NOTES ON TEST SLED MEASUREMENTS AT THE HOLLOMAN TRACK

Abstract

The quality of seeing at the Holloman track, being basic to all optical measurement methods to be described, has been measured. An analysis of possible optical systems for yaw, pitch, and roll measurement is reported. Based on this analysis, one optical measurement method is proposed for each attitude component. TheANALYSIS OF SPACE TIME DATA FOR TEST PACKAGE VIBRATIONS IS DISCUSSED IN TERMS OF THE SPACING OF VELOCITY MEASURING POINTS ALONG THE TRACK. A method is proposed to measure test package velocity rather than sled velocity relative to the track. (Author)
