PROJECT SEE-THRU FLAME INTERFERENCE MEASUREMENTS, TITAN IIIC LAUNCH TEST 8275/2250
Abstract
A final report of flame attenuation, as well as flame noise measurements made at AFETR on Titan IIIC, Test 8275/2250, April 28, 1967 is presented. Measurements were made at X-band(9100 MHz), C-band(5000MHz), S- band(2222 MHz), and P-band(220-250 MHz), frequencies at sites especially set up to yield a range of aspect angles, particularly at the low aspect angles of interest to AFWTR flights. Amplitude flame-noise measurements are reported for the first time for the Titan IIIC zero-stage. Power spectral density and probability distribution characteristics are presented. Also contained in this report are results of alkali-metal impurity measurements on the zero-stage, on the separation-rocket and the stage-I propellants; data on the effect of the exhaust flame on pulse transmission; and a plasma model of the zero-stage rocket exhaust from which predictions of rocket exhaust attenuation as a function of aspect angle and frequency can be made.
