FLIGHT TEST EVALUATION REPORT MISSILE 48D.

Abstract

Missile 48D was the twenty-second Series D Atlas to be flight tested at the Atlantic Missile Range. The test was terminated before liftoff was achieved because of a failure in the booster propulsion system. This failure resulted in complete loss of the missile due to explosion, 60.29 seconds after sustainer flight lockin. The purpose of the report is to present all reduced data and to summarize results achieved from the test. Missile and ground systems analyses are followed by all available reduced data, applicable photographs, system schematics and diagrams. (Author)
