altitudes but below orbital satellite altitudes. Three NASA Nike-Tomahawk sounding rockets were launched from Siple Station in Antarctica in an upper atmosphere physics experiment in the austral summer of 1980-81.

Future Sounding Rockets

Journal of Jet Propulsion, 1957
Economic considerations, which have been of great i m portance in the past, will cont inue to be the underlying philosophy in the design of future sounding rockets. I n creased s u m m i t alt i tudes and reliability, ease of servicing, and mobil i ty of launch, as well as low un i t cost, are used as criteria to evolve a group of suitable sounding ...

Sound from Apollo Rockets in Space

Science, 1971
Low-frequency sound has been recorded on at least two occasions in Bermuda with the passage of Apollo rocket vehicles 188 kilometers aloft. The signals, which are reminiscent of N-waves from sonic booms, are (i) horizontally coherent; (ii) have extremely high (supersonic) trace velocities across the tripartite arrays; (iii) have nearly identical ...

Theory of Flight of the Sounding Rocket

Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1959
Abstract Solutions of the equations of motion of vertically ascending rockets (both in power flight and in free flight) are given in closed form. Atmospheric density is assumed to vary exponentially with altitude, and the variation of the drag coefficient of the rocket with Mach number is assumed to follow a definite pattern.

Flight Analysis of the Sounding Rocket

Journal of the Aeronautical Sciences, 1938
I ATTEMPTING to reach altitudes above those obtainable by sounding balloons, the rocket motor may be utilized to propel a suitable body. In this analysis a wingless shell of revolution will be considered in vertical flight. It was felt that, before entering into practical experimentation, it was desirable to have a preliminary performance analysis ...
