Design, Development and Flight Test of the Super Loki Stable Booster Rocket Systems
Abstract
The Super Loki stable booster rocket systems have been developed to obtain high altitude temperature, density, and wind measurements by means of small inexpensive rocket systems which have post-burnout stable booster trajectories. These systems can be used at ranges where booster wind drift is a safety problem. The expended rocket booster impacts at a range of about 15,000 feet or 2.46 nautical miles from the launch site. These systems have been developed to replace the Super Loki PWN-10A, PWN-10B, and PWN-12A at launch sites requiring either transponder or falling sphere payloads and stable booster impacts.
