CHARACTERISTICS OF VERTICAL PROBE ROCKET VEHICLES,

Abstract

This report is an up-dated compilation of the available performance data and information regarding payloads, capabilities, dimensions, weights, and launcher requirements for vertical probe rocket vehicles originally published unber APGC-TR-61-43, dated August 1961. A listing of manufacturers of vehicles and rocket motors, information on launchers, and a method for estimating the cost of the vehicles are also provided. This information is presented for use in the planning phase of a program to enable a potential user of vertical probe rocket vehicles to determine the vehicles available, to estimate the funds required to obtain the vehicles, and to determine the sources of procurement for the vehicles. In addition, this report is intended to acquaint interested agencies with the overall capabilities of vertical probe rocket vehicles where new approaches or concepts of testing are required.
