PRELIMINARY WIND STUDIES FOR LOKI

Abstract

The effects of arbitrary and observed wind distributions on the Loki trajectory were examined through use of an influence function. The results are to be used as a basis for a field wind-measuring technique to gather and transmit wind information to the correction computer. The feasibility of a correction method based on a linear relationship between burnout deviation and wind at one level was indicated by a study of burnout deviations computed from an experimentally obtained time series of wind profiles.
