Design and Fabrication of Sounding Rocket Payloads

Abstract

An ongoing effort has been maintained from February 1971 through January 1972 providing engineering design, fabrication, test and field support services concerned with various sounding rocket payloads. A concise summary of the details relative to each payload is given in the form of a one page synopsis. Other sections of this report present information describing newly implemented monitor circuit designs and a simplified method of determining the magnitude of weights for despin mechanisms. A new design of a Marmon joint clamp and results of bend tests are discussed.
