Control Circuits for a Rocket Payload Neutralization Experiment and Other Topics

Abstract

A Ute Tomahawk rocket was launched on 16 August 1974 from the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico to test the feasibility of rocket charge neutralization through the ejection of electrons. Description of the circuits used to control and measure the ejection is presented in the first part of this report. Summary of other work performed during the first twelve months under this contract is given in the second part. This work consisted mostly of modifications and preparation of existing electronic assemblies for mass spectrometers to be flown on rockets.
