REAL TIME METEOROLOGICAL SYSTEM FOR UNGUIDED ROCKET IMPACT PREDICTION,

Abstract

An automatic real time system is described which will be used for prelaunch impact prediction of unguided rockets at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. The ballistic equations utilized by the system are derived and explained. These consist of five equations of motion which describe the position and attitude of the rocket. The wind measuring and data transmission systems are described and the wind data reduction techniques are developed. (Author)
