DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND FLIGHT TEST OF THE VIPER DART ROBIN METEOROLOGICAL ROCKET SYSTEM.

Abstract

The Viper Dart Robin Meteorological Rocket System has been developed to obtain high altitude density and wind data by utilizing the Robin inflatable sphere as a sensing device. The system consists of a rocket motor, an unpowered dart, and the Robin inflatable sphere. Flight tests of the system provided density, temperature, pressure and wind data from an altitude of about 90 kilometers to an altitude of approximately 40 kilometers or less. (Author)
